I really wish they'd just make statues for all animals, it seems like such a straightforward thing now to have. Looking cozy as always, love how everything is coming along.
Right?? Oh well, I'll make do with what we've got (and I've heard there's a mod coming that lets you pose animals any way you want for basically creating your own statues / taxidermy).
The windmill looks beautiful! Love the continuation of the story, and overall, a very fun video to watch! Looking forward to more of Whispering Woods :D
I think the alpacas deserve a talk point. I really like the style of canopy you made over the education seating, I may have to try that! Also, that first windmill you mentioned is only like half an hours drive from where I live. Beautiful work as always!
That view of the mill when you hit play though! 😱🔥 so freaking gorgeous! You should put that out as a short, along with other vibe shorts from whispering woods ❤ I agree with Blob in having some sort of theatre, or open air amphitheater for education, and you could maybe have it as the starting point of the tour 🤔 The cinema Blob made, with your video playing in the background comes to mind as well. Or you could do an implied area behind/ next to the tour point, where they might bring out an animal that was tame, like maybe one rescued as an infant, and could never be released, or having an health issue of some kind preventing release, and it could be the haven’s symbol/ mascot for educating people about such things. Even small things how housing development encroaches on their habitats, how a fawn, or pup might be orphaned if the mother is hit by a car, and what to do if encountering injured or potentially abandoned young animals. I used to watch a lot of animal rescue type shows from UK, and there were just so many badger, foxes, deers & birds that were brought in, some being stuck in someone’s suburban garden, others injured etc, and they would always try to rehabilitate and release if possible, or find a good permanent home for them if they couldn’t be released ❤
Love all of these ideas! Having an ambassador animal or two definitely wouldn't hurt, and I already have quite a few ideas for display designs based on your comment. Thank you!!
that windmill is so pretty!! it suits the habitat so well and i just love badgers. i think either the foxes or badgers would make for good education areas. for the foxes it could be about rescue and releases - especially since the foxes were the first animals whispering woods released to the wild! and the badger talk could be about old architecture and heritage listed buildings like the wild mill! 💚🌳
Love this build, its a contestant for my favourite so far but they are all so good! Also, not you reminding me that I'd made a windmill before out of nowhere haha
I always love the addition of the story, it makes the zoo builds so much more engaging. I think the Fallow Deer and Swans would be a good place for another education point but I absolutely thing just like you said that a tour would be perfect! Both finishing up a badger enclosure😅 , and it appears we share opinions on our taste in Badgers :P. After seeing that STUNNING windmill I just had to join the discord. Once again astonishing work!
i'm really enjoying the storytelling! maybe the next talk point can be for the foxes, they are often considered as "pest" by lots of people, when in reality they are really useful to control rodents population, which also limits parasites populations such as ticks!
Watching the construction of the mill after seeing the finished product in Kingpins discord server was SUPER satisfying. 8:30. Ummm so what I do when I can’t be productive is watch your videos sooo I don’t know how that can really help you sorry 😅.
Maybe a dedicated educational building/theatre for the talk points? I would love to see the tour points used too, I certainly neglect them.. but not a fan of how they look so will probably make my own covers for them. Food for thought!!
I'm really in my "custom covers" era when it comes to education in PZ 😂 LOVE the idea of a theatre, could be a central feature of the haven? Time to go back to my drawings...
You could build a talk point near the badgers, to tell the people visiting the park that most of the large predators in europe are endangered and are being hunted for reasons like eating livestock
the mill looks so great!! and omg i didnt even know there were american badgers.... ive only seen a badger once in the uk, and it was amazing/kind of scary bc it was on a road at night and it was so much bigger than i thought they were having never seen one irl! they are very cute tho in the daylight of planet zoo haha
Omg Anna’s last name is the same first name as me! Also I love how she is a biology teacher which I want to get into biology! Love the story and great idea to have talking points since the zoo is already very educational! I think having the talk points at the petting zoo could be cool so people can learn about hwo animals were domesticated over the years and the evolution process.

Thanks Aussie ❤️

Oh cool! Maybe I should have crowd-sourced some mill pictures from around the world haha. Thanks for watching!
Lovely windmill ! And american badgers can be cute, too, like a furball that has many sharp teeth and claws
I suppose this is true haha

Great ideas for education points!
Such a great build! I love the animal talk point with the cover it looks so professional
Thank you! One of my favourite parts of the park so far.
I'm currently catching up on my Whispering Woods and I love how it's turning out!!
Yay! Thanks for watching :)
The mill and this badger habitat are beauts.
Maybe the education stuff could be about the rescued red foxes leaning into the rescue & rehab process.
Oh, I like that! Having talking points for concepts rather than for specific animals. Thank you!!
Love this build, its a contestant for my favourite so far but they are all so good! Also, not you reminding me that I'd made a windmill before out of nowhere haha
I saw your windmill in a zoo tour (on DeLady's channel, I think?) and that planted the seed for this enclosure!
@@sparrow838_ That’s crazy! You should totally have a go at making deteriorated/ruined walls then, it would fit the vibe perfectly

YES! It's so funny because I recorded this right before watching your video hahaha. Thanks for watching ❤️
love the direction the story’s going!
Yay, thank you!
i'm really enjoying the storytelling! maybe the next talk point can be for the foxes, they are often considered as "pest" by lots of people, when in reality they are really useful to control rodents population, which also limits parasites populations such as ticks!
That's two votes for foxes, may need to put something together!

8:30. Ummm so what I do when I can’t be productive is watch your videos sooo I don’t know how that can really help you sorry 😅.
Hahaha that gave me a good laugh! Not sure I'll resort to watching my own videos 😅 Lovely to have you here!
Love the story! And that Mill is beautiful 😍
Thank you! One of my favourite builds so far.
Maybe a dedicated educational building/theatre for the talk points?
I would love to see the tour points used too, I certainly neglect them.. but not a fan of how they look so will probably make my own covers for them. Food for thought!!
And great episode YET AGAIN!

You could build a talk point near the badgers, to tell the people visiting the park that most of the large predators in europe are endangered and are being hunted for reasons like eating livestock
Good thought! It would be a nice introduction into Predator Ridge.
the mill looks so great!! and omg i didnt even know there were american badgers.... ive only seen a badger once in the uk, and it was amazing/kind of scary bc it was on a road at night and it was so much bigger than i thought they were having never seen one irl! they are very cute tho in the daylight of planet zoo haha
I don't think I've ever seen a badger in real life, period. But I would definitely love to!
Omg Anna’s last name is the same first name as me! Also I love how she is a biology teacher which I want to get into biology! Love the story and great idea to have talking points since the zoo is already very educational! I think having the talk points at the petting zoo could be cool so people can learn about hwo animals were domesticated over the years and the evolution process.
I love this idea! And wow, what a fun coincidence :)
Maybe with the butterflies, i think that you got the place.
Definitely a spot I was considering! Thanks for watching :)
Could you do a tour video soon
Once this section of the zoo is complete we'll do a big tour! Likely another 3-4 episodes.
