Thanks for watching!
How can they look so scruffy and unkempt and just so stinking cute at the same time, thanks for letting us see them 🐦🐦
+Mel Hayley - I know! So crazy looking as little hatchlings
I’m able to use your videos to teach my Grandchildren about how important it is to be kind and take time to minister to others, (man or animals.) They see just the opposite in our world filled with selfishness and hate. I appreciate everything you share. Thank you!
I wonder how she can remember which ones she has fed or not.. they are all always hungry..
+Malina 123 - I watched the footage for awhile and they did very good to cover everyone. If one was looking weak, they would get it to perk up and feed it.
I used to pop into this live Eagle website that has cameras on multiple eagle nests around the country. For eagles - *sometimes* - they take a "survival of the fittest" situation w/ their babies, during scarce food times or when one parent is missing. I forget the word, but the babies actually start conking each other on the head in order to be first in line in case the food runs out. The runt can get really skinny & in rare cases, die. Hard to watch. 🌟But mostly amazing! 🌟
There's also the color in their mouth changes the hungrier they get. That's why she looked at all before feeding
To our tradition swallowa are good fortune charms, if they build a nest in your home, it is believed that good luck and fortune will eventually come.
+Nameirakpam Leishemba - that’s good news!
Its good fortune for the swallows that it landed in their barn
What if a bunch of swallows took over my family's building? Now we can't rent it out but it's fine cause free rent for birds lol
Oh in our culture swallow only pick households with to good and kind ppl to nest.
We watched our birds build the nest and the babies are doing great... such a beautiful gift from God

+Jjj Hhhbhb - thank you very much!
I like birds 2

Love what you have done for them. Thank you for caring and having very little interference with their lives. Also, thank you for sharing, I just love watching Swallows.
+Steets - it was so exciting to see them move in our barn!
Amazing, you saved the mama swallow and one of her babies! That’s just so special, Jake.
Thank you for helping them and sharing them with us. 😀
+Leanne Paxton - thank you for the support ❤️
You are such a good person for saving that barn swollow.
Omg the swollow chicks are not camera shy

You're truly an example of what the lord wants us to be.
Besides, those eggs are too small to make an omelet. LOL
I'll say this again, you're truly an inspiration. God bless you.

+JHG Gio - thank you very much!
This is awsome I found a baby pigeon and saved it ♥️🤠
+Brody Hensley - hey! Well done!
Nice buddy 👍
Brody Hensley so did I 😂
I’ve always wanted a pet pigeon.... idk if it’s legal tho...
@@jojoorsmth pretty sure 4 is the limit here in LA. My brother has pigeons at our house, just looking at them makes you happy! There are a gazillion species too, so each is unique
Jake, you are most certainly the Bird Whisperer. Amazing.
SouthWind Station Urban Homestead 100% agree! It’s like magic!
+SouthWind Station Urban Homestead - that’s very kind!
You guys are just so wholesome and heartwarming to watch!! My my five year old daughter and three year old son just adore watching your stories.

This set my heart racing. What a fantastic thing to watch. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. God bless you!
+Dagmar King - thank you for the support!
Thank you for protecting the swallows🐣🐦️💕😃
So precious. What a great lesson to teach your son. You are truly one of God's compassionate animal lovers. blessings to you!
They are such cute little fuzzy chicks! Thank you for sharing this with all of us.❤️
+ncgatorlady - thanks!
They are the cattiest baby birds I’ve ever seen what a terrific job you did with that injured barn swallow thanks for caring so much I love all your videos!!!!
+Dee Moni - thanks for the support!
I love that you show a whole story in one video! Sometimes is can get boring with daily vloggers, that update every few days on the progress of a certain event or topic. It's so fun to see the whole thing in one video, like you have done in this video. Great job!
+Cai Linton - thank you very much! It's hard to keep track of everything (as you saw me reintroduce the whole situation just about every time) because I forget about all of the footage I've got. But it's fun to put together a story like that.
Your compassion for that bird made me want to cry. You saved it's life! To raise those sweet (slightly homely) babies. Bless you!
Very few people could have saved that swallows life, & u saved the next generation.amazing! U & your family r truly awesome !
Thank you for helping out these pretty birds! I love this channel and have a great night or day
+Badness Guillory - thank you! And have a good night as well 😀
To me this is so amazing. What a small gesture can make such a huge difference. You nursed that swallow back to health and it is thanks to you, the babies were able to survive. Soon they will have babies too... You saved a small Legacy.
Thank you for saving that swallow. :) God bless you.
+RMaxGamin - thank you for the support ❤️
How cute! They will eat bugs.
+Jose Carmona - I like to hear that 😀
Good approach
You are a family blessed by god you make our world a better place by helping animals and nursing them back to full health. 😢
Thanks for helping these lovely creatures, and thanks for teaching your son that living creatures are NOT just target practice. Love it!
You and your family are just so pure and good. I must send you all some little gifts from England.
+Rei Weston - thanks!
saving one added five more to the barn swallow population... great job! they are so cute, i hope they don't fall out before they're ready to fly!
That is so awesome that you were able to save the momma. You are my hero! Thank you for your love of animals, sometimes they need humans.
This was so sweet. Thanks for saving that Swallow! Those babies share my birthday!
+TORchic1 - that’s awesome 🎉
Always cool to see baby wildlife.. thx for sharing😁
+brenda white - thank you
That baby swallow that fell out of the nest looked like a mad fluffy frog😂 Also kudos to mom and dad swallow for raising 5 kiddos at the same time.
Beautiful little birds those barn swallows, watched from the nest being fed by their parents. Wonderful use of technology to witness those magical moments and so eternal: the continuity of life. Thank you very much. Blessings.
Sooooo precious. Amazing the adult bird survived. Often they die of shock from being handled apart from anything else. You are definitely a bird whisperer
Been seeing a lot of barn swallows lately! They nest in huge groups in the barn where I ride horses. Good of you to help him/her!
+Briggan - they are so gorgeous... we really wanted to see them successfully hatch some babies
Yesterday we came back from our holiday to Bulgaria Gold coast and there were thousends of swallow in the air..... Great to see this.... 💖💖👏👏
+Geert Brion - that's awesome!
Oh how sweet. I’m so glad you found her and nurses her back to health. Great kindness. I would have had no clue in what to do!!🥰
How adorable they are. So Awesome of you for saving the adult and putting the baby back up. Just love you channel.
+Charlee McPherson - thank you so much!
Awe. That is so amazing. Thank you so much for filming this and great job saving the one so they can have babies
+Sherry Duden - thank you, Sherry!
You guys do a good job showing the world a different side of life.. and u are a good dad.. lucky kids and wife..thanks I really enjoy watching you video
+hamilton Tyler - thank you very much!
How wonderful when you saved the adult--- what amazing things you are teaching your children---to respect , enjoy, and nuture wild animals as well as your own.. You and your wife are setting fine examples for your children and for Us.... thank you...
Those baby birds are so sweet! Glad you were able to nurse the injured one back to health! Was it the mama bird that was hurt? They're pretty. I've never seen a barn swallow up close.
+Terri TN - it might have been a female... it wasn't as colorful.
I love your kindness. I remember Barn Swallows in my mother's barn so long ago. Thank you for a 'Mom moment.'
Those swallows are just the cutest things!
I love barn swallows!
Nice job rescuing and reviving the parent that looked beyond hope. The babies are so homely that they’re cute!
You should build something just under the nest to catch the chicks because most likely they will keep falling out because their becoming more and more active.
Derrick McWhorter Why? Nature is nature and swallows have been doing this since time began. The weak one was unable to resist it's siblings actions and got pushed out of the nest. That way the strong ones assure survival; though there is no evidence to show their actions are intentional. It's just the way it is.
@@Biffo1262 Why not?
More swallows around means less bugs around, and I think everyone can agree that is a good thing.
Besides, would you have let the injured adult die? Cause that was also as you put it: "Just the way it is."
@@Biffo1262 that's not what's happening. They're fledglings and they come out of the nest at that stage and the parents feed them on the ground till they're ready to go. The only risk is a cat getting them and that's got nothing to do with whether they've got strong genes.
A little net wouldn’t be a bad idea actually. Just to make sure they have a soft landing and don’t get hurt.
@@Biffo1262 why? Because the average person possesses a little thing called a conscience
Jake, your my hero! You saved that swallow. 👍👍👍
Love seeing baby birds. We watched mockingbird parents raise a single baby this spring. They nested in our bay laurel bushes and would fly down to our lawn to gather worms. Never seen (or heard!) such a demanding baby bird in my life! Once it was old enough to fly down with its parents, it stood in the middle of the lawn and screeched at them all day long while they scrambled around to feed it. It was cool to watch but my god that bird didn’t give it’s parents a bit of peace. Those birds are jerks from birth to death. 😄 Now we are watching doves in a nest in the backyard. Haven’t been able to spot babies yet. Just parents sitting.
❣️The CUTEST thing, & I so cant believe u saved that bird, using a blow dryer, no less. The more you know.🌟
Thank you for sharing such an amazing video. I really enjoyed seeing this beautiful miracle of life. No matter how small it is still so wonderful and amazing.
+panda boy1432 - thank you!
Barn swallows are so beautiful.
Some people say that you don’t care about animals because you raise them to feed your family. They couldn’t be more wrong. This video is a witness to how kindhearted and caring you are toward animals that aren’t even in your care.
A kind and caring rescue of a wounded animal, a nest full of adorable babies...who the heck are the 29 grinches who disliked this video????
+liselfwench2 - we appreciate it ❤️
Nice job saving these birds. Truly heart worming.
+mark zellers - thank you, Mark
You have such a tender heart! Coming into a barn seeing a near dead bird and saving its life. Most people would have put it in a trash bag.
I almost cried when I saw the mom bird getting better ❤️ And those baby birds looks so funny 🤣 What a beautiful and interesting video, thank you for sharing 😊❤️
+Anniina Jalkanen - thank you very much!
It's great you also care about the wildlife in your area. I'm now caring for an injured baby rat snake and where they can't show their appreciation, it's very rewarding.
I was sooo glad to see you put on gloves when touching the baby bird. Lovely video, the swallows were lucky to fall into knowledgeable hands.
Wow! I have seen barn swollows flying all my life but sense they are so small and always flying above your head i have never seen how beautiful they are.
this truly warmed my heart. it is once of the most sweetest acts of kindness i have seen for a wounded bird and its amazing to see the bird have a family of its own because you helped it!
Swallows sure are gorgeous and helpful little birds. I’m glad you got this footage and were also able to help the injured bird. Thanks!
Such a sweet video and love the fact that you are helping the barn swallows. Such a sweet vid. Anna Banana hugs to you all, blessing as well. Big smile here.
+Anna Dela Cruz - thank you!
You are the best you tube channel! We live on a farm in South Africa and we can't get enough of you wonderful family!
What a great experience! Love your son's reaction!
+Janice White - 😀
That is one of the most endearing videos I have seen in awhile. Such a precious thing to see. Thanks for sharing it with us,
Jimmy
+Jimmy Clark - thank you... we were really excited to see them hatch and grow before our eyes!
Nice to see it not trying to attack you guys for getting that close.
Omg yes. I love birds thank you for saving it!!
+Andrew Smith - thanks!
This video to me is BEYOND! As if it is capable of taking you from reality time for a few minutes...Such a cool work! ✌🏼
+César Lorenzo - we love hearing that, thank you
Lived at my current place 11 years now. Only had barn swallows nest twice. Once 5 years ago and again this year. They hatched out 4, last week they took to flight. They are amazing birds. Great buggers.
I'm so glad you actually helped the bird out, many other people would have just given up on it and said "it wouldn't have made it anyways". I respect that you care enough to try even if it seems like the bird might not make it.
I'm glad you were able to help them, and have now been reward with the gift of being able to watch their family grow.
Love swallows. Especially when the young are flight training they are like little kamikaze birds flying inches of the ground
I just love the barn swallows. Thank you so much for rescuing them. I have quite a few nests in my 100 year old bank barn.
That nest footage was so cool and heartwarming. I love your videos :) !!
+eleni morr - thank you!
Thank you, that was really b.v awesome to see. Can't believe huh ow big their mouths are when young. Such b.v a precious gift....
When I was toddler we these guys in our room it was great to watch them and chrip.
How can such funny looking babies grow up to be such beautiful birds? Nice to watch the 'bird whisperer' at work.
Such a great man I loved the people's who caring of birds
So you actually saved such a little precious bird?! Amazing!
Good to see the mother is ok and she could hatch her young ones there so cute ❤️
The barn swallow is thankful wean you saved it's life
It's amazing how the nest sticks to the barn. We had swallows build nests on the roof gutters. Very messy and noisy but great too see their heads poke out. That camera is fantastic. You never miss a thing. Look forward to their first flight!!!💖💖💖
What you did for that bird was so heart warming! But the compassion shown by your beautiful little boy left me tearing up 👆 he is just a gorgeous little man l just ♥ him!!! ♥
+Wincie Willis - thank you for the support ❤️
You have good hearts. You truly are good people.
Wow, that was great. Glad you took the opportunity to teach your children about it all.
Thank u so much guys for the help u did to those birds #whitehouseonthehill live long
They are one of my favorite Birds, I grew up with them, I used to come every spring and built their nest.
Wow!, All 5 of the eggs hatched!, That's great!. Reminds me of the time I rised a mockingbird. One of the best animals I've ever had.
+TOA TOONS - that's so cool! We have mockingbirds at our place and their sounds are amazing!
@@whitehouseonthehill yeah!, Their song is beautiful!. Especially when they sing at night, it's so peaceful
Amazing you were able to help the injured adult. I wouldn't have thought that possible. I spent some time in the Chisos Mountain Basin in Big Bend Nat'l Park with some friends back in the mid 1980's. One evening, after dinner, I walked outside of the restaurant and discovered a nest of cliff swallows on the side of the building. I'm just over 6' tall and the nest was only about 7 to 8 feet off the ground. It had three very well developed babies in the nest. I stood there watching when Mom showed up with a very juicy grasshopper in her beak. The babies were leaning well out of the nest competing to first in line for that grasshopper. As she approached, she got to within just a foot of so of the nest and then veered off. After several strafing runs on the nest, one of the babies leaned a little too far out and toppled out. It fluttered over to a small bush and landed. Mom was right there with the grasshopper which the youngster eagerly wolfed down and then she flew off again. A few minutes later, she returned with another grasshopper and started to process all over again. I was mesmerized. We got to watch all three of those babies fledge the nest that day. I've never witnessed that in person before and it was such a privilege. I also wound up with about a dozen people from the restaurant behind me, something I was totally oblivious to in the moment, who had walked out to see why this guy was just standing there gawking at the side of the building. When the last baby flew, they all broke out in applause, shouting and whistling. I about jumped out of my skin in the moment. It was so very cool! :-D
Nice work, Jake. I didn't think I would recover, but you obviously have "the right touch" with birds of every size. (some range, too!) Landmark video.
+p.messinger - I figured it was worth a shot and if it worked out, we could see them lay some eggs. That was really exciting for us!
She found the best spot to raise them. Nice bird first aid. They sure are cute. Love their hair dos.
We recently had a Mockingbird nest in our backyard Palm Tree. We watched as they built the nest, then saw as the female spent more and more time in the nest till finally we saw a little head and beak pop up in view. We continued to watch it till one day we saw one of the babies had fallen out of the nest. I got a ladder put on gloves and put it back in, only to see it fall out again shortly thereafter. I think he found a place to hide and the parents kept feeding it. Was a beautiful experience. I loved how dedicated the parents were to the little ones. Great job rescuing the Barn Swallow. I think it was the Female.
So sweet! Thank you for caring for the birds!
Wonderful video! I absolutely love how you capture life with your cameras. Really great angles and clarity. Such cuteness. I have a barn swallow by my front door. She already raised her babies and they flew away. Uriah is such a cutie pie. Love your videos so much. Thank-you for sharing your lives with us. 💕
We need more people like you in this world.
Sweetest thing I’ve seen in a long time. You’re such a caring person and little Uriah was so concerned about the injured bird I almost cried. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Truly incredible. ♥️
+Marsha Smith - thank you so much ❤️
Giving two swallows a second chance at life in one video. Great job. Your family cares for animals with such compassion.
