Hand-feeding Birds in Slow Mo - Mourning Dove, Downy Woodpecker

[@lindav1403]

The Downy looks so offended that the Mourning Dove landed on *his* hand, LOL!

[@kroakie4]

Yes! 😂😂. He just kind of watches in disbelief as the dove eats.

[@mikeock2087]

He stares in disbelief

[@ChickadeeLover]

Dang the wood pecker looks so mad, poor guy. The dove is so huge

[@altern8mind]

omgosh The Downy's reaction is killin' me, such a hoot!

[@jelizabethpetrie6656]

Love how chill the dove is.

[@HektorBandimar]

Ha ha, I just love the way that woodpecker looks when the dove flies in, it watches every morsel of food it takes, " here, it's had 3 peanuts now, blessed cheek" !

[@paulscott750]

When birds can trust you like this then your a beautiful person and the birds feel it

[@ritabarker6802]

Oh gosh. Birds are so beautiful. I love them and the little woodpecker is so hilarious in this video. The looks from him/her to a totally uninterested dove is like a little cartoon story. I've never seen a Woodpecker or a mourning dove. In UK I often hear woodpeckers but they aren't easily seen.

[@Icyy_Uranus]

The mourning dove is so cute!!!

[@noahs07208]

It's kinda cute how the downy woodpecker tells at the dove

[@dbeachmawmaw]

I laughed at the Downy Woodpecker through the entire feeding !! His expressions were too funny. Loved it !!

[@somewherelse101]

As a person with PTSD, I have found therapy in wildlife photography (stills only) but this is another level completely for when the weather keeps me at home... thank you again!

[@catholicfemininity2126]

Dove is so pretty with that blue eye shadow.

[@kroakie4]

Poor downy looks so shocked every time that dove reaches for another morsel. He’s waiting to be eat and the dove doesn’t like sharing. He’s like 🥺😱

[@mpmali3181]

You are truly gifted by God You’re very very fortunate

[@pacomechampignac5386]

Incredible scene... bravo

[@amylandry4108]

The Downy is being so patient but…. It’s like literally going “seriously?!? Save some for the rest of us!!”😂

[@eyeswideopen935]

Downy - NOT happy - but patient - they end up sharing pretty well,.Both, irascible birds! Another tremendous video 😻😻

[@lynnroney1234]

So funny!! At a few points in time the woodpecker looking at you "A little help here!". Cudos to you for staying calm and not laughing.

[@Burchrg24]

Mourning Doves are my favorite bird to watch. They dont fool around when it comes to eating too!!!

[@cathylewis4753]

Someone needs to do a voice-over as the Downy's voice! So funny!

[@Rampant_Colt]

Downey's have the sweetest disposition and personalities

[@VishnuAi]

Coolist thing Ive seen in a long time

[@johnheasly7603]

This stuff is amazing. It's made me decide to try feeling birds like this myself. Wish me luck!

[@BirdsNation]

How peacefully the situation has been solved ... ❤❤❤

[@ocean_hummer]

It's okay, little woodpecker. You'll get your turn... maybe! 😂

[@evanmaldonado9799]

Such a cool video, I wish I could get birds like these to eat from my hand. The calls in the background sound like Dinosaurs!

[@yes350yes]

That must take a lot of dedication to remain that still to get birds to feed from your hand.

[@SirManfly]

Poor guy gets a woodpecker and has a fat pigeon land on his hand and eat all the nuts !

[@mop7986]

Delightfully taking turns. Now, it they started actually co-feeding each other... woah!

[@NightMourningDove]

Lol that's kind of pog

[@CenturianEagle]

Haha this was awesome! The cute little woodpecker and the giant mourning dove 😆, I just mentioned mourning doves in a comment recently I’m glad to see one show up! They’re so adorable!

[@SreeramReddyB]

The small bird is like ‘what the fuck , I came first!!’

[@meshellet.3038]

A beautiful capture you made! Thank you for sharing the beauty.

[@GingiviticCinemaMaya]

Downy is such a shy guy. Both birds are cute ❤

[@zayneroni]

0:07 this is so cool how they can just stop flying and what seems like float towards you for a second

[@padmavathirangarajan9780]

Ohh wow super super video n d cute lil bird 👍👍so sweet

[@pilotmike7569]

Awesome!😊 I've never seen such tame doves and woodpeckers!😀❤🐦

[@Mr.30FPSGaming]

That small bird is soo cool

[@vegetablegardengrochzkapus8856]

Hahaha. The woodpecker is thinking "Hey bro why u eating my lunch !?" 😳🦅

[@NightMourningDove]

Love this doves calm demeanor lol

[@joyeetabandyopadhyay3259]

You are so fortunate that birds take food from your hands! I feed birds but they prefer to keep safe distance from me 🙂 Lovely video ♥️

[@altanoitejaseia]

The Downy woodpecker is like: "Can't you see I'm a woodpecker? Get off here!!" It seems that only a bigger woodpecker would be more important in the bird hierarchy at the time of feeding))

[@cjg28]

Very impressive! Must of felt magical

[@HydeKuon]

SOBBING AT THE WOODPECKER STARING UP AT THE MOURNING DOVE AS IF ASKING WHEN IT CAN HAVE A TURN 💀

[@natureview4953]

It's cool to feed the birds from your hand.😁

[@bonniebrooks9324]

I love the fortitude of this precious birder!!! I am little but mighty!

[@paulscott750]

[@josuecrivelari4843]

here in seattle i can hear every morning the woodpeaker singing i love it, now its sommer here all birds are amazing, this video make happy how downy and woodpeaker are on the hand, nice video honey

[@TheWorldOfThoseWhoDoNotSpeak]

That is absolutely amazing! What an beautiful experience to hand feed them. I am used to hand feeding Hummingbirds but I never imagine feeding doves or other birds.

[@karamyoussef3362]

This is really amazing. Very soothing and peaceful 😌 ❤🕊

[@lannyhsu708]

Don’t think I recall ever seeing hand feeding a wild mourning dove on yt before so this is pretty impressive to me even amongst all the other birds you’ve hand feed in other videos!

[@tshiatshipo1264]

This warms my heart 😊

[@sgueymard]

👌🏼😆 The woodpecker is hilarious, he is as curious as upset with the Dove! I have both in the backyard this winter but they don't interact. Woodpecker in his suet and Dove on the ground... Thought only chickadees could be handfed !

[@Menky90]

I’ve fed the birds in my yard for over 5 years and they would never come to me like this.

[@gailhowes9398]

You live in such a beautiful area, the birds up close plus the sounds of birds around you pond are delightful ! Thank you for sharing!

[@jigglypuff7_5280]

Omg those birds are so beautiful!! Amazing 😍😍. I love birds so much🙂🙂

[@mihkelkuldkepp7431]

Good video and beautiful birds

[@JackMustang]

The Downy looks shocked!! lol.

[@dylanfoxaygameh5281]

You can see the trust build between the 2, specially the wood pecker

[@smyrnasstory]

“For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship”

[@amydason9332]

Oh my God so Beautiful Birds! Pretty Amazing videoclip 🌹USA GREAT!💧

[@MdHasan-ld1ug]

Awesome video! ❤❤

[@KingOsama420]

crazy video, awesome footage

[@thetraveler2561]

Remarkable! 🐦

[@harmonygordon6901]

So relaxing to watch. Thank you 😊

[@lindaslider]

what a beautiful wonderful encounter, that little guys is a cautous eater and Kathleen how did you keep your arm outstretched for so long?

[@JocelynAndersonPhotography]

It did get a bit tired in this one. :) Most of the time the snacks visits are pretty short.

[@letticiapockuba5295]

I love this video so wonderful! I can't believe how still the person hand stayed. I would have had some difficulty keeping it up. Beautiful birds and so sweet.

[@pico2260]

"BUT HE'LL EAT EVERYTHING! AREN'T YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?"

[@firstname3850]

2:46 the woodpecker: here we go again😂

[@NatureWalk1]

This video deserves more attention 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@atlas108]

I wouldn't have suspected doves as being bully's, but they are. I've seen it before.

[@js8636]

This is an incredible video thank you, what amazing creatures

[@Angela-kp8un]

Wow, you’re growing fast! Could get 1k by the end of the month!

[@JadyA]

what snacks do you have in your hand?

[@wastedghoul]

yooo this is so cool i handfed a male redwing blackbird to, he was more shy tho and just took a few bits and flew off.

[@artolehtio8284]

Great Video

[@MagicGate814]

woodpecker: wow..you ate THAT?!?

[@jeand701]

Is this located in US? It’s so Beautiful wherever it is. Love the sounds of the forest.

[@cobythebirdnerd3790]

Yes it is located in the US!

[@JocelynAndersonPhotography]

Yep! :) At Kensington Metropark in Milford, Michigan.

[@chazzmccloud36]

That is pretty cool!

[@kennedykrewoutdoors5392]

This was cool to watch

[@modernmistyk4341]

This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this

[@Meisterling]

aww this is too cute

[@mariocaprilli7060]

Amazing video!

[@deborahthompson1063]

Mourning doves are notoriously mean to each other and to other birds. I have seen them pull out chunks of feathers. I agree with the downy to be wary.

[@Mercifulkingdom]

I disagree

[@wildedibles819]

Thanks that's so cool big bird for hand feeding lol Much love xoxox

[@aprildemers8814]

I just this, as always!!❤❤

[@stvbrsn]

I just wanted to yell, “I know he’s bigger than you, but he’s a DOVE for crying out loud, he’s not gonna hurt you!

[@kendallrienzo2529]

That little woodpecker is like, "Come on Joe, leave me some now.. no, no, don't take another bite ...ugh dang it, you did it again you do this all the time! Lol, he is hilarious. Keep up the good work!

[@Caution40404]

How did the mourning dove adapt to you??? This is beyond amazing! We've had bird feeders for about 3 years and they never get friendly. Hahah. Wonderful video!

[@vampoftrance]

My White Winged Dove is from the pet store. I'll try peanuts for him not by hand. In the food cup. He's not trained he's wild.

[@liferight1143]

I’m in shock This is amazing I’m so jealous! Would absolutely love to do this I love feeding the birds in my backyard Any tips to get the mourning doves to nest in my backyard

[@JocelynAndersonPhotography]

I have some tips for hand-feeding on my site in case you're interested: jocelynandersonphotographyshop.com/pages/how-to-hand-feed-birds :) As for Mourning Doves, I'm not sure - sorry I don't have more info! They can nest in some odds places (like on top of lights and hanging nests.)

[@liferight1143]

@@JocelynAndersonPhotography thank you a ton💗

[@lukewilkins5225]

That is so cool

[@skyisbored103]

Mourning doves!

[@epicloser8571]

😍😍😍😁😁😁 Great work!

[@cobythebirdnerd3790]

so cool!

[@AnnaNaomi-y4d]

So cuteeeeee

[@Trash-mouth]

The audacity lol

[@fieldday1418]

their actual perception of the flow of time has to be what we call slow mo, there is too much precision!

[@happysen9654]

amazing

[@jackieknudson7317]

How do you do this. ???

[@aprildemers8814]

So funny!!

[@NileshDavid]

Are those just peanuts?

[@LordElgor]

If you guys liked this, check out Ewan Dobson’s videos….i think he holds the record for the most species of birds fed by hand, and he’s an incredible guitarist if you like that short of thing too
