First Month at my NEW Wildlife Homestead!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Chickadees are taking over! 😀 BTW, here are the two charities I donated to for the month of February: The Ocean Cleanup ▶ theoceancleanup.com/donate/ Nature Conservancy of Canada ▶ secure.natureconservancy.ca/site/Donation2?df_id=4285&mfc_pref=T&4285.donation=form1

[@19Photographer76]

They've been reported on the decline here in the PNW, it might be possible that they've started to relocate? If the Moose are like our Elk, they'll suck your feeders dry...

[@jkoperski9925]

Nice, Stefano! I love your work and ethics. Keep on doing what you love, keep growing and stay sound and safe.

Chubby birds are the best

[@noone_inparticular]

As someone who lives in a suburban area but loves nature, I can live vicariously through you and your videos... loved it 💕

[@mariarohmer2374]

What a good soul.🌊

[@modnarer]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that drones have changed the way that videos are filmed and create such beauty an at home enthusiast would have never been able to create before

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Definitely adds an interesting perspective. Very useful to map out the property, as well.

[@mikegarcia8038]

Drones are effective during war too.

[@lukecarrol1745]

Isn't just amazing what we can now see without a big budget TV company deciding for us. The Malibu shark guy has jaw dropping coverage. Of course thank you Stefano for uploading this inspiring video.

I approve of you living your best SnowWhite life with the birds, living precariously thru you

[@jkoperski9925]

Thank you!! Your way of being, narrating, your nature shots, it all gives me a lot of peace and let's me reconnect to my heart. I'm currently in an exam time at university and I feel stressed, sleepless and not enough time outside. Thank you to let me enjoy a little through your lense. It helps. I'm studying forestry and you are an inspiration also to my future work.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Happy to help you de-stress a little! I loved the few forestry classes I took when I was in school. Hope all your exams go well!

[@jkoperski9925]

Thank you!!

[@harrisonbrand8985]

Hope finals went well for you! I’m studying ecology and plant sciences so stuff like this really helps me too. Especially since we’re studying to be in nature and protect it it can be hard to maintain inspiration when studying itself forces us inside.

[@luckytahlula6515]

Can't wait for the next one. I love your channel. Beautiful pics and excellent narration, you are spot on.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thanks so much!!

[@KillAnti-Spiral]

This is why we should protect our world, nature is just beautiful, peaceful, chaotic and cruel. This making the most magnificent thing to exist

[@WildlifeSpotlight]

Honestly this is my favourite channel, Stefano may not post regularly but when he does it is an amazing video you can tell how much work he puts into his videos! Keep the great videos up Stefano! And Good Luck

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thanks so much!

[@nathanyouseman39]

Here in England we have a program called "Spring Watch" and it follows the life of wildlife in certain locations and certain species, I could absolutely imagine you doing this as an American version. You put together very engaging videos, get shots and story and a voice that isn't annoying, but smooth and calming. P.s I want a Chickadee, from the name to eating out of your hand to being so tiny they are awesome!

[@shelly4301]

I know they're so cute! I live in Washington State, and I've noticed that they love water. There was a group of ~20 that would hop around and spash in the birdbath

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thanks for the kind words. I never heard of that program, I'll have to check it out!

[@janeparkhill4828]

I think it is a thanks for suggesting Springwatch. I am from Australia and just watched the first episode of 2020 on youtube. It actually bought a tear to my eye with it being about lockdown and the beauty in nature that people are experiencing. Very emotional!!!

[@sh8736]

Look out for spring watch presenter Chris Packham also a phototographer. We have winter watch and autumn watch too, but not a lot in the way of snow! Excellent video as always ❤

Can you make a video showing people how you stay safe from bears or other predators or just general safety about weather/snow/storms. Would be cool to see how you stay safe and what to watch for when you're out there.

[@emmacloudday6091]

I love all the little details, and fun (sarcastic at times) voice-overs. I’m pretty new to your channel and found it not to long ago today, so I’m excited to see/watch your journey up to now. 6:05 NUTHATCH! Lol, got me a good laugh there. The fact you can ‘hand feed’ birds like that (7:12) just amazes me. You montage of the Pine Grosbeaks at 9:41-10:02 was super cool; I honestly could watch compilations of bird footage with you talking over it for the duration of my weekend(s). Your editing style and voice go super well together too (I’m a person who usually uses subtitles, but I found that you are really easy to understand. It’s also always nice to have the option for subtitles too✨).

As someone who grew up appreciating and watching wildlife documentaries. Your series about bringing wildlife back, and further assisting ecosystems, has been an utter delight. This little slice of nature is a wonderful respite from all the bad in the world. Thank you for taking the time to create a video and share this journey on a wildlife homestead.

I adore chikadees, living in an urban area they are mostly what's around in winter. Watching them eat out of your hand made my day. If there wasn't neighbourhood cats around I'd be giving the feeders a try. You are very inspiring with your videos, very well made and heartwarming. Thank you for sharing

Hey Stefano, the video of the moose on the trail at night. If you change the angle a little you won't get so much flare up off the snow and the moose would be seen more clearly.

[@dawnnoele]

I found your videos a couple of weeks ago and I just love them. I know they're kind of basic, but Chickadees have always been my favorite birds. When I was a little girl I would spend hours watching them wishing I could have one for a pet. There's just something about them that I love...probably because they're small and round and adorable. 💕

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

I can see why they're your favorite! They have a ton of personality and energy 🙂

There is a sense of peace and satisfaction I get watching these videos that I cannot explain why.

[@georginarose-lg1tr]

So much beauty and ideas!!! So much wonder to appreciate. Thank You for Sharing. When I put my bird feeder stations out I use multi colored acrylic squirrel baffles not to keep them out as much as a way to keep the food dry and the birds can hang out even on a rainy or snowy day. I placed them a little higher over each feeding station and put a solar light in it so it glows in the dark for the flying squirrels (the are the cutest things). I use to live in the woods in a cabin and I can't wait to move back there again. Enjoy and be safe and a BIG HELLO to Sparrow from my 3 cats Charlotte, George and Samantha. God's Blessings

[@kiko7247]

Nature has its own pace, and we really don't have much control over most things in life. It's been interesting learning the ups and downs of this season. I am glad your plan worked at last.

Can I just say how grateful I am for your subtitles? English is not my native language and I also already have some issues with processing what I hear sometimes, so they’re a huge help when I don’t understand something. Not to mention folks hard of hearing. So thank you! 😊

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Happy to hear! I go through every video and try to edit KZbin's auto-generated subtitles as best as I can. They don't do too well with auto-generating bird names. For example, Pine Grosbeak was auto-translated to "Pine Grow Speaks" and "Pine Growth Beaks" which I can imagine would be annoying to anyone reading subtitles haha

[@Dorfdrache777]

Yeah I now that problem and I think there was no cooler way to get my English to a higher level before I discovered this channel.

[@mariarohmer2374]

I live in the city and not out in nature and I have to admit I was traumatized when I put out food for the birds in our yard. Almost immediately a mockingbird showed up and he proceeded to attack and harass all the birds. Especially our sweet Black Phoebe who felt more like a family member. That bird was ceaseless and made our yard a war zone. I was seriously stressed out watching the constant attacks. I finally took down the feeder and instead put out a small bowl of seeds in a hidden place where the mockingbird never seemed to go. I am pretty envious of people who can put out food and enjoy the birds without attracting mean birds.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Yeah that is definitely disappointing. I've only been here a few months, so I'll have to see what it's like in the spring/summer. Depending what shows up I may not be able to keep feeders filled. But we'll see!
