The Story of Hamlin the Birdherd

[@susielessard4304]

Oh David! This is your first book!! And I shall be a customer. Please do write and illustrate it. This story makes my heart sing with creativity and imagination.

[@sharontrujillo]

🎉 YES!!!!!

[@ritinkornas5336]

Yes! Becorns would be amazing books for kids for bedtime stories! :O

[@joletapetty6706]

Oh my goodness, yes!

[@malwads1836]

​@@ritinkornas5336...& for adult bedtime stories too🤗.

[@malwads1836]

He could create books with a bunch of awesome photos to illustrate the stories.....There would very likely be MANY MANY people that would happily buy those 📚 both young & old.

[@rattus3102]

I'm 60 years old and listened and watched this magical tale intently. It was so beautiful and i love the sound of your voice. Thank you for such a wonderful start to a gloomy, rainy autumn day. 🍂🌧️ 😊♥️

[@ElveeKaye]

Same age, same impressions. I am captivated by these videos and by this little story. He is a marvelous story teller.

[@celiajean7093]

Add 10 (LOL), and I'm the same. That's what you call a multigenerational presentation! I love Becorns! Thank you David for brightening my/our day! 💖

[@joannehart9624]

You are a master story teller! I wholeheartedly agree with those asking for you to write children's book. It's not overstated to say that children today need stories with gentle, caring lessons. 🤗

[@lisanorton2618]

How right you are, now more than ever.

[@zuzuspetals8323]

A tale for the ages! Hamlin’s patience and humility were rewarded. Long live becorns and birdherds! Thank you, Sir David, for sharing your love and wonder with us. Bravo! 😊

[@robintropper660]

This is actually a marvelous analogy on life, with 'nature' but also with life, period. Very precious story. Thank you!

[@KoenBlank]

David, I hope trees whisper how awsome you are while you sleep. Thank you for the story.

[@kittykawaiicat1088]

Omg, I'm so glad you gave the apprentice a name and his own story! :D love your videos, always!

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

David!!! What a wonderful winter gift ! My first grade class has watched all of your Becorn videos and ask to rewatch them again and again! They're going to be so very happy to have a new video. When you and Joy finish the book, can't wait to share those with my students as well.

[@Bloem777]

I have 2 hedgehogs (and a slightly too fat toad) in my garden that are now hibernating. I made from old terracotta pots with hay a winter home and I even get angry when my neighbor boy makes too much noise with his moped haha. I think my hedgehogs are already 5 years old. In the summer they sometimes come into my kitchen and get an apple or a (boiled) egg. I love their sniffing. Thanks for your videos. I love your creativity and the way you love animals and nature. Bye from the Netherlands.

[@sharontrujillo]

....Awwwwwww!!! 🌸

[@chezmoi42]

That's sweet. I lifted up my big flowerpots on tiles, just high enough to make hiding places for toads. The hedgehogs have the woodpile.

[@anastasiachristopher3326]

Such a lovely sweet story

[@oakdew]

As a lover of Oaks myself, i'm so glad Mamma Oak gave him the will to keep trying.

[@hollymayfield6641]

I love your childlike wonder and joy expressed through your BeCorn creations and story-telling. I see the comments of others who feel the same. You touch hearts, David Bird, and all the ills of life on this tarnished earth simply “poof!” away as kindness and sweet relationships come to life and give us hope. Your children are so blessed to have you as their father. Thank you for sharing with us! (That Titmouse has quite the accurate doe-see-doe between the BeCorn friends!)

[@maryannsy4129]

Next Saturday, I will be hosting an imagination day for 10 Grand Nieces and Nephews (ages 13 to 4) in my husbands work shop. We will be creating our own versions of Becorns. I have a large collection of acorns and twigs and small holiday decor waiting for them to make Christmas tree ornaments. Thank you for your inspiration and kindness.

[@marjamerryflower]

What a wonderful initiative. Enjoy y'all❤

[@DoumbekDrummer]

What a wonderful and enchanting idea for you to do for them!

[@AS-hc1zr]

Thank you for such a sweet story. The message was really uplifting and I agree with Susie that this would make a wonderful children's book ♥

[@Engiygaming]

Love the beacorns,always my favorite series

[@robertadunn1572]

Absolutely in Love with your content, so calming and creative. Can't wait for another story. ❤❤

[@souldancersbyjennifer]

This is the second time I'm watching this... (First in Instagram)... And my heart still burst with joy, gratitude and an overwhelming sense of feeling touched. Your work truly is magic... A wonder to the world, for all ages... ❤🙏🏻❤️

[@adrianavelasquez7431]

You said my words ❣️ tks😉

[@Emg2463]

This needs to be a children's storybook

[@sharonolsen6579]

[@sharontrujillo]

​@@sharonolsen6579...🎉 YES

[@adriannehaddow8972]

Your Becorn creations are always delightful. Its always a treat to meet a new Becorn and revisit the older ones. Love the story!

[@theresafearn8989]

Mr. Bird! I love your Becorns! They bring so much joy and occasionally tears of sweet delight! Thank you for sharing your creations with us!

[@northerngail0385]

Hi David, you make me wish there were really little Becorns in the woods. :) I'll keep looking. :)

[@olib774]

This is what children should be seeing,(and adults ) so beautiful,magical.. thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jessicab6177]

That's so sweet! I love how you gave Hamlin a little story and expanded the Becorn lore. Great pictures too!

[@ramblynrocketeer]

This story brought me big smiles 😃 Thank you

[@feeberizer]

Yay!!! What a sweet story. Patience and perseverance paid off in the end. Two more Becorns living out their dreams in the unpredictable wild. Thank you!

[@tuto108]

What a sweet experience I just had! Beautiful storytelling. Thank you!!

[@karenburrows9184]

Another Becorn! What joy. What a wonderful story. Thank you David.

[@ginalouise1284]

LOVE LOVE LOVE. How very refreshing! Looking forward to your book. Happiest holidays to you and yours - Sending much love to all from Carmel by the Sea xoxo

[@mariacargille1396]

I love this story-heavy format, with the supplementary sketches in between photos/video! What a lovely little tale

[@martyschrader]

Amen. Said better than I could have.

[@BlackKettleRanch]

Wonderful story telling. Very family friendly.

[@lauriepolden6594]

I love B corns… I love the way you create every one of them so uniquely and put a story with them but more than anything. I love that you love nature and you love animals and you love photographing them with animals. You should be very proud of what you’ve created. It’s a very unique hobby and I think being in nature is one of the most healing things you can ever do for yourself it makes you so appreciative of the things around us. I will always think of you when I see an acorn or a B corn.

[@cocoloulette8855]

Bonsoir 🙂 toujours un grand bonheur de visionner. C'est tellement beau, poétique, magique. Reconnectons nous à la nature qui nous donne tellement. Merciiiiiiiii

[@TinyGhosty]

Adorable! I love Carolina Chickadees so much, such a wonderful little bird. The perfect little bird for Becorn birdherding.

[@sharonolsen6579]

Pure magical happiness !! Thank you so much ... this brightened my day more than I can fully express ... you are awesome ... have a wonderful day !!! 😁😊💕💟❣❤

[@bob-the-Millwright]

David, you are a Master storyteller. You have found your calling. Brilliant and wonderfully told.

[@nevazegrati5543]

I remember seeing those requests, & i'm tickled to know things are starting. I know it'll be awesome! This little sample had me enthralled! 🍁🍂🌲❄🙂

[@levilukeskytrekker]

PLEASE make this a picture book! Oh, gosh, this was so lovely! Wonderful work, Mr. Bird! You too, David! Heheh. EDIT: Just read the description-that's fantastic news! I look forward to whatever your book is about, I'm sure you and Joy will produce something wonderful!

[@davidslater9297]

Hello David, Welcome to another great day on this Amazing Planet we are so lucky to call Home 😊. I am doing my 81st trip around the sun and have been recently guided to your posts by my daughter in NZ. I look forward to your videos,thanks David. Best wishes, Davo,from sunny beautiful Australia 😊.

[@kristyboxx]

This is phenomenal. I even teared up

[@kathleenoconnor8155]

Have you thought of doing a series of books? Maybe for kids, but as an adult, I would buy them for me! The ingenuity is fabulous, and your photos are magical! The little things in nature and everyday life, that no one sees or pays attention to. You bring them all to life in such a wonderful way that I can't wait to see what you do next!

[@semmaville]

I’m not crying, you are 😢😊

[@killyGHILLIE]

lol love this (wipes away tear)

[@louiseegan291]

A joyful experience, watching your story

[@JodyLSumrall]

I love Becorns!

[@michellemitchell6865]

The world of Becorns seems perfect to me. How I'd love to live in that special magical place❤

[@pumpjackpiddlewick]

Your imagination is a beautiful thing. Thank you for sharing.

[@azteclady]

You truly have the soul of a poet. Thank you.

[@hiho8084]

Love the story. Becorns are so wonderful!

[@mollycblaeser]

Please, please release a book! Then an audiobook narrated by you just like this!

[@lechatbotte.]

[@joycegronenthal2560]

I love your Becorns

[@SharonKofoed]

Awww...precious!

[@archnouff7599]

My cat Archnouff loved this story and made lots of comments . 😸😻😺😺😺😺💖

[@sherry2519]

Good things come to those who wait! This was awesome!

[@martineloiselle]

when i see you have only 182k followers! i think its not possible! a child book with a real photo was beautiful! you should work on be recognized! i see you for many years now! its time for you to be more visible and make money with your passion! its so beautiful, and kind, so touching! spell : I WISH BECORN WAS RECOGNIZED ALL AROUND THE WORLD AND SPREAD KINDNESS!

[@KatLim7778]

Just wonderful

[@sweetsformysweets3164]

For me too❤

[@PirateCaptainArthur]

adding to the comments saying write a book! this is such a cute story and i would definitely buy it as a physical book

[@finnamonroel]

These drawings look like they belong on a storyboard for Adventure Time, and the whole story would be fitting for an episode as well. This is adorable, thank you for making this

[@elwirastadnik]

Loved it !!! 😍😍😍 Thank you :)

[@3nertia]

Beautiful and just what I needed this week; thank you ❤

[@yaroslavlovyagin8779]

This just boosted my christmas mood 10 times, Thank you very much for the video, and a beautiful story! It made me feel like i am a kid again!

[@marielvanhees9531]

This is screaming "Publish a Book!"

[@thekingsdaughter2108]

Absolutely! ❤

[@sharontrujillo]

....🎉 TOTALLY AGREE!!!!

[@chelebel]

Pure magic, thank you❣

[@ElveeKaye]

Let's take a moment to appreciate that this man finds the coolest sticks. Not big sticks for pretend guns or swords, or really long sticks to make a wizard's staff, but tiny little twigs with wonderful shapes. I've probably walked by them hundreds of times and never noticed them because they're small. These videos are like, what would a forest being, only a few inches tall, do if he found a cool stick?

[@ashwahnee]

Comparison is the thief of joy... More of this, please!

[@gailwanhala6275]

this story brought me to tears, the sweetness in your voice, it was excellent ! I am absolutely in love with you and your becorns

[@martachtman1285]

A wonderful story with lovely characters!

[@Song.for.truth.]

Yes, a book would be awesome! You are a fine storyteller. Your illustrations and photographs are delightful. Thank you. 🌰

[@tonylinden603]

You have such a talent David. Old and young alike are sure to love your stories and the illustrations are magical. Thank you for giving my day a very special moment.

[@Feeoryne]

Awww You are the best!! Thank you for sharing your sweet tories!☺☺☺

[@JennyA1961]

Oh my heart. So touching and beautifully photographed. Thank you for the magic! ❤🐨

[@nicolebaker7534]

This is an absolutely beautiful story and thank you for sharing it!

[@ToeTheFoe]

Great story!

[@hobbyhopper3143]

Thank you, David. If not for you we would never have had a hint that all this wonder was living right beside us. 💕

[@stickstickley5098]

Awesome David! The Becorns, the story, the photography…your imagination and creative handiwork are simply a gift! Thank you for sharing and delighting the rest of us with it.

[@deanemcpherson3333]

I love your Becorns. You should write a book about their amazing adventures. What a gift you have!

[@PetBre]

That's so wonderful and cute.❤️🥰 Thank you David for this magical Becornstory! ✨🐦‍⬛🌲☃️

[@yuGtahT]

This is so beautiful David!! I'm so inspired!

[@Vera-kh8zj]

yay! loved it! charming story line, good voice telling it, music was even not horrible

[@silentbliss7666]

So true, often we do things because we wanted someone to see it and then give us praises. But when we do the things we really love and for ourselves, that's when life shines

[@guavadanchiva]

David, just remembered you existed. Man i used to watch ur stuff back in elementary school. Im going to highschool next year!!!!!1!1!1

[@Cre8tiveLifeJournal]

Everything that everyone else has commented so far and I adore these. Completely adore these!!!!

[@princessthyemis]

I'm so glad you created Beacorns!!!! This is so beautiful and human!

[@veldawells2839]

Simply beautiful. How much this would make a wonderful educational or fun storybook for primary school children. Just magical ❤

[@pattioneill3849]

Hi David, I get so much joy from your Becorns, their stories and beautiful birds. Thank you for your imagination. Till the next one, keep dreaming. Patti O.

[@Calciyum88]

I had tears in my eyes being so moved! Gorgeous! ❤

[@Danika_Nadzan]

Such a sweet story, beautifully told and illustrated with your masterful artistry! Thank you for sharing the wonders of the Becorn world with us!🥰

[@edimaybudoy3268]

That's a beautiful story. I was kinda like Hamlin of wanted to show off before, but my life story was different, cause I've wanted to show off how useful and talented I am to them. But then, for a long time, I slowly noticed that I don't need to show off to my family and others. Just enjoy what I draw and do anythings that I can do. Even if no one's watching me.

[@gnoot50]

this story is short but sweet. very creative too, i love how you both illustrated on paper and created the characters in real life to tell the story!

[@vegastrina]

This video is beautiful. I have tears. 😊

[@HeidiSue60]

Joy feels like warm, effervescent honey coating me. This story feels like joy. Thank you

[@reeree6682]

Wonderful! Literally, full of wonder! 🥰

[@trudiswanson9855]

Awwe ❤❤ so beautiful a story. Happy Christmas.

[@SueBonacci]

This was fabulous! Right up my alley. I would make little people like this when I lived in New England. I am now in Florida and you brought back so many great memories including the birds that I don't see down here. Awesome job and thanks for sharing.

[@happyandblessed5640]

So beautiful. Well worth the wait.

[@Babbajune]

Such an adorable Becorn story! I just love it!! ❤❤

[@donnabolling3914]

💕 I have loved all your work for many years, but this story warmed my heart! ❤️

[@ritinkornas5336]

The drawings and all the story telling are a great addition! I also like when you are more on the story telling of your creative process, but the one of the becorns stories is refreshing and super cute! :) Congrats!

[@ileana8360]

A beautiful parable and just in time to be shared with kids (and adults 😉) at christmas. Thank you!

[@flashflame4952]

I've been an admirer of your amazing creations and your massive talent for a while now. You never disappoint!!
