Befriending the Crows - Part 2: Getting Closer & New Behavior
In part 2 of befriending the crows we look at the developments in befriending the corvids around me (jackdaws, crows, and magpies). There is some interesting new behavior of the jackdaws, and both the crows and jackdaws dare to get closer. Befriending the corvids is done by feeding them on a semi-regular basis with peanuts and dog food. By now the birds recognize me and fly towards me whenever I'm outside.
Enjoy!

Making an Ecosystem in a Jar That Receives NO LIGHT
Переглядів 53 тис.14 днів тому
What happens when an ecosystem in a jar receives no light, and therefore experiences only darkness? Today we will find out, by making such an ecosystem in a jar. It will remain open, so it won't be a closed ecosystem or an ecosphere, because it needs contact with the outside air for oxygen exchange, as no plants or algae can live in a dark environment, which would otherwise produce oxygen. Enjo...

Six years ago I made this huge natural native saltwater ecosphere in a jar. It has had a lot of ups and downs, but to this day is still very successful. The ecosphere has housed crabs, starfish, spionid worms, gammarids and a lot more and is currently still housing a lot of crustaceans, paramecium, and other invertebrates and microbes. This seawater ecosystem has been a stable tiny world in a j...

Befriending the Crows - Part 1: First Contact
Переглядів 110 тис.Місяць тому
Befriending the crows, or actually all corvids (crows, jackdaws and magpies), is the goal of this video. In this video we look at the first contact: getting to know the corvids and them getting to know me, which is done by feeding them on a semi-regular basis. After the first contact they seem to recognize me and I got a little gift of a magpie. Enjoy! Merch: www.bonfire.com/lifeinjars bit.ly/3...
Six Years Ago I Made An Ecosystem In A Jar - This Happened
Переглядів 295 тис.2 місяці тому
In this video we take a look at the now six year old spring ecosphere. This closed aquatic ecosystem has seen many changes throughout its life, with different plants and animals appearing and disappearing. Now, in the six year update on this huge self sustaining ecosystem in a jar, we see that a previously extinct species has come back. Enjoy! Merch: www.bonfire.com/lifeinjars bit.ly/3v7Cu83...

3 year old DEAD mini ecosphere revival
At work every lunch break I take the Magpies have noticed. Fast forward a few months forward, I'm noticing individuals, and noticed they love cheese and beef (their favourites) and biscuits (all varieties). They now fly down and wait patiently about 3-4ft away from me whilst making some degree of dialogue towards me. Won't be long until they are right beside me I reckon. Persistence but patience definitely will reward you.
This video came up as a suggestion from UA-cam. It was facinating! Nature always amazes me in its survival ability. I look forward to watching your other videos. Thanks!
Oxygen levels?
gosh hes cute
This is a perfect example of how life has started and evolved on this planet. No gods were involved.
liked and subscribed.. keep up the good work!
No matter how many of these I make, the only one that will sustain life, is one made from fresh rain water, and dirt. The water almost completely covered the dirt. But there was room for a rolly polly to live with a snail, and they didn't need the lid ever taken off. Every jar that I make without a good ammount of standing water, both the plants and animals all die within hours. Phytoplankton are responsible for the o2 on earth, mostly, not plants... and they get life from the water, so water is life.
Great video 📷📸
RIP crusty.

Who else wants to put an immersion blender in that thing
please ALWAYS continue this series.
this is one of the coolest videos I have seen in a long time
And they said fukin psychopaths don't have Hobby's. 🤨
I hate when people do things like this to living creatures. Disgusting
Absolutely fascinating. A good example of what goes on that we don’t usually see. I’d like to see a similar view of what goes on in soil. If this was introduced to children in primary school, as well as later on, maybe it would influence how they treat the world around them - unlike how we’ve treated the planet over the last 200+ years.
Bad feedback in your oitdoor mic in the intro, needed more volume
Me 3 hours before i need to wake up: yeah lets watch it all
Looks a lot like the Danish fjords i almost lifeless
maybe try putting the trail cam on the table or railing!!! ❤ Best of luck
But… WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STARFISH?! 😥 Also, at the beginning of the paramecium part, one paramecium chomped on another paramecium’s butt lol
2:50 hes just acting like you 😂
Corvids are such fun critters. A few trimes a week I hike around a nearby lake and initially I just brought one pack of unshelled peanuts with me, and that would be plenty to feed some of the crows that would show up along the way. It didn't take long for more and more crows to show up. They recognize my car when I park it, and as soon as I get outm they sit there waiting on a nearby lammpost or in a tree. Even a pheasant recognizes me now, and as soon as he sees me, he runs towards me and wants his peanuts. very a-typical for pheasants, as they are usually really shy. I haven't really tried too hard to get them to feed from my hand. It seems like a big step for them, and crows especially are skittish. i've made it habit to place peanuts in paticular spots consistently, and now they usually sit there waiting for me to arrive there during my hike. Anyway they really are fun birds. I've got about 6 magpies following me as well, and the lastest addition is a Jay (Vlaamse Gaai) which resides in a foresty part of my treck. I was surprised to see him landing right at my feet to snatch some peanuts.. quite odd for such a shy bird!
Sounds like leonard nemoy in seaman when you kill them.
Trees in the deck background are looking great, late springtime is the best
I know that you can't exactly doing anything about this but, you most likely notice that when they land on your balcony railings, they are a bit clumsy with their footing. They can't get a good grip on the metal, which is kind of like if you where to suddenly go from running on solid ground, to running on thick ice, no grip! It's unlikely that you can do anything about this (apartment building), but, if you found a way to set something up so that they would be able to grab onto the rail when they land, they would most likely appreciate it! It could even be something as simple as draping a towel (one you don't care about of course) over the railing when you interact with them, it could take them a bit to actually try it, as well, sudden change in environment, and you would have the risk of them accidentally knocking it off your balcony! I find the crows near my home seem a lot more trusting and curious when landing on the wooden balcony rails, but often seem anxious and stressed when faced with a surface that they can't grab onto, which makes sense, as they would be constantly worried about making sure they don't lose their grip on the surface. I too would be rather stressed if I was standing on something and having to be careful with my every move, less I lose my balance and fall on my face. On another note, if they ever bring you something, reward it! Give them something extra, we usually give them raw peanuts, but when one does something that we want to reward, we give them some of liver treats that we have for our cats, that way they come to the conclusion of 'I do this, I get a tastier treat'. But don't do it too much! I will say that corvids are very much capable of becoming greedy and demanding, so make it clear that they would only get the treat if they performed the action, (and probably get a max of 1-2 per day). We had a pair that decided to protest this by yelling at us, through the window, we would put out the peanuts, and they would ignore them. Eventually they got the idea and took the peanuts. Good luck with them! :)
"I want to see how far away I have to get before these trees want the peanuts" wait a minute
you had it in the window, did it get to hot?
You didnt say what happened to the poor star fish. I hope you saved it 😢
I love the way the micro organisms just bump around each other like it’s no deal
Who knows perhaps someone is watching us as though the lens of our atmosphere as we watch this microcosmic world!
Alien...What Happened to That Latte I Left on Earth?... Billions Years Ago..
I went back and checked again, but either I missed it AGAIN or it wasn’t mentioned at all. The starfish… What happened to that? Did you take it back to the sea or did it die very early? Please clarify!!! And one more question, what are you filming it with? Because this is real macro, right? Like needing a macro lens plus maybe extension tubes, maybe some crazy set-up like a backwards lens etc? ☺️ Thanks a lot and thanks for a great video!!!🤗❤❤❤
I'm very interested too see how this all turns out. Good stuff! ❤
Do you often dress as a ted or just for the crows?
You should repeat this, but with a rotary motor constantly spinning the water
sooo u jar things up & watch them suffer...? cool 🤔
If they are like American crows they’re probably going to get loud at times. Sometimes the ones here can get out of hand. They’ll call for you and each other. I don’t leave food out but I feed when they show up. Except when they come in hot as I call it. They come in fast about 3 of them calling. I try not to encourage that. Haha They really love meat, raw or cooked but I don’t give them anything processed or salted. And if you soak shelled peanuts in chicken broth it’s another thing they like a lot. The fattier the better. If I give them eggs for example they go for the yolks first, chicken, they go for they dark meat. They love raw chicken skin by the way. Hehe
It died because you abandoned it.
This makes me want to dye my hair the colors of a magpie
👍👍👍
Your neighbours are going to hate you for all the noise :D
I have been working with crows in the morning - they are now more responsive and show up in the same area waiting for treats ... these crows are big, too. American crows in Texas? I feed them as I drive by on bicycle and they are usually perched on a fence on my route ... I get a tingle to see these guys - they really are big birds.
So much better to feed seeds/nuts to birds that white bread! Nice video, cheers
Man this was alot of fun. Don't know how to explain it, but all the parts worked well together.

Fantastic video, thanks for following up! I enjoyed the video when you first released it and was pleasantly surprised to see this today all these years later
That was funny
