LesleytheBirdNerd please keep making videos about chickadees Bird and chickadees Bird are so cute.
LesleytheBirdNerd Have you ever done a video on mockingbirds? I've seen them on the ground, running a few steps, then aggressively spreading their wings for a moment, pulling them back to their bodies, then repeating the process. I've always seem them through a window when they do this, so have not been able to see what other bird(s) they might have been doing this to impress. Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks so much Lesley.
I have a pair in small bird house in my yard. They chased off a Carolina wren that has used it 2 years. They chase anything that comes close. They terrorize the yellow finch on the 1 feeder I have. The babies are hatched, and have a 8 foot drop, to the grass. Hoping for the best! Thanks for the great videos.
I live in a neighborhood so my backyard is not that big but I have a bluebird birdhouse just wondering if I put up a chickadee house about 30 feet away would that be sufficient space for them?
awww, Tiny and Tim. My most loved Chickadee, I named her 'Beaker'. We were buddies for 3 years. She was the first Dee to eat out of my hand and she decided that I belonged to her. She was funny and smart and brave. She would sit on my head, my shoulder, wherever she landed and have little chats with me. I fed her walnut and pecan pieces. Once I tried feeding her dried mealworms. She spat them out, gave me THAT look, bit my thumb and flew into the cedar hedge. I had to immediately apologize and offer her pecans. I looked like a mad woman talking to a hedge, I'm sure. She's been gone 2 years ago this month. I miss her.
icouldjustscream Sounds like she had definite opinions on what she would and would not eat. And let you know about it. What a personality!
TY so much, Lesley, I sooo loved this! Our Lord's Beautiful & Wondrous Creation never cease to amaze me and fill me with JOY!!! 💞
This made me cry. I remember those birds. They were always making an appearance in your videos.
Just amazed at God's little creatures! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful when a bird trusts you enough to eat out of your hand but when they bring the fledglings to you...and trust you enough to take a family photo on your arm that is amazing!
Yes, amazing isn't it!😊
1. Watching Black - capped Chickadees building a nest directly outside my new work-from-home quarantine window
2. Wearing Lesley's "Birds Make Me Happy" t-shirt
3. Check youtube and see this video has been released
4. Best day ever
That's is so awesome!
Chickadees are one of my favorite birds. One always patiently waits on my head as I fill the bird feeders in my yard. Another flew into my house, looked around a bit, and then flew out. Such cute, intelligent creatures.
This made me cry. I feel attached to these birds through your videos. Thank you for sharing this, Lesley.
You are very welcome. It's hard not to get attached to them, they are so true, innocent and beautiful.
Thank you for a little bit of light during these dark times!
We all need this right now. Lesley has a very relaxing voice and it is so lovely to see the rapport she has with all birds. Think we all pray that this will be over soon. Stay well and be safe.
So well said!!

Because of lockdown, I am getting to know my little friends from the surrounding forest, and feeding them. The Chicadees are the only birds brave enough to hang around me when I bring out seeds.
Chickadee's are my favourite birds, along with nuthatches. Something about their bravery, and nature just makes me feel good. They are so energetic, and feel like thistle down on my hand. Makes me feel somewhat protective of these little guys. Nuthatches are so quick and feisty, and when they make noises like they are chuckling, or chortling it makes me laugh. I love seeing them both. 😀
I love these black capped chickadees, they are so friendly. I have many of them around my house. And they sound so beautiful.
Recently a wonderful flock of crows has joined my neighborhood, and at the expense of some trash and bread, they've started chasing all the predator birds away! The chickadees have never gotten closer! Videos like these help people like me get closer, and more educated, towards birds like these.
One summer, Black-capped Chickadees nested in a wren box right outside my home office window. I put cat hair brushed from our indoor cat in a suet cage, and the Chickadees used some. I watched daily, until the eight fat noisy chicks filled the box, and cat hair was sticking out the box seams! It was a treat to have that family so close.
Rob Ranney-Blake Eight! Wow! I bet they were a full time job for the parents to keep fed.
“They're so busy going back and forth that they often run into each other...” What a beautiful video. Chickadees are adorable, single or in couple. 🥰
You are a unique person to be able to have birds get that close to you
Thank You for the video
Chickadees are pretty friendly. If you feed them it's not hard to get them to land on your hand.
CG Account I just sort of talk to all of nature when I have the opportunity, I’ve noticed that they show themselves on the occasions when I’m around, they seem to know that they can trust me, although during these times they are scared off by all the people out getting some fresh air and exercise and exposure/reminders of what nature has to offer them and I understand that is in their best interest and don’t hold it against them when I’m out in nature myself.
Thank You for your informational it is appreciated!
CG Account you should do a seperate vid discussing this - would be interesting
Chickadees are fast becoming my favorite little birds ...! Thanks Lesley !
Boy.... if had a dime for every video I've watched in the last few weeks.
these lil guys come and occupy my bird house every year and I always look forward to it.
I've heard that bird call so many times, now I know what bird it is. Thank you.
😄💖 What a Beautiful Lovely Loving Intimate relationship you have with this family. Extremely touching video!
Your spiritual giftedness is a beautiful blessing. Thank you for capturing and sharing this incredible circle of life. I will always save my cats fur now to assist with nest making! ❤
I currently have a pair preparing their nest in my bird box on the patio. They’re so cute and fun to watch. Every morning I make a cup of tea and watch them. One will go in the box and the other will stand on the railing and keep watch for danger. Thanks for the video! It found me at the perfect time
Another ten minutes of forgetting everything in my life. I love coming into your world. It's a great place. Thank you Lesley 🤩
Thank goodness for you, Lesley. You restore my faith that there are good, caring, thoughtful and compassionate people out there. Thank you for the well thought out narratives and the attention to detail while filming.
chickadees are becoming one of my favorite birds, these little guys and their songs are just so charming
That's my goal...to have them sit in my hand!...❤😊 thanks again for your great work!!
I go to several different RUclips channels for various content I find interesting (like most people I think).
They have different overall audiences which is reflected in the comments sections.
My point is that in my opinion, this channel has by far the most polite, well-spoken, good-humored, and frankly lovely people commenting on it. This makes the comments sections just as enjoyable to read through as the videos themselves are to watch.
Thank you Ms. Lesley for all the effort you put in to your videos, and thanks to the rest of you for your cool stories and for zero of you being trolls.
What a lovely comment!🦚
Major compliment for all of us bird nerds!!
Only because she skirts around the sensitive subjects of birdie politics!
Lesley thank you for your videos. I have learned so much. Today I had my own chickadee encounter. My grandmother was getting some trees trimmed and I had a feeling a nest was in one of the trees. I saw the men notice the nest and when he reached in to get the babies I ran outside to help. I held 4 baby chickadees to keep them warm as I stayed near the tree and came up with a plan. I watched mom and dad hop around, looking for their babies. They saw me and stayed around me but they were panicked. I was panicked too! The little cuties were starting to chirp for mom from my hands but they were mainly content and warm. I found a little birdhouse, filled it with their old nest b/c the branch was broken and placed the little fledglings in, hung it in their tree and said a prayer. I watched mom and dad find them and they seem to be well fed and happy as of this evening. What a relief!
Love those chickadees! I have some nearby; feed them all winter. Thanks.
What wait I teared up at the end!!! Tiny and Tim R.I.P.!!!
I love chickadees so much. I can get them to land in my hand to eat, and they dont fly away when i go near them. One time a chickadee landed on my fishing rod while i was reeling in a trout and stayed on even as i moved the rod around. They are super cute and friendly, my favorite bird for sure. I love chipmunks too (sidenote).
Chickadee is only wild bird that I could get to land on my hand The male on that branch swaying back and forth was too funny
They are truly my favorite little bird! Always in a hurry!❤️
I can’t help but to inspire in this bird craft , thank you 🙏
Thank you Leslie that was a lovely presentation of our Chickedee friends so nice to have a close-up of you really appreciate your work
Happy Resurrection day !
Those pics. of Tiny and Tim are priceless.
Great video of Tiny & Tim Lesley! Thank you for sharing them with us!💖👌👍😎JP
When I lived in North Carolina I had many birds come to my feeders. I loved the behavior of the Chickadees - rather than fight each other to get to the feeder, the chickadees would line up on the nearest tree limb, and go one by one to the feeder, always waiting until the one before him or her was finished. So polite, and such beautiful little birds!
How cute that must have been!😊
I’ve been watching a pair build a nest in a birdhouse I put up in my garden about a month ago. They are very busy and have no fear of humans because they are used to seeing us outside and come to the bird feeder while we’re sitting on the porch and “dee-dee-dee” at us, grab some seeds and fly off. So cute!
I really like how chickadees sing.
Beautiful video, but it was so sad to see that they had passed. Chickadees are the cutest and spunkiest.
Thank you for the smiles!!!!🤗
Lesley you are such a kind PERSON, I tear.
Thanks Lesley for sharing. The memorial was very touching 💙 Im so glad you got to enjoy those two so much over the years. Thanks for all that you do, for the birds, and for us, your audience & fans 💙
Thanks so much for the kind comment. I truly did love those two chickadees and am glad they were in my life for a few years. Take care
I love how Tiny posed for the selfie. So cute!🥰
Your calming voice and this beautiful video truly lifted my spirits today. Great tribute at the end for Tiny and Tim. Thank you!
This is my FAVORITE bird! Thank you so much for making this!😄
Wonderful video and narration. I live my little chickadees! They are such a friendly bird that they will occasionally feed right from my hand.
I love Black-Capped Chickadees, we have them in our yard year round. They are like little spies, always keeping track of what's going on. They're the first to come to the feeders when I refill them and bravely flit within a few feet from me to get their treats. They seem like such cheerful little birds.
That's where the moss on my bonsai trees is going.
Quite possibly my favorite little birds 💕 I love the relationship that you have with them. It made me sad to know that they are gone. Thank you for another lovely video.
Thanks for sharing your memories of Tiny and Tim, they are obviously very special to you and now to us as well. Happy birding!
❤️Tiny &Tim😢
😭😭😭😭😭😭 I come here to watch your videos to heal 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭thank you Lesley 😭😭😭😭😭😭
RIP Tiny and Tim.
This was beautiful. I love your videos. I just started birding after volunteering at a bird rescue. Now I just love the birds in my back yard. Thank you for sharing Tiny and Tim’s story 💕
Chickadees are some of my favorite little birds. Your footage is fascinating. I love their happy little sounds and industrious nature’s.
I can't believe I just found you! I see these birds at my feeder everyday. And I knew they were chickadees I had no idea how they nested or anyting
I love my chickadees! They are plentiful here in Maine, and have built up a level of trust with me and my squirrels, and are easily hand fed.
I have a chickadee with a broken wing from a window strike, that I am keeping safe in a large bird cage till he can fly again. I had a finch with a broken wing, who I got the cage for, and it took about a month to heal. One day I was watching him and he flew across the cage, showing me he could fly now, so I let him go. So cute. So smart.
Oh Lesley your informative and beautifully filmed videos calm , and strengthen my resolve that better days are near. Thank you and our feathered friend's . 😃 ❤ 🐦
agreed I am also finding these so relaxing in these times.
@@acon4000 Definitely !! ☺
Thank you so much for always giving me a big 😄😁😃😄
Thank you! Your videos have been invaluable to me. A few weeks ago chickadee couple moved into the half-dead birch next to our cabin home in the Black Hills of SD. I really knew nothing about them other than their name. It's wonderful to learn about our new neighbors through your videos rather than just reading about them. I will share on FB!
Thanks for demonstrating the bird songs! I can recognize them around me now.
Thank you for sharing this chickadee video they are so darn cute
How sweet. I love to watch chickadees at my feeder and around my yard. So lucky to have them trust you and actually sit on you so close. Tiny and Tim were adorable, but of course, I was saddened at the end. TFS
Thank you for documenting these birds and your thoughts on their behavior. It helps me understand what they are saying/doing when the are in my backyard.
That is so precious! I love our Carolina Chickadees! And saw my first Hummingbird for the season! God love them all!
Great vid Nerd, amazing little birds for sure! 👍😃✌️
I call this bird the “you who” bird because to me, that is what it sounds like it is saying. The sound of this bird make my heart melt
The rain sounds and bird song starting at 3:58 is heavenly. So soothing. I could listen to it all day. Thanks again for a great video Lesley.
You gave me an idea! Also @Leslie:
Years ago I had a tape called "Night in a Southern Swamp". Leslie just has to have hours of bird sounds- "Choir in a Northern Forest"??? I went to an illustration art school here in Atlanta, and I think that might make a nice DVD or 2!!! The front cover cvould be Tim or Tiny perched on her hand!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
You can get a rain sound app for your phone. With birds in the background.
Thank you.
I also enjoy the background sounds.
The trees blowing and the lite rain
They're very peaceful and relaxing videos and I'm enjoying
They are so precious!❤️
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video... I learned so much in a short time... and I am sorry for the loss of those sweet babies... I know they were very special to you ❤
Humans can learn a lot from these little guys! Thank you very much for the video. LG in Chicago.
thank you Leslie, your videos are beautiful and so enjoyable.
Thank you for this. I have tons of chickadees around my house. I am mourning because the matriarch of my blue Jay clan was gotten by a sharp shinned hawk this week...
I very much understand how you felt when you lost on of your beloved birds... It breaks my heart to see her partner looking lost... I am still lucky enough to have most of the 20 some Jays she had in the time I knew her. RIP my sweet Belle... Fly high.
Thank you Lesley for the great footage of my favorite feathered friend,you sure have the right voice and compassion for what you do and love
Chickadees are my favorite bird! I'm learning so much through your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your love and knowledge of these little angels on earth. 🐦❤️
Such lovely little creatures.. I love my chickadees so much... and they love me.. I think..lol
This was the most amazing video i have watched in a long time. Thank you so much for making and sharing this. Your voice is soothing and your love for sweet birds is obvious. Pleeeeeease make and share more videos!!!!!
So glad to see these here in Reno NV ....tho hardly ever! Love the sound and bravery near us humans! My birdnet app helps me identify all the migratory ones!! Big thx to lesley!!
My favorite birds. Big personalities in little packages.
Chickadees are one of my favorite birds. They frequent my feeders and nest in the woods behind me.
Thank you so much for your amazing videos, always a joy to watch, and very informative ! 🐤🐦🌷💗
Thanks Lesley! That was a wonderful video for Easter. Spring is the renewal of life. I appreciate your efforts.
Love it ,you r so dedicated to birds near you and such a beautiful videography and photography
My bird seed feeder here in San Diego attracts a lot of different local birds and they are singing,eating and teasing my young cats to no end.
Beautiful video as always. We have a pair of Carolina chickadees in our backyard that have turned a bluebird house into a chickadee house. The female has been incubating 6 eggs and I’m expecting hatching to occur sometime this week. We are so happy to have them!
Tim & Tiny!❤! Sweet presentation! Happy Easter Leslie!
Also sad😔❤😔.
Chickadee's, Mom's favorite bird.
Thank you for this charming video & sharing your knowledge with others!
You're videos make me feel better.
I'm an "outdoorsman" who really enjoys nature/wildlife. Realized I really need to learn more about NA songbirds, enjoy your videos.
Lovely photography -- and I love my little Carolina chickadees! Very similar. -- What treasured memories in those photos of you with Tiny and Tim!
Lynn Stillwell here in Georgia is the Carolina chick
I mean to say chickadees too
@@maryjoortiz5328 -- Right. I'm in Georgia.
I've always had a special affection for the black capped chickadees. They're very prevalent here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and I never tire of seeing or watching them. I'll have to remember the tip about pet fur for next spring.
almost teared up when the in memory of tiny and tim came up.but they lived long good lives. most live 2-3 years. so to see 5 years up there is good to see.
i have like 4-5 chestnut-backed chickadees that i feed here, over 20 dark eyed junkos, 5 scrub jays, 4 stellar jays, 2 crows, 2 american robins, 1 pileated woodpecker, and like 7-8 squirrels i feed. so nice to be able to feed and watch the wildlife. my fav is probably the chestnut-back chickadees since they will land on me.
I really enjoyed your video!
I always loved the chickadees.
Your calm, gentle voice is very enjoyable too!
Thank you.
