    Dear @journey please release the copyright claim to my video. I am not stealing your fine song.
    I am celebrating it because I love it and you are awesome! (And, I only used 16 seconds of it.)
    Please Please Please....Don't make me Stop Believin'. Your biggest Wisconsin fan, Ted 🤘

      @Ted's Holdover What? Isn't 10 seconds "fair use". Oh my, who gets in trouble for going 6 seconds too long? Who ever gets in trouble for 6 lousy seconds!! No one I now of...... oh wait my brother did that one time. That's right and he had to name her 9 months later. But they did get married 10 years later!! Come on JOURNEY give the guy a Break!!!! He didn't do that!

    It’s not Journey who would claim the video. They’d probably be perfectly fine with anyone using it. It’s the greedy, scummy record labels who will jump on any opportunity to shaft someone and steal from them. Anyways thanks for the content as I know you only do this for fun. I’ve watched your pest control videos for years and I’m always glad to see more . Have a good day

    True story: I was diagnosed with a serious condition several years ago. I was in bed for a long time. To kill the long hours of just lying down not doing much, I started watching TH-cam videos. One thing leading to another, I found your channel. You helped me cope with everything. Then you almost stopped uploading videos. Somehow, now that I am feeling much better, I stumbled on your channel once more. Your videos are an absolute delight.
    Please keep them coming. I am tired of a lot of mediocrity on TH-cam.
    Thanks!

  • @BobLewen
    @BobLewen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Ted, you spent lots of time on talking to "the land owner" and the sparrows so you have an understanding of their lives during these Covid days....your editing and script shows that they helped you make this video....simply fantastic!!!!! (with 5 exclamation points).

  • @davidschmidt6013
    @davidschmidt6013 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Aside from the shooting, I enjoy listening to you ID the various birds and other wildlife. I remember you mentioning an a vid some years ago that your degree is in Biology, and it really shows. I saw this 'incident' in your video about 'Defending my tree swallows' but this one was cool. The horse-race dialogue while the ducks were running was great, but the bit of the guy washing his car only to see the giant pigeon was hilarious!!
    Thanks for posting another enjoyable video.

    Thanks for the tip on the two screws. I just picked up a mark 3 and looking forward to shooting it. My first PCP and chosen due to many of your videos. This is a huge upgrade from my Crossman 400 repeater. Nothing wrong with it and for an old CO2 gun going on 60 years. Still can make 1 jagged hole at 30 yards. It’s just a bit small and I lost the scope mount for it. Again looking forward to shooting this new rifle. Thanks for the tips.

    Ted, easy on down playing the hawks! Red Tails are not lumbering giants of the sky. In fact, when you see them soaring, they are just chilling out after filling their crop. I'm a falconer, and you want to try some cool shit, falconry is where it's at! Watching a Red Tail jump off a branch, wing over, and then stoop in and slam a rabbit, is heart pounding. Love it!

    Found this little dittie on the interweb. Perfect for this sparrow story!
    "I was smoking a joint the other day...
    A sparrow came up, and asked for a hit, so I handed it to him. Pretty soon an eagle came up, and wanted to smoke too. I had a clever idea... I took the joint, put it out, cut a notch in the center, and lit the center. Now, the eagle and the sparrow could smoke at the same time, one from each end.
    And that's how I got two birds stoned with one joint."
