Such a beautiful location and so close to nature. Love the "conversation" between Fable and her wild counterparts. "Boop boop!"
I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of the wild ravens start experimenting with reproducing the sounds Fable makes. One of the ravens in my area has a wide range of sounds he likes to make in the spring. I don't hear those vocalizations from him any other time of year, so I'm thinking he is trying to impress the ladies.
Glad everyone got through the storm alright.... Hope you all have a great Christmas!
Amy, this is a lovely video with a bit of everything for us. Your environment, your family, wild birds soaring, the peregrine and the wonderful exchange between local ravens and Fable. I love your descriptions of how the wild birds are gradually working out your role. I wonder what conclusions they will come to. Clearly they are happy, gradually, to come nearer to observe and monitor your comings and goings! And finally I must say your lilac/mauve outfit really suits your healthy complexion! Looks great. Thanks for a superb video. MC and HNY for 2022!
Kudos to Amy and Julie !
Pleased you're back, have internet, electricity and a little time! Impressive wind-blown trees. The bird-flu controls, particularly, will now be extremely frustrating - I loathed keeping my hens enclosed in the past! I have none now. The stoat in his white coat was superb
Happy to hear that your family, winged and footed alike are ok!
There is a non-zero chance that Fable will teach her wild raven friends to say "boop boop" and "hello", and it will just spread in the wild.
Was thinking the same thing! 🙂 Imagine a wild raven rolling up to someone and saying Boop Boop 😆
@@diana3653 You know what my reaction would be? "Wow!"
You’ve got me wondering how it would go if the ravens at the Tower of London were taught some words? Tourists would be 😳
Such a beautiful way to bring up a baby! So different from most other children. Seeing nature and living so close to it and insync with it. Thank you for sharing your amazing life and family with us.
I’m glad that you’re all safe and as always thank you for your informative videos. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year . 🎆🎊🎈
Hi ya Amy. Looking good in your purple attire. Interesting vid as usual. Glad you all came through the storm OK, apart from the prob with internet. Have a great Christmas all of you. X
Hope you didn't suffer any damages. It's still windy here after a path of destruction in the US. Amazing video, despite all that! Beautiful family, beautiful countryside, beautiful flock - you're so blessed :-)
I'm glad you guys are okay especially Fable . Fable is such an adorable bird and very smart . This weather that's going on around the world is pretty harsh . Please stay safe ❤️❤️❤️ ...
Stupid question but do the wild birds and fable understand each other ? Or should I compare this with two foreigners trying to communicate?
It's always great to see a new video from you! Each one has something new and delightful, or sometimes new and a bit concerning. But all of them are so uplifting. Thanks so much, and take care! (And what an adorable little fellow Alfie is. My son, Bjorn, is twenty now. Everyone says it, but it's true: the time goes so fast! I miss my little chum.)
I'm happy that you weathered the storm well and protected your birds successfully 💖💓💕💟
Happy Christmas to you, your family, and the birds! Love from Chicago USA
So glad everyone is safe! Great to see you and your beautiful birds again!
What a beautiful baby!!! I'm still waiting for grandchildren. Best wishes to you and your husband.
Central Wisconsin just had two tornados, we have several trees down and there was a fair amount of damage to certain dwellings. Not typical for December. Love the channel keep up the good work!
Yeah, we lost a big maple tree; it fell right across the road. Not to a tornado, just amazingly powerful winds that blew all night long.
I shed a tear when I saw Fable chatting with the wild birds (can they see each other?). It was so lovely seeing her make friends! I do think they will eventually stop seeing you as a threat. You know they identify facially and how smart they are. They may never opt to be your friend, but they'll be fine with you eventually. 🤗
The stoat was adorable, I've never seen one out and about quite like that! Does he/they help with any rodent problems about the farm?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought hawks feared corvids as they flew higher and often attacked hawks? It's very exciting to see them (the wild birds) showing interest and curiosity at your teamwork!
Have a WONDERFUL Christmas and Fresh New Year! Hugs for Alfie!
💝
Lovely to see you and hear from Fable!! I'm looking forward to hearing all the wild ravens saying 'Boop, Boop"! Wishing you, your family and all the animals a very happy Christmas and New Year ❄️🎅🏼✨🦌🦅🐣
Thanks for sharing -
These interactions were very interesting.
'Glad you and yours are OK past your storm. We, in the USofA have seen some horrific weather as well of late, though i am, myself, on the West Coast, and unaffected by it.
Merry Christmas to you, and a wonderful New Year.
Peace
A friend posted a video of a “crow” making an odd call. Many of us told him that it was a raven not a crow (beak, fluffy feathers around beak, and size). They insisted the bird was not making a normal sound. I sent a video (from California) of how to tell the difference between a raven and a crow. He still insisted the call was not normal (I’d spent the last year feeding a couple of ravens cat treats on my walks so I’ve learned to tell the cronky call of them). I sent him your video with Fable where you talk about Fable and ravens ability to vocalize. He’s not convinced. The crows where I live HATE the Ravens and the Cooper’s hawks that are around now (not sure if the hawks are around more in the pandemic or I’ve not noticed as I wasn’t walking twice a day). The crows scream up a storm and dive bomb the ravens and hawks who ignore them. It was interesting to see your wild crows and wild ravens just letting each other be.
Sounds like your friend doesn’t like being told he’s wrong… 😬
After discovering your channel, I have a new love for ravens. I have a large unkindness that flies over twice a day. I’ve been putting out cat food to attract them. They are starting to respond but very scared of me. If they see me, they won’t land.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Lovely to see you and your family, stay warm, stay safe.
Saw two crows chasing a hawk - one broke off and the other persued 'til the hawk FLEW UPSIDE DOWN and made a strike at the crow - the most amazing thing I ever saw.
So glad you, your family and critters all fared well through the storm. Here in the states there were many people killed, and whole towns destroyed by tornados this past week as well. Stay safe and have Merry Christmas. Ps: I cannot get over how much your son has grown already! Peace.
Crows and Ravens love to flip upside down in flight, albeit not for very long.
Remember seeing a buzzard, using this tactic to capture crows, used to be really adept as the upside down spin, and grab, then taking down and tearing into them. She hated crows...
Hey Girl ! We missed you ! Happy xmas,Hanuka, Silvester-holydays Everbody . Stay Healthy &Safe Y´all . 🎆🎄⛄
Boop Boop ! Quite a bit of damage around there ! We had fearsome tornados near here last week. Looks like we will all be dealing with weather extremes for the foreseeable future. So glad you are all safe & only inconvenienced by the fury.
Pleased to see the wild birds interacting we each other & our girl Fable. Merry Christmas to Alfie & your family, of course including your birds & dogs. Have a Happy New Year. Special wishes to Fable, Boop Boop !
I'm you and the birds are all safe after that storm
I absolutely love your videos. I'm very close with the Ravens where I live. Merry Christmas to you & your beautiful Family. 🥰
I live for Fable's boops
Glad to hear your doing ok Amy
Glad you are safe and ok
Thank goodness you are all ok. Have a very happy Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year from all of us here in the north of Ireland
Fable is confused that they don't answer back, Poor bird speaks a foreign language?
Glad to hear your safe.
Weather! Glad to hear the birds and everyone is safe..
Sweet baby ya got there! Looks like a semi new addition. LOL
Merry Christmas 🎄
It's wild how much Fable sounds like you!
Wow!!...crazy weather 😳😳..please keep trying..I really enjoy your videos!!I appreciate what you do!!👍👍💪💚😎
I like how you observe the wild birds - not just for any danger to your birds - but to acknowledge and honor their presence.
I agree.
had a goshawk chill just at window height on a tree over our fence, is there any point feeding them in winter to keep them around? ideal would be if they started thinning out urban pigeons
So enjoyed seeing the countryside around where you live. We don't know much about birds and that makes your vlogs so interesting and entertaining. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Gloria
May you all be safe and warm and please kiss Alfie for me. You are always in my mind and heart. Happy New Year from Gresham Oregon U.S.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you & all your flying friend!!
glad all is well...what kind of exercise does Fable get?? ...🍁🤠👍
Hey a tweety bird, looks just he/her mom....sorry dad.🙂!!!
That first wildcrow call sounded like the fledgling asking its mother to feed him??
Merry Christmas to you and yours
Boop boop
What a delicious bundle! What a precious boy.
Delightful footage of the wild birds Amy. I am glad you are all ok after the storms... I bet it was quite a worry for you... I LOVE to feed the birds, I have a lot of Jackdaws, Magpies and smaller birds like Wagtails.... My problem is Wood Pigeon`s which just eat everything..... Do you ever put food out for the Owls and other birds of pray?? I see you have some bird seed available.... Take care and I wish you all a Wonderful Christmas... :-)))) xxxx
I'm no expert but I suspect (*guess*) wild owls would need to see movement and/or hear noise to identify something as food.
@@Neilhuny You may be right, but Amy said they are hunting during the day so maybe they could see the food... :-))
Wonderful vid, thank you for sharing beautiful Scotland and the interesting interactions with the wild birds! Fascinating how the wild crows and ravens are trying to figure out what's going on and tooo adorable Fable talking to them. Glad everyone made it safely through what looks like a crazy storm. Stay safe and warm!
Keep up the good work Amy and have a very merry Christmas and happy new year.
Fable teaching English to the wilds.
Glad everyone is OK, Have a great Xmas and a great new year 👨👩👦⛄🌲
Glad you came through the storm ok. Love your videos.
Thank you 👍
absolutely fascinating watching those wild ravens and crows trying to figure out what new spectacle moved into their neighborhood lol
Really enjoy your channel! Hope you guys have a wonderful 1st Christmas with the baby. 🙏🏼
I laughed so hard when Fable said hello..
She's a total clown 🤦♀️
The ravens are awesome!!👍👍😎
I'm in Northumberland there is damage everywhere its horrendous
It's really awful isn't it.
Beautiful landscape and the damage caused by the wind definitely showed the power of nature. Keep safe and enjoy the Holidays. Love your channel and definitely missed you.
Beautiful place, beautiful family. Love the videos. Very informative. Joel Noel from France.
Great to see you back here; and thank you for sharing these wonderful scenes 🤗🙏
Greetings from a Danish fan and viewer
🇩🇰🤠🏴
And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours 🙏🎄🌹🙏
Your vue's is quite impressive, understand your choise of living and working area. And very nice traning and hunting area to for all your birds!🦅🦉🐦🦆🦢🐧🦩🦚🦜🕊🤶🎅👼🕊Your storm "result" look very mutch as it was arfter the storm "Gudrun" here in Sweden in Januari 2005! It was matches every were!
Thanks for all of your entertaining and educational videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Fable : “Boop Boop! Hi there! Anybody speaks English Please ?! ” 😙
Ravens: caw caw caw
Raven: Hello....Boop boop...why aren’t you using your words? 🤣😂
It was a real joy to see a new post from you. Baby is growing so fast ❤️.
Lovely post. Very enjoyable and interesting.🥰 I am glad you survived the storm.
Fable... You amaze me. Amy, you do too. Thanks for sharing. 🌿💜
Thank you so much for sharing! very cool listening to fable’s conversation with wild cousins. very glad that you, your birds & aviary, and your adorable family have come through the crazy weather unharmed. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Spectacular. Love the aesthetic and ambience. Though there is something about Fable's relation to the wild Ravens that makes me somewhat sad, yet I understand the pragmatism of it all. Having followed Fable in the past, I, and imagine many others are very fond of her. Now, the context, the landscape, the discourse is, I think, wonderful to experience. By the way, I'm of Scottish background living in Australia and it is heading into Summer now, and getting hot. Just thought I'd let you know the world is watching. Cheers!
Please post more fable/ wild bird occurrences.
Very amusing!
Alfie has mommas eyes.
Happy Christmas to you and yours.
Beautiful video! Music and videography.
I'm on a mountain in Alaska. Much more deep snow this year. Gyrfalcon came to the suet feeder! Snowshoe hare and ermine, as you have also. Merry Christmas, Amy 🎄🙂
Wow shocking scenes of the trees, glad you weathered the storm... How cool re the wild Ravens...boop boop lol
Fable has new words??? Happy Christmas Amy to you, your partner and lovely child. See you next year.
I am so happy to see you, your hubby, your precious baby & your precious Fable =) (& friends)
I started crying when Fable was chatting to the wild birds. She sounds like an only child hoping to make friends. I am imagining a cloud of birds sweeping over that wild & beautiful land calling "boop boop" as they go !!
Happy holidays to you & your entire family - stay warm & safe. I hope to see you & Fable again soon.
Thank you so much. It's good of you to record the wild birds, & their responses to your birds. That was a good change of pace, I really enjoyed it. Merry Christmas‼️
So glad that you make it through that storm with no major problems Amy. I really enjoyed this video. That little one is growing so fast. Looking forward to what you have in store for us next year! Happy Holidays to you and your family! Be well and stay safe! 👍🎄🎄🎄🎄👍💖💖
What a wonderful surprise to see your video today. Glad you’re all doing well. Enjoy your first Christmas with Alfie, he is soo lovely. Loved your video. Have a lovely Christmas & New Year
Lor, what damage to the trees. So glad you, your little family and all the birds are fine. I bet it was gorgeous watching the storm from the safety of your house🤔😮😲😜. Stay safe and a very merry Christmas to you all.😘😘😘⛄🎄🎆
The breeding pair of ravens at the zoo I used to work at would call in the wild ones, and feed them through the fence. To the point that we had to double and occasionally triple their feed to ensure they didn't give it all away before eating enough themselves. They even fed an owl on occasion. I suspect that If they see you carrying in food, they'll suss out 'how you fit in' right quick, and be right on figuring out how to get in on the free grub lickety-split!
I have a couple of crow families up here in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. (Olympia, Washington), and they argue the same way as these wild ravens do!
Alright, Fable saying Hello to the crows was funny. Merry Christmas to you and yours
Wonderful to video Amiie, thank you for sharing your life and family, feathered and unearthed xxx. Happy New Year to you all xxx
What q lovely video such beautiful wildlife, so pleasedyour all okay after storm, have a lovely first Christmas in your new home and baby Luv from UK 🇬🇧
So good to see you again. Wolfie is adorable, what a beautiful family you are! And what can we say about Fable and the Wild Crows.... it's like they speak different languages! 😂 Love the channel, wishing the best of new years to you and yours.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year for you, your family and the animals. Very nice clip! Fable reminds me a bit of these people which were raised by wolfes (happened in India, story of Mowgli later based on them). He also cannot communicate any more. But Fable has you 😍
Huge winds heading to Ireland and Scotland this week, watch out for around Wednesday. Stay Strong and thank You for all that You do. You have such a Beautiful Family and Bird Buddies 💞🌻
Thanks so very much for sharing your birds, environment, and your knowledge with us. Alfie is just the cutest little man!
I absolutely love your videos. I look forward to them, they’re so calming. Happy new year to you and your lovely family.
"rabbit warrens" I approve of your front of the house landscaping. ;-)
So good to see you and your family. Glad you all survived the storm. Have a wonderful holiday.
Welcome back Amy, so glad you, your family and birds are fine. Wishing all of you merry christmas and a good healthy and happy new year. As Fable would say *boop boop*!
precious baby and Wow, what a harrowing night that must have been. Really glad you All are safe. Christmas Cheers !
What happens when the wild birds learn Noble’s vocabulary? 😊
Good to see you and your little family again. That was like a horror movie, hearing Fable commenting to the wild crows. Imagine some random person walking past and hearing Fable. My head would be spinning 😂 Alfie is going to have a champion life growing up on that country. Glad you survived that storm, here in Australia we are always getting flogged by wild storms. Gggggrrrrr
Thanks for sharing this blessed ecosystem ...from the Pzcific coast of Mexico - I received the gift of six flamingos overheard while stretching this morning and an immense Osprey with his mate - both are rare sightings along thus stretch of busy beach '- a very Merry Chrixtmas to you all and wishing the wild ones here, there and everywhere a quick recovery from the storms. :)
Wow what a storm I'm glad you all got thru it safely. I see lots of firewood, clear that out could be lucrative . That is so awesome with the wild Hawks & Ravens talking to Fabel, they get used to you & will always watch over you. What a beautiful place! The Ravens here are literally the size of small turkeys lol love them so smart & survive in minus 30 below & deep snow. Happy Holidays & all the best in the New year!
