    Love, love, love your birdhouses… funny that this year I am replacing my old semi rotting ones that need to be exchanged for new. I had to buy mine already made as I’m almost 80 & wouldn’t attempt making them myself any longer. I live in the northeast USA (state of Vermont), so I have a yard full of tufted titmouse birds, chickadees, nuthatches, wrens, robins, bluejays & cardinals. Was happy to hear that we share the same species & live so far from each other. Enjoyed every minute of this video. Each one you do enriches my life in one way or another. So, thank you…always.

    Sorry this is long, but, i can't help myself, you's are still the sweetest family i watch on yt. He melts my heart, every time. Loved the skiing times, reminded me of 20 yrs ago, when i skied with my 2 small grand children. Awww, when daddy gave him a pile of snow, for his machine to move !! too cute. Brilliant idea, making those bird houses with long boards & cut them into the many you wanted to build, genius . & the bottom like a flap so you can clean it out. 10 yrs, better late than never, i always say ! Tnx for the close up of screwing it to the tree, i was wondering how to do that. tfs xoxo

    Your wintertime is really long, but so nice! In Germany we have temperatures of summer in May ( sometimes). I like so much your creativity and engagenent for your child. Ivar is a wonderfull boy! It's so sweet, to hear / read bis comments. Climbing wall and birdshouses are amazing projects. Ivar learns to live with nature and his little life is full of joy and love of his parents! That impresses me !❤

    My favorite moment is when Ivar realized he was being filmed, he looked at the camera and smiled, O... that was so adorable!! Also when he was learning how to skip, that was beautiful, good dad. Ivar is growing up, he put a smile on my face, every time I see him. Thanks for the video.

      Do you all never have wildlife other than song birds? I'm 75 and we never had whitetail deer, black bears, turkeys in our area until about 8 years ago. Now we see them daily. With you living with forest all around I would think you might have to be cautious like us!

    Thank you! I can now understand about half of what Ivar is saying :) He has a wonderful imagination and an inquisitive mind. Is he still reading about Pettson and Findus? I love how you make winter fun up north. We tend to stay inside and wait for warmer weather, but of course that’s not an option when snow lingers until June. Fingers crossed for the seeds in the greenhouse! Wonderful drone shots, Matthias, as ever :)

  • @angelheart6457

    I love your videos and the way you all embrace the nature. One thought I would like to share about the birds, is that besides the forestry destroying the natural habitats, the birds also have prey that they need to be protected from, which again is natural and the way of life. But your cats are also hunting them and giving them more reason to flee. Here in Australia, it is becoming more important to make laws for people to keep their domestic cats inside, so we can protect our wildlife. The domestic cats kill many small animals and sadly have been the reason some of our native animals are endangered. I am not suggesting that you keep your cats inside, as they are very used to being outside. But be wary of their hunting habits maybe.
    Thank you for sharing your wonderful life with us.

  • @gillbennett9784
    @gillbennett9784 Год назад +8

    Another great film. Ivar is so entertaining. You are right the birds that climb are nuthatches.
    We have bats that roost in the roof of our house. It is a nursery roost so only mothers and babies and they are only there in the summer months arriving in March and leaving September/October depending on the weather. It is wonderful to go out at dusk and watch them flying out to feed. They can be quite noisy in the roof space above our bed with lots of chittering once the babies arrive but it has become one of the sounds of summer for us along with the birdsong. ❤

    Wonderful video as always. There is a bird in US called a Nuthatch. I enjoy watching all the different birds and listening to their songs. Best wishes on the plants in the greenhouse. It can be so frustrating hardening off the plants. I hope this works for you. 😊

    What a lovely video yet again. We got to see such a variety of aspects of your life, some of which I recognised and identified with. To see you Tova relish your alone time. I remember it well. What a joy to not have to think about anybody but yourself. Even for just a short while. And then the fulness and liveliness of the boys' return and the birdhouse project. I could see how satisfying it was for you both to finally have done it. I hope the birds will come again and again. The climbing wall, also a fun experiment. So good to see you as a parent Mathias. Your deep thoughtfulness. I am so impressed with both of you as parents. Ivar is a gorgeous little boy. I do not for a moment think you situation and life is perfect. That is just not possible, as I well know. But, I can see, by looking at you, how you experience moments so beautiful that, rather than the unobtainable idea of perfection, must feel like the very best of life. I wish you well and send you gratitude for letting us enjoy with you. Love from The Netherlands

    What a bonus seeing the herd of reindeer, thanks for sharing!
    Two good ideas I’m going to steal, getting a climbing wall for my Grandkids and building birdhouses with them! Excellent ideas.
    Ivar is very lucky, he will have a video diary of his life…that is amazing!❤

    Hi there! Nice to hear from you and your family again!
    Can't wait for the next one!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
    Evar is talking a lot now...really a chatter box😂.
    He is growing so fast.
    It's awesome to see the birds housing. Very good idea to help the birds. Bird watching cameras are very, very expensive in our country😮, but you will find something that you can buy.
    When are you going to Finnish up your home.
    Why not just extend the house that you live in now. Adding 2 bedrooms and a toilet area. Then you can make the kitchen and eating area bigger. And a big stoop, like a living room where you put plants, books, a small table with big windows to invite the sun.
    Just an idea😉😉.
    Have a nice week. Keep save and sound

    The best thing about your video which appealed to me, was your love of the existence of small birds. I find that in my life one thing I never tire of is watching small birds, just living about, jumping branch to branch, so alive, and listening their songs. As you said their songs is one of the most important things in life, and that I truly believe. In light of this, I offer you a genuine serious reverence, and I thank you for sharing your kind and nature loving thoughts.

    I love seeing you all spend time together as a family. I miss those days when my kids were young! We used to go on a lot of family picnics year round here in Australia and play French Cricket after eating our food. We used to also camp along the coastline and would either walk along the sand or go body sufing or swimming, depending on the time of year. Often we would take our bikes too. Bushwalking is great here in the Blue Mountains where we live. Fun times!

    Where I live we put up houses for the birds too, for the same reason as where you live - poor management of the forest. We don't have so many trees because I live in the desert, near our southern border with Mexico. We have the big saguaro cactus and this functions as our large trees. The woodpeckers make the holes, and other birds use them. It is kind of you to think of what the birds need too. Ivar has so much to say these days. He is at a wonderful age and I can see he has much imagination. It's good he lives there with you guys, in the woods. It's the best way to grow up.

    As always a magnificent video. I loved these precious moments when Ivar is with family with beautiful music and reindeer, skiing with the cat, etc. So nice Mathias and Ivar could spend more time with Finnish family and it was a real joy to be with beautiful Tova a little more for gardening. Your bird houses are gorgeous and you make many beings happy! Ivar... more adorable than ever. I loved learning more about bird habits. Woohoo climbing fun for Ivar!! Gratitude for this wonderful video 💙🙏😊
