About Me:
My bio is pretty random: In short, I am a professional singer/songwriter from Toronto, Canada who moved to Manila, Philippines which sorta became my Hollywood because my first KZbin channel MIKEYBUSTOSVIDEOS grew popular due to Filipino comedy videos. Meanwhile, I'm also a big biology geek who is obsessed with ants, so I built an internationally operating ant business supported by another popular channel called ANTSCANADA, and well basically, today I travel and tour around the world doing what I love so I wanted to start this vlogging channel, in hopes to encourage you guys to follow your dreams no matter how random, by showing you what happened when I followed mine! You just never know where life will take you when you listen to the yearnings of your heart!

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Hi, guys! Thanks for watching today's lengthy and super random vlog! Can't wait for the new aviary to be done! Yay!

[@nicoleyu7852]

Hi to u too n RJ also as my best friends forever n ever(= .

[@Bruhacelis]

❤ we love you

[@finaaldaba5341]

Started following you when I first saw the Filipino Alladin parody. Since then I'm still here. I can imagine the birds flying so free and happy in the.oitdoor aviary. Ecstatic feeling!

[@maamielamagpantay5359]

Can't wait too 😂😂😂

[@sandywalter9728]

I'm so excited for the new aviary!!! The birds will love it!!! ❤❤❤

[@roseyrose9467]

That black naped oriole is so gorgeous. The birds are going to enjoy the new aviary. When I saw Donatello walking behind Turbo, Lionel Richie’s song Lady popped into my head. So sweet how they stay together.

[@Odysseus25]

Mikey reminds me of Dr. Dolittle with all the animals 😂

[@sandywalter9728]

That's a great idea for one of Mikeys' parodies! Dr. Doolittle and his animal friends!!! 😂😅❤

[@bubbathefrogyt]

The Filipino version of dolittle

[@rjo3483]

Genuine question. Why not just construct the new aviary from the ground up rather than using the pergolas? That middle connection isn't structurally sound and might be a hazard waiting to happen. The construction of the pergolas themselves are not rated to bolt on such stilts so it wasn't tested on such applications.

[@raemenor2829]

😊LOVE, BOTH OF YOU SO MUCH. HELLO SWEET. R.J. YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.

[@Loveofpets]

Your birds will love it outside. Will you be giving them a place for cover or to go inside a structure incase inclement weather? Also what will you do with your indoor aviary?

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Yes most of the aviary will have a roof. Stay tuned for indoor aviary plans! 🥰

[@neilgunns8391]

I was gonna comment before the end that you’re definitely gonna need to put screen or cement at the bottom. I’m sure your local Varanus definitely would try and dig their way in have have a parrot snack. You’re still gonna really have to make that aviary snake and lizard proof… which isn’t gonna be easy. I think I’d put some bird houses at the top of a skinny metal pole, so if a monitor somehow got in it couldn’t climb that. Snakes can though. It’s crazy how a snake can climb something like that. Good luck.

[@Bildgesmythe]

The birds are going to love the new aviary! They can spread their wings and FLY!

[@sandrabentley8111]

I absolutely loved the Freddie Mercury parody, watch it often. Michael Jackson was superb also. You are brilliant Mikey!

[@69spaks]

4:28 wow! 25 years ago me and my family went to villa escudero and there is no aircondition room and no wifi also at that time. Its a very nice place to visit❤ 5:45 its a man made dam for hydroelectric, where the dining tables are situated below the spill way of the hydroelectric dam.👍

[@ceciliaelio731]

The Veterinary doctor in you strikes all the time- everyday of your existing life Mikey, and such a passionate and loving person that you are to your family pet friends, bless your heart. Rj is like the engineer architect of almost all the projects you both have envisioned! And I liked how you support each other in each project big or small. Can’t wait for your parents mikey to come home again for longer than 3 months- hope they’ll come and spend Christmas there this year or next year along with Joseph’s family. Another property to create beautifully, am excited already ! Yes, you guys need 2 sets of golf carts , 1 is the regular cart and other 1 is like 8-10 seaters so you guys can roam around the village for fun and checking all the houses and properties around and vlog it all and easier to go in and out para mamalengke sa labas near the gate of the village if allowed and you both can drive and so does the guests-fun…can’t wait!l Everytime I see that pool makes me smile and want to see you and rj and the house staff swimming and laughing out there enjoying!! Thank you for the fantastic and educational vlog Mikey, lots of learnings everytime !🇵🇭🇨🇦🏡🏝️✈️🌱🏖️🍁🍁🍁

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Thank you for joining us today! Means a lot to us! 🙏❤️

[@dinnopascual4887]

Hello to Mikey and R.j.! Wow. Can’t wait to a new aviary birds, and even farms yards, so far!

[@just-i-fy11]

I love your kindness to everyone you guys meet. It’s always so sweet. My Granny always killed our chickens for supper. I’m in the South US. I remember it and I’m still a bit scarred over it. Lol… I remember her hanging it from the clothesline to drain.. 🙈I will say here (now), store bought chicken does NOT taste like it did when I was a kid. If not organic. It’s like the tendons are almost like plastic. I only eat boneless skinless breast now and I love wings and legs but just can’t do it anymore. Knowing what your chickens have ate and not been given hormones I think is important and more people are feeling the same. Can’t wait to hear where you all are going in the US.. Hopefully some place close.. lol.. Hope you have a great trip to see your family!❤ 🐜🍎🐶🦜🐢🦎🏠💕

[@elcan1122]

Through the years, andyan pa rin ang Villa Escudero, got nostalgic. Thanks for this Mikey 😍

[@galexcabrera3449]

actually, since your pond has a huge water volume and a low bio-load - two turtles and guppies - you're quite safe. agree with you that you need to keep the water moving though, the fountains will help but you may want to consider aerators as well. good luck!

[@virginiaguevara3921]

Hi watching your vlog nd really enjoying to see while walking around your place. 👏👏👏👏👍🤗

[@HomeChefRichie]

WOW, this was a fun vlog! I'm so incredibly excited for this new parody! I can't wait for it to drop! That Rizal is just the sweetest giant puppy ever! He's really grown up. That new Aviary is really coming along nicely. It's going to be awesome, I'm excited to see it all finished up and to see how the birds like it. LOL, I thought I was high-maintainence when I travel but, this is next level, LOL. The very definition of commitment (hard to say too much when the results are so obvious). I think is fantastic ya'll are traveling again, doing parodies and all that... Ya'll are just crushing it! Ya'll be safe and I'll see 'ya next time.

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Thanks for being part of our journey, Richard and for watching again!!! ❤️🙏 We miss you and hope all is well!

[@maryannbootsong2412]

I remember Mutya too. Love Mikey's enthusiasm. I'm only 11 minutes into the vlog.

[@mariloushelledy]

Yay! More travel vlogs to come. Australia and Canada. Can’t wait.

[@Sanfranshelley]

The aviary is Epic! I can see you now singing, flap those wings, flap those wings So excited for the pond to be finished too, Congratulations.

[@colleenrodamer9497]

U can put in levels, rock walls, n walkways I would have put the aviary closer to the tree line for s hade n wind break for ur veggie garden put in rabbit poo it doesn’t have to compost n it works well for everything many blessings from North Texas ❤

[@flormacaraig7332]

[@worldofcecily]

I binge watch these vlogs which is a positive influence to me and fills up for all the times and fantasies I am not able to do what I want to. And your parodies are educational comedy!

[@maepb6748]

The haze is from the Volcanic smoke of Taal yesterday. It's all over Cavite

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Ahhhhh no wonder!!!!! 🌋

[@jasonquinones4901]

I was just abt to comment on this. Yes, there was a VOG alert that came out.

[@miriamtorio3181]

You really elevate the Filipino culture Mikey. I wish children of Filipino descent will love and recognize our native land the way you do.

[@eghigorospe5840]

Been to Villa Escudero... we enjoyed the whole day trip there love it so much esp eating beside the man made falls... cascading waters

[@truejediforever3567]

I just love your vlogs---I love animals, nature, plants, the gorgeous architecture and furnishings, just EVERYTHING 😊

[@marieparsons9908]

Hello, Mikey. They make floating rings to keep turtle food contained. Check out Kamp Kenan to see that the turtles will swarm to the rings when you throw food into the rings. : )

[@novacaino]

You gotta treat the aviary as a giant chicken coop and bury wire mesh all around to stop burrowing animals from digging under if you arent gonna concrete the bottom

[@gingcaballero187]

Oh, no more kalesa? Actress Lorna Tolentino's wedding was held there, it was beautiful!❤

[@jessicakrisjoaquinkirsten]

Amazing. I love how you surrounded by nature❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jacksroom3727]

I envision Mikey will soon have his mini Mabuhay Zoological and Botanical Park pretty soon. 😂❤ while the other pinoy vloggers have their resorts & farms. Mikey will have his own zoo & park 🎉😂 how exciting! Can’t wait to visit… please make the entrance fee affordable 😂

[@DarylGeraldCruz]

You should add boulders in the middle of the pond for the turtles!

[@g.s.8588]

Turtles like to feed on a schedule…same time daily…when they get used to the schedule…you will see them surfacing and going towards you. Oh and same spot/location.

[@rowenaibanez750]

Wow, can't wait to see new spacious Aviary...❤

[@MacD1432]

I miss Yakult! Growing up in Bacolod City, we always looked forward to the Yakult lady. The Oriental store here doesn't carry it.

[@mywackyboi7714]

Pinanuod ko 2 weeks ago lahat un videos mo na parody at pati ig mo nag follow ako. Sabi ng anak ko mama fanatic Mickey Bustos ka na😂😂😂😂 enjoyed all. God bless you and continue to be a blessing!

[@elcan1122]

I remember my Lola's layer chickens and how it's so much fun getting the eggs (too bad smartphones were not invented yet, such a great memory).

[@ManuelaFuths]

I've been waiting for your new vlog. Kind regards from Germany 🇩🇪🙏🥰

[@cherrygabriel1956]

Impressive Mikey! You can create a mini zoo, corn maze, and a trekking path just like what we have here in Canada.

[@aldrinsantos3181]

Love the new aviary but I am also concerned during typhoons and thunderstorms. Aren't the birds at risk? Best of luck guys. Animal love forever.

[@mariettagarcia505]

Your cowboy hat is so bagay for u 😊🤭u also looks like kuya kim 🤭🤗

[@coleen012]

So lovely how you appreciate everything you have 😊

[@JandExplorer]

Love the nature❤️❤️❤️

[@lanceclemente5090]

Hi Mikey! yes we do eat our chickens. you just have to get used to it. I remember when I was a kid, I had a favorite one out of all the chickens my family had here in the province of Bulacan. I put red paint on its wings as an indicator that it was my favorite one. However, when I came back from school one day, we had pancit for mirienda and may sahog iyon na chicken and gulays. After eating, I went to the farm to check on the chickens and I noticed my favorite one is missing. turns out my grandparents thought that the red on its wings were a sign that it was being bullied so they killed it since its weak and put it in the pancit as a sahog. After that nakasanayan na lang na those kind of animals are for food and hindi na dapat ma-attach sa kanila. haha

[@ChabanaWorld]

Mikey, I wonder where you bought those calendar of affirmations you used to read to the mabuhay squad each day? Thanks

[@Winters777]

Mikey I just wanna say you have a golden heart

[@niccicastle2474]

Can't wait for the BTS Parody! LoL. Villa Escudero is really iconic. Hard so much about it but it's a bit far from Manila. Anyway, Love your farm and the saba. Can you plant that in Canada? Stay healthy!

[@imomoiro]

We currently are having VOG or haze and there is a health advisory right now to wear mask due to taal volcano. Affected areas are mostly those near the Taal Volcano.

[@Wonderlandofcrafts]

I cannot wait to see the birds in there new home, looks amazing already ❤

[@nanettemiller4853]

The hotel room is very Filipiniana, all the materials is bamboo. Reminds me of my Grandmother’s house! That same floor!😊

[@tineetan5372]

Thanks for the warning..”do u want a roach?” Fast forward a bit immediately! 🤣🤣🤣

[@virginiaguevara3921]

How can I watch your other vlog….excited po ako makita din ito. ❤️

[@sandrabentley8111]

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Thank you so much! 🙏❤️✨️

[@ANoobAtEditing]

[@cleversoar]

23:15 wait did she just ran down those steps using 3 legs? I kinda notice she always do that, her right hind leg is always lifted up while going downstairs.

[@mikeschiesel2852]

The parrots will be thrilled with their new mansion! Can't wait for the new parody (and the always fun BTS video)!

[@randomshawn7835]

always watching your vlog.Hope to see you in person when we get back to the country

[@thomaseagles1026]

[@ma-igarcia3061]

Hey Mikey. You mentioned your Mom is from Tuguegarao. My Dad is too. 😊

[@babaluweng5431]

ohh my I wish i could see you on Sydney on october 1st! sadly I got work that day. Been a long time mabuhay squad here since Filipino accent era and watching the vlogs since Malaya. Also an AC Fam haha, Hopefully I could bump into you somewhere even it's just a slim chance

[@BennettMarks]

Seeing Turbo and Donatello Side by side like that. Donatello literally is the smallest guy.

[@EXOVVILLARUEL]

15 -20 mins vlog full of content must awesome but this Rocks

[@timdziak6881]

Mikey, how is your back doing. You healing properly?

[@auntienem]

Can't wait to see the new parody. Oh please, please, PLEASE come to Minnesota!!!!

[@Smackvttv]

Yah you definitely need to get a ramp for the turtles 🐢 to get on land I have turtles in my pond and I always see them walking around randomly

[@lulucastillo7269]

Wowww i miss my family in Sydney…..i hope to go next year if i will not undergo with my knee replacement operation..

[@etceteratvnatinto9082]

Hi mikey, you guys are amazing...and suggest ko lang can you change the goats leash / rope used on the neck i think its heavy .. i felt a bit discomfort. thank you

[@gahdzilluh6674]

What if the outdoor aviary was double that size to make it less narrow? So what is currently there plus another row right next to it, that way they have plenty of room to fly any direction! Either way, these birds are living the dream! Just my idea since you are already going all out for them. 😊

[@elianwolfert3879]

The sloped part of the lot is probably ideal to keep Billy on! Goats are good with sloping terrain. Wouldn’t keep a cow or sheep there though as they could accidentally roll on their backs and get in trouble.

[@elianwolfert3879]

Also yes it’s me again catching up on watching your videos 😂 best part of my weekend 🥰

[@xXxLunamitzaxXx]

On the chicken thing, we had allotments one used only for chickens. We did eat our chickens but it wasn't often, we had 2 sets your very common breed which was for food/eggs and a smaller blue/grey chicken we used only for eggs. The other allotments were used for veggies and fruits :) . We have since moved and only grow fruit/veggies on our garden :) I miss having fresh eggs everyday. I love your vlogs and get so happy when I see a new one uploaded :)

[@JJMarkin]

Given your love for animals, Mikey, and given you did not grow up in a rural, farming culture, I suspect you'll have trouble butchering your chickens. Might I suggest keeping the egg layers and the meat chickens separate? It's safe to name the egg layers, to interact with them and vlog them to your heart's content. Do *not* name the meat chickens or do more than feed them. It's one thing to eat Henrietta's _eggs_ for breakfast -- but quite another to eat _Henrietta_ , if you know what I mean. (Plus think of the comments you'd get from upset Mabuhay Squad members!) Ditto any other animals you raise for food.Think of being served a lovely bowl of kaldereta -- and knowing with each bite that you're eating Billy, the goat you once _saved_ from becoming food. Thanks for another lovely video. Your vlog posts are like mini vacations for me, good for my mental health, as well as very enjoyable. And I look forward to seeing you in _The Show That Mustn't Be Named_ -- I'm about halfway through season 1, and then on to season 2 and your two episodes. Can't wait!

[@firecrystal13]

You should grow some Grapes in that farm corner. 😊

[@AngryKittens]

"You guys wanna share a roach?" I did a double take on that. 😅

[@nr2pp6]

parrot of cute❤️

[@kjw4tro]

Another great vlog @mikey. Just noticed that the audio has some static issues.

[@chalkdelrosario]

New Channel ParrotPHilippines hehehe 💜💜💜

[@Olllidab]

where is Mam Nancy Escudero and Arianne ?

[@rosarydanao7241]

it is very important to consider possible volcanic smogs that can affect outdoor aviary 2) strong typhoon Since they are used to live in their original aviary, i guess they are more safe there

[@rodzabelido]

ever considered getting an Ostrich???

[@katiehang5980]

Britney seems to have possibly injured her right hind paw. If you watch around 23:00 you can see Britney lifting her hind leg when she walks down the stairs.

[@madelleesguerra1694]

hi what about your show in dubai? been waiting to see you guys here.

[@sandypineda7632]

1st poh idol #mabuhaysqaud ❤️❤️❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@maryannbootsong2412]

We passed by Villa Escudero on our way to and from Bicol recently. Been there only once during my college days (many, many years ago).

[@Juan_Agosto]

I would suggest that you make the sloping land a “terraces” like. Would be cool

[@jeanettelim-rp1bf]

Hope u will have a show and meet the Mabuhay Squad in Toronto see u Mikey and Rj

[@aletv380]

hello Mikey and Mabuhay Squad Family....what I do with my overnight oats recipe is that i make it a smoothie...almost the same ingredients plus I add malunggay leaves or any greens.... try it guys sooo yummy :)

[@gunnburn1338]

*Mickey try planting an aratilis tree they are easy to grow and bears fruit around 2 years. They are a good shade tree and endemic birds loves them. And please add some lovely african lovebirds on your aviary... 🥰*

[@rb032682]

This place is almost paradise!

[@miriamtorio3181]

Hey Mikey, you talked about sneakers a.k.a rubber shoes in the Phil. on your Balikbayan Box vlog when you were just starting as a vlogger. Can you collect some give away sneakers from Canada to give the carpenters working in your property so they don't work barefooted? Working shoes are so expensive in the Philippines that they'd rather buy food for their families than buy themselves a pair of sneakers.

[@laurakarr29]

Have you thought about getting button quail? I have never kept birds but I heard they will scoop up all the spilled feed from the bottom of the aviary and you know how messy those parrots are.

[@Ezihkhel]

The heron you saw at Villa Escudero is a Striated or Little Heron (Butorides striata) which is a small and pretty common heron species found in Old World Tropics (throughout most of South and Southeast Asia ans the more tropical areas of Africa), Japan, Australia, South America and the Caribbean. I've seen these birds when I went birding before in mangrove areas and the rocky parts of beach resorts. Rabbit poop is really great fertilizer and can probably be even sold for profit for other people who are into gardening; one plant shop over here seems to combine it with coco peat as what I found out when I bought a half sack of coco peat from them that was supposed to be used as substrate for my exotic critters' enclosures. I don't want to risk using it for the enclosures of my exotic critters that keep indoors but it will be pretty useful when I start planting around the land area for my Red-eared Slider's outdoor enclosure. Also, the culprit that might have eaten the butterfly that owned that wing you found might have been the Brown Shrikes that have just recently returned from the Asian Mainland; you can actually hear their calls when in the background in the segment where you showed the pond; the Brown Shrike that dispatched it might have its larder where it impaled the body of the butterfly right above the area where you found the wing. Speaking of pond, maybe you can patch up that part of the pond that separated from the concrete with a sealant as a precaution.
