I Declare War… on Birds

[@Rainbowkittenism]

There is a certain time of spring where hormone levels are so high that some birds get completely obsessed with their own reflections. It only seems to happen with some birds as well. After breeding season is over or the bird mates those territorial hormones lessen, so he probably found a mate or moved to a different territory. :)

[@pokecare8350]

Coincidentally, Today a bird kept dashing down to one of my house's windows trying to attack it's reflection 😅😂...maybe this is what it was

[@SurrealNonsense]

Who else wants to see a flipbook adaptation of this cute little story?❤

[@chandlerhyers2553]

I was going to comment something like that 😊

[@familytreeourstory]

Amazing the way Andy handled this. He turned bird poop on his car into an adventure instead of grumbling about it. You are right though. I would love to see the flip book.

[@silasm4636]

i do

[@agcrazystudios5199]

I was gonna say that XD

[@Metalplaysall2345]

That would be awesome

[@jasonbraun127]

What a delightful video. What I find even more interesting than animals acting weird collectively is one animal doing it completely on their own. I think it individualizes them in a way we don't often think of wild animals. Now we definitely need Hopper memorialized in some kind of flipbook.

[@WorldwideHistoryProductions]

Honestly impressed how you figured out that he was impressed by his own reflection and used that theory to set up a mirror.

[@HiraKenji]

This is one of the cutest videos I have ever seen. I just love your work and storytelling, you're very talented. That bird story could be very ordinary but you made it amazing to watch.

[@knuckles9250]

Bird poop on cars is my worst enemy! Also, thank you for inspiring and introducing me and so many others to flip books and film making

[@DavidsTravelWorld]

Incredible how much bigger this little guy can make himself appear by 'puffing up' like at 2:49

[@Wyatt991]

You’ve inspired my first flipbook andy, and i still make them to this day, and I’m even remaking the AWSOME battle finale on FlipaClip, You are the best andy❤

[@rebeccaong5893]

I love your storytelling! It is so fun to see both in your animation work and in crazy videos like this 😁

[@Stef.012]

*WAR ON BIRDS!!!* proceeds to build an adorable mini bird gym, just for one little dude. Should've named him Popper. cuz, y'know, poo, pop, yeah...

[@ThatswhatsupTWU]

what a sad story Hopper COME BACK !!!

[@Loope8]

Hi! You inspired me to try and make flip books of my own! I’ve made 4 so far!

[@Crafterchen2]

Nice! how did they turn out?

[@nanardeurlambda]

4:34 my internet experience tells me this is going to be a squirell gym more than anything

[@kumori86]

3:20 ..."and he 💨💩 and 💨💩 and 💨💩 and 💨💩" That's too much for such a little fella

[@susannefreja5989]

Great video. Once, a little bird used to attack my window, and it was because of his reflection. I gave him food and water, but he wasn't interested, he just yelled and attacked his reflection on the window.

[@andymation]

😆

[@MICUTO]

Waiting for the second part where you show us how you moved the mirror a few meters a day all the way to your neighbors car.😂

[@andymation]

😂

[@StreetSurfersAlex]

The bird woke up and chose violence

[@nanardeurlambda]

1:25 Australia once declared war on birds. The birds won.

[@omatic_opulis9876]

so did china. there were no winners.

[@cryptid726]

Let's hope they declare war on the spiders next

[@omatic_opulis9876]

china did the exact same thing. there were no winners. it's been two weeks, and i've only found out just now that youtube deleted my reply.

[@Firestar-TV]

lol China too, but the Insects won after the Birds were defeated 🙃

[@omatic_opulis9876]

@@Firestar-TV That's what I was trying to mention, but My comment kept getting deleted.

[@linkstudios79]

I think you should make an animation like how they made animations in the 90s with the different cells and where you paint each frame. I think that would be really cool.😃

[@HeheHom]

*I decorated everything yesterday. Where is all my poop gone. It’s just-gone* 5:07

[@JesseHargrove-xq7js]

Make a flip book in his honor, Andy

[@Quickened1]

I second that!

[@RKKRIS-ty8ib]

I third that!

[@A-Cat-With-Wifi]

no, but why did I start crying at the end 😭😭😭 I came for a vid of a bird poop party, not emotions-

[@Y3llow_larva]

Rip hopper where ever he is

[@gmarie3]

I think this is my favorite video of the year! Love that kindness and curiosity overruled annoyance in a landslide.

[@blammers]

What a beautiful little video about an adorable little bird.

[@laruebailey698]

What a cute bird! I love this story. Andy is a great storyteller. Proud mama & Woodstock.

[@smallbar2012]

This is adorable from start to finish. Thanks for sharing something so outside your normal content!

[@AntoniTolwinski]

Awesome story... I love every animal I come across too :')

[@C1K3N]

“Sometimes you don’t always appreciate something until it’s gone.”

[@rosanji464]

The epic montage of hopper jumping around the jeep 🤣

[@eternalstudios4502]

Any normal person: Just puts the car in the Garage. Andy: Lets just record a documentary.

[@alexlik4197]

Such a cute video! Thanks for sharing this little mystery with us.

[@Quickened1]

Nature sure is fascinating...

[@birdhippie]

This video was such a treat to watch. In case ur wondering, I believe this bird was a song sparrow. I hope he/she returns soon and is just gone for migration!

[@kidj4595]

Hopper is ADORABLE, but I also miss him :(

[@maiyapramod1994]

Small birds does the same thing with our reflective window glass. It is very beautiful to watch that actually.

[@EricDG326]

Should we be worried, Andy?

[@Cal_inkman23]

chicken 🐔

[@stephenpmurphy591]

Yes, their massing out there. It's the high tide that's the signal to attack..The high tide it's the high tid e

[@LukeHaileyM]

If you really want Hopper back Andy, then get a few hundred Jeeps. You'll be in depth by the end, but Hopper pooping on your jeeps every day, it's worth it.

[@performa476]

A little Shakespeare, a little science. Absolute gold.

[@Yes_im.a-lordpeacock]

This is why Mrs tweedy is a villain

[@Mydumbstuff6075]

We will miss hopper

[@kmktruthserum9328]

He didnt even know hes a celebrity

[@JmocStudios]

It was the bunny’s!?! 😂

[@No_Plastic]

What a lovely story! ♥♥

[@AppleFrogTomatoFace]

he is a alpha bird, and he saw the jeep and thought is was river, but dry and interested and was having fun. he poops everywhere to mark his territory so other birds won’t come. it was his fun place. and he migrated somewhere and forgot about it. i think….

[@toneymerritt8814]

What a fun piece of work!

[@stqrryhze]

Hi andymation! I love your videos! I hope I can be as good as you! Hope you read 😊

[@paulshewmaker4568]

It's a Song Sparrow and this is 100% territorial behavior. This bird is not having fun, he's trying to drive away the competitor in the reflection. It can be worse. I had a Pileated Woodpecker attack my F-150 for a couple of weeks. (think Woody Woodpecker)

[@qlittboy]

God bless you Andy

[@clarewillison9379]

My impression was it was a young bird and all territorial behaviour (marking his space), and agree definitely with your idea about the reflection that he’s attempting to see off a rival. Love the scientific approach you took, though for a few tense moments at the start I feared we were going to be witnessing a Mrs Tweedy-type origin story.

[@anzaklaynimation]

Truly jaw dropping story.❤

[@SonicZHedgehog1985]

Can you make a flipbook above this?

[@Julika7]

I don't get why you don't park your car in one of the three garages in the background?

[@andymation]

Oh good question. I’ve converted my garage into my studio space.

[@MoreCranking90s]

Maybe hopper has his own jeep now❤

[@EiffelFlower]

One of your funniest videos yet. 😂😂My whole family liked it. 🤣🤣

[@kaiiiichen]

this was so entertaining to watch as you brought us on your bird-poop journey

[@josiahhill4993]

This is a really well made video.

[@PiksoKN]

Thanks for this Video ❤ so cute

[@MelissaYurongSu]

This might sound immature but idk y I laughed when he said this 3:19 😂 I rewatched and still laughed

[@sheejanavami3347]

He says "poops poops and poops😂😂

You know, birds can't see glass

Can you make a slug Terra flipbook

[@Blue_phoenixLover]

BIRDS!!! TONIGHT WE POOP ON THE CARRRRRRRRRRRR!

[@The-virus-r4z]

IM BAACK!🎉🎉🎉

[@BuckBrothersProjects]

I'm convinced bird's favorite pastime is pooping on people's property. Especially Canadian geese, they invite all their friends for a 💩 party.

[@eternalstudios4502]

Jeez that bird out for blood

[@shortstories2023]

Make a flip book in his honor, Andy

[@mysterytruck]

i hope Hopper found a good bird mate.

[@sdal_yt]

the bird probably died, very interesting to see a bird with such a distinct personality

[@Alan_yt654]

Hello,i want to know if you can make a figth animation similar to an animation called k.j,even though I know you're not going to answer me,I hope one day you do.

[@ANIMEWITHROMO]

Can you make slug Terra flipbook please

[@felipebrognoli]

Dude, this video is awesome! 😂 Why did you wait a year to post this masterpiece?

[@sno_man8284]

it was me.. i was the hopper >:)

[@bbrachman]

What a wonderful video. Had me fascinated. I feed birds and some species are annoying.

[@RKKRIS-ty8ib]

Random thing: Could you react to Animation vs Animator?

[@RKKRIS-ty8ib]

If you want I'll put the episode here: Animation vs Animation 1, 2, 3, & 4 Animation vs Minecraft Original Animation vs Minecraft Season 1 & 2 Animation vs Animator 5 Animation vs Minecraft Season 3 Animation vs Animator 6 ep 1 and 2

[@Ernzt8]

I miss him too allready

[@SoCoolScience]

So what your saying is your next flip book is going to be about a bird flying

[@zem_842]

its giving mark rober squirrels

[@minilopkastudios4711]

Mirror: shows Hopper's reflection Hopper: Who the heck is that guy. He must be an invader! I must keep him away from my toilet and gym!

[@MH-lz6rr]

I like that cute fella

[@musique766]

I really want to see "The Birds" but my parents don't allow me

[@Ghitsghuts]

Hey andymation if you see that bird again, just try to catch it

[@artcraftsandgames1796]

Actually, that is bird pee black is bird poop

[@mr.drumstick]

Gives a bit of Mark Rober vibes.. Hope the bird is ok!

[@savebatsfromscratch]

This is so cool??? Love it!

[@RogerioCosta1.0]

Mate season. They think there are other male birds on the mirror surfaces.

[@NightOfTheFullMoon]

Luckily my cat likes to hunt birds for sport. The birds are terrified of her. If only she could lower the population around your house for a bit 😂

[@edwill62]

House Wren , and it appears to see itself or he thinks it is another bird, so he is doing his thing birds do...Lol

[@chauntentori]

Bird in the window.

[@sonicburst9734]

I've always wondered if you were to respond to this which I'm guessing you won't but if you do that's awesome I'm trying to do this challenge where I gather a bunch of KZbinrs in discord and they do challenges for fun

[@tessbooks365]

I feel your pain. 😢😂❤ Is that Karma-Bird? What have you done, Andy? 😅 Glad it didn't go on forever.
