Well I'm an old woman I'm 65 years old and I enjoy watching you work around that Old farm what I really like is when you're inside working on the inside of the old little farm I live in Odessa Texas I enjoy you God bless you
Awe such a Wonderful idea on putting up the Blue Bird boxes. I would but a very nice older Neighbor has many little bird houses. Then he has some Bat boxes too. So I get to have the best of both worlds. Love it Thank you for doing all that you are doing on the Old Byrd Farm.
Love the video bird houses and taking stewardship of nature’s creations is the greatest thing we can do I think. It is another addition to preserving historic buildings,properties,homes,.
☺️🧑🌾🐦🐦🐦I love the little bluebirds,I'm so glad you are helping in their come back! I got my flower planters on my front porch full,pansies,violas,batchelor buttons,snapdragons,geraniums,marigolds in my herb garden,my lemon balm is back from last year,waiting on the rosemary to green up and my roses are leaving out,I'm so enjoying this sun ☀️! 💞to y'all from KY!
Congrats🙂 Early this spring I saw a bluebird taking a bath in the neighbors roof gutter, and years ago there was a young one on my parents patio. It let me hold it, they are so sweet and docile. Thanks for sharing Robert 🌄🐦
Very cool. Great to see they loved their new condo & it worked out just fine on the Old Byrd Farm! Prob my fave bird. Good to see you both at it again. B safe u two.
It is amazing to see baby birds learning to fly. Once they do learn, it is on to Greener pastures. They will love their new house you just put in for them. You are awesome
I'm surprised you got bluebirds in the first box with all the noise from the Kubota/chainsaws near the box. Wonderful! Neighbor has a nice pasture the birds like. 🐤💙
Congratulations - Happy Baby Bluebird Success - great news!! Great idea on the second box, and establishing a trail. Off season you can treat the box on the exterior with linseed oil to help protect against weathering.❣️❣️ More tshirt ideas coming your way in comments. Keeping a list for more creating.
Love seeing the horses grazing. Totally enjoy watching Copper and his antics, lol! I don't have Bluebirds, but lots of Cardinals (We call Red Birds) here in Dallas Co., AL. Do they nest in bird houses?
I'm so loving the huge changes you're making to the property. I know everyone wants you to work inside the house but that wisteria is a top priority now that the roof is on. Love all your videos Robert.
Great to see you and Aaron, and so happy to see baby bluebirds. Aaron had mentioned two videos ago that when you two went to a local estate sale recently, that you bought a few items as well, and then never showed what you bought, taking it that the weed eater was one of them?? Up here in Upper Northeast Illinois, we have been getting our Cardinals back, saw a beautiful pair yesterday in our yard, and lots of robins and red winged black birds..Look forward to future videos..
I don't have any bluebirds but do have lots of Martins and Hummingbirds each year. Seen the Polk weed and that is something you may need to spray as it very hard to kill without chemicals. Glad to see things improving. Keep up the good work
@@karenwright8556 Only if they are VERY short (less than 2 inches, if I recall correctly). After that, pokeweed is toxic. (Assuming we're talking about the same plant: large leaves, pink stalks, grape-like clusters of small dark purple berries.)
Well, I’m much of a Florida gal n I’ve never seen a Blue Bird just our out old Blue Jay’s. I guess I’d better look up Blue Birds as I have no idea what they look like. I think that’s pretty cool having the birds nest in there so quickly. I can imagine how happy you felt. I have to agree that newer one you got is much nicer. That would be so neat to make more as a trail for them. Still loving that T-shirt your wearing. Don’t forget me. I want one. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🐶
I have those vines all around me. I have been told they are called wild rose vine. You have to dig the bulb out of the ground to get rid of it. If you pull it out, you will never get all of it and it will start another vine. I have dug older vines and they can get bigger than an eggplant.
thats really cool with the blue birds! if i may say though, the pipe your throwin in the ground would be better suited for your electrical service. but if you like spendin 105$ on a birdnest pole have at it.
Instead of " kill two birds with one stone", say " feed two birds with one bag of seed". Lol, enjoy all your videos.,and I check daily for new videos. Keep up the good work.
I'd love to have bluebirds and some cardinals but those just aren't in the Pacific NW. I have hummingbirds all year long plus robins, bluejays and stellarjays and many other small birds. Oh we have a mating pair of ring necked doves that live nearby.
There is a difference between blue birds & blue jays. Blue jays & mocking birds will attack anything, ppl, animals, the mail person that gets near their nest. Lol. My mail man refused to deliver any more mail to our box because the mocking birds kept attacking him, when attempting to put our mail in our box. We had a crept myrtle tree. 4&+ ft from the box. The momma bird attacked him every day at his truck window. It was funny & tragic at the same time.
Do you have groundhogs in your area? When I saw that hole you found, right away I thought it might be from a groundhog. We have a few of them on this property. I think I have seen two of them hanging out in the yard together, at least once. Anyway I can't believe bluebirds found the first nest box so fast. That's awesome.
Squirrels or rats ate out the holes on my bluebird houses. I have 2. I bought some kind of metal thing to repair it, but not sure if it will repel the bluebirds or not. One block away this really trashy house burned down and I think all the rats migrated north to my chicken houses, garages and even our 2011 crew cab dually have all been effected by the rats. We need traps.
Those vines with the thorns that are just coming up, are briars. I call them the Briars from Hell. To get rid of them, you need to dig up the underground tuber/rhizome type bulb which can grow rather large under the ground. Like a wisteria, if you don't get the entire rhizome, the briar will come back up again.
Excellent!!! Yes, I have at least two nestlings twice a year. So much fun. The adults love mealworms. The man with a plan!!! lol At least 10 feet apart is what we are told here in Kentucky. Very nice box. The horses in the background are so pretty. Love seeing them graze. lol Cooper is helping..
Just an idea and maybe not a new one at all: have you ever thought of having some goats eating all the plants on the ground? Maybe they even like wysteria...;-))
Curious question: That ditch outside your fence: Guessing you can't bush hog it because of the rocks? Doing some ...'farm' improvement at home and trying to find out the best methods.
I don't know the true name of the vine but I call it Carolina burbwire it's almost as bad as Westeria . But if dig down pull up the bulb you will get rid of it.

How do you know they fledged and weren't taken by a predator?
@@jackdupp2047 cuz I watched them
@@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOGThat's good. As the weather warms , the rat snakes will be very interested unless your fence gives them a shock.
Thanks for sharing this. I was thinking about them this morning. 💕

Great to see you are a keen conservationist, looking after the indigenous bird life!
I bet you felt like a proud grandpa when those babies left to make their mark in the world!
I happy that you built shelter for the birds to have their babies.

Great job everyone God bless you all and Keepsafe 👍 ❤ 🙏
Great to see those baby bluebirds. So much going on at the farm.
Cooper sure learns fast! You taught him how to dig a hole in less than 30 seconds.
A new T-shirt idea! "Defeat the Wisteria!" Love the Bluebird box. Everything is shaping up nicely.
Second that emotion… Awesomely cool idea about T-Shirts💯
Wonderful about the bluebirds.
Boy I injoy all your videos .you are one busy man good luck on all the great adventures
More babies,less mosquitoes. Win win.
GOOD JOB YOU TWO!!!!

Progress.......one step at a time with some neat starts at bringing in some future beauty to the landscape. Bravo!
with all the scrap wood you and Aaron have, you could make a whole bunch of bluebird houses.
Bluebird boxes are super! They’re the sweetest little creatures!

Greeting 🇦🇹
How nice 😊. I have a few families of brown thrashers in my trees and have been loving watching the fledglings hopping around lately.
BLESS YOUR HEART!
Loved the install of new blue bird box. God bless.
I enjoy looking over the fence to see the horses in the pasture.
Love Bluebirds so I’m thrilled for you at the farm ☕️🐓✌🏻
I am glad spring has sprung by you
Congrats🙂 Early this spring I saw a bluebird taking a bath in the neighbors roof gutter, and years ago there was a young one on my parents patio. It let me hold it, they are so sweet and docile. Thanks for sharing Robert 🌄🐦
Those bluebirds are so sweet. Its lovely seeing it all coming together. 😊🏴
Horses! I love the horses ❤️❤️
Nice bluebird house! I have a family of five bluebirds now. They are multiplying which I love as well. Good luck with the housing! 💙🤗❣️🌸👍🏠
I love your idea of many bluebird boxes! Springtime on the old Bluebird farm!

Great video Robert. Happy the Blue Birds liked their house. Good idea to have more. Copper seems very comfortable on your farm 😂
Yes it's time for the Bush hog to get the property beautified . Love the videos.

Robert, you should set up a Blue-Bird nest cam live-stream. This would be wonderful.
Wild Asparagus! It does tastes good. I was skeptical myself.
Well my friend, you now have the pattern for the blue bird box, go for it🤗. You have the wood. 😁👍
Robert Look into a bamboo blade for your weedeater, might go through that wisteria really well.
Awesome VIDEO
I love birdies!

Love bluebirds. We have some here in Tennessee.
Love Bluebirds ! Make another box please .
Great video robert,,Hi Aaron how are you
awwww....
I live in New York. The Blue Bird is our state bird. I can only see them when I go to the Carolinas.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on.blue birds are pretty birds

Poke greens are good to eat, don't kill. You can batter dip the stalks and fry yummy!

And don't eat the berries,they are the part that's bad.

You should get a couple of bat houses.
Make sure you read the directions because the bats are kind of picky.

Thanks happy about the baby bluebirds. Good luck with the new blue bird house. Take care
I think you’ve done great work but I would like to see some work on the house
Need to train copper to dig up wisteria.
Squirrels or rats ate out the holes on my bluebird houses. I have 2. I bought some kind of metal thing to repair it, but not sure if it will repel the bluebirds or not. One block away this really trashy house burned down and I think all the rats migrated north to my chicken houses, garages and even our 2011 crew cab dually have all been effected by the rats.

Have you thought of putting a couple goats in there to help mow?

Here in southeast NC we call it the devil's switch. For those who don't know what a switch is it's the thing moms used to get our attention😊

that was a nice freeby. on that note what is the statis of you gettin grid power?
Do goats eat wisteria? Aaron can bring his herd over ;)
Next box could be in partial shades for hot days!
Where can I get the shirt your wearing??? Great vids
Just an idea and maybe not a new one at all: have you ever thought of having some goats eating all the plants on the ground? Maybe they even like wysteria...;-))
That vine is in the smilax family ... same family as green brier. Don't know if it's edible. There's a huge tuber underground that it grows from.

One problem with all small engines is today’s gasoline. It’s not the engine. It’s your gov ( corn oil add)
I don't know the true name of the vine but I call it Carolina burbwire it's almost as bad as Westeria . But if dig down pull up the bulb you will get rid of it.
Don't be saying "kill 2 birds with 1 stone"....You want to PROTECT those little Blue Birds🐦😂
Look at Cooper digging the hole😃😃😃😃😃😃
Funny says insect proof. Birds eat insects so like having on order delivery.
Might want to read up on it but I think the boxes need to be "X" feet apart. Bluebirds are territorial and don't like crowding.
Robert did u get those paint brushes I sent u
Do goats eat wisteria vines? If so maybe get some.
Dawns here ☀️
are you ever going to fix the old tractor
that new roof shiney as it is probably scareing away the wisteria witch they dont like bright lite
2 of my hubby's blue bird boxes had tge hole chewed up, making the hole bigger. He can't figure our what did it.

@@bonnielayfield1406 thanks. Guess the Beagle Boys are slacking. Lol
Okay, if you're into preserving wildlife, I don't think you're going to want to kill two birds with one stone. Are Ya?
I do NOT like those vines! I am ready for a bush hog attack video. 🚜
