I have no idea why this showed up on my feed but I'm over the moon it did. Thank you David, because your art is so inspiring. I'm going to send it to my daughter who loves sculptural art and loves being in the woods. Seems perfect for her! She used to make little people out of corks.

This niche art form requires so many completely different skills. Modeling, nature photography, storytelling, and patience. I'm totally blown away, I want a Becorn calander.
I would add musically skilled.
A camera is a fantastic gateway tool that leads you into other worlds that you might never have envisaged in your wildest dreams.
You look through the viewfinder and next minute your sewing, carving, welding, soldering, crafting, constructing, recording, mixing Chemicals, referencing, and often researching and composing, and editing, and sometimes you'll cut your breathing. They can be huge time consumers so you never get to watch a TV, and whole days can disappear as well as the night. You can make a living from them, hide behind them, and get in trouble with them. A change of lens or a filter or a case, can open up other worlds that you've never seen, and wouldn't see without the camera and lens. First buy a camera and see what you see. I don't think there is any other tool that can lead to so many other interests.
I second that!
I WANT A BECORN CALENDAR OMGGGGGG
Gotta have that perfectionist personality a little bit.
I really like how the birds are like “ ummm excuse me? “ when you raise the jelly pulley up.
😊
The sick world we live in needs more poets, storytellers, artists and nature lovers like you !
What you do is beautiful !
100%
If only we could keep paying the bills
This man is the one who is sick!
Exactly 💯
Poems, stories and art cannot feed, clothe and house 8 billion people. If we wanted a nicer planet, we should have stopped at 5 billion.
Too fantastic, too sweet, too inspiring, too emotional....too...... just too much. You and your colleagues Becorns are just amazing and you brighten up my day. I thank you with all my heart for what you do and what you are. Best of the best to the great Artist you are... from Tuscany
Such a great work. How are you doing?
I am doing very similar work with my ' lab mice' .
They are free range and in exchange for me not making them suffer through pain and agony ..... They point out ( in very creative ways) how to find treatments and cures for many diseases that otherwise would be hard to deal with .
god..
Wow not much blows your mind. ......merican?
DITTO!! ❤️❤️❤️
For the first time after so many-many years I felt again the vibes from my childhood - when you see something so beautiful, interesting and kind, that you drop your jaw and can't stop smiling. Simple joy of a kid - that what your video gave me today. Thank you, dear sir.
Absolutely, this is exactly what I experienced! A video showed up out of nowhere first thing this morning and I was smiling and laughing with so much joy in my heart; David is a genius and a heart healer, so needed in the world right now❤
Becorns are lovely little people, but may I also say "so are you". Your narration, your drawings, your story lines, your patience, INCREDIBLE AND BEAUTIFUL AND CALMING, long live your Becorns.
You must have mental issues and only the LORD God of Hosts can help you.
The birds either hanging on to the jelly dumbwaiter or just looking at it with confusion and contempt as their snack is pulleyed away from them is pretty darn funny! What a holiday treat to have a new Becorn video upload!!! Thanks for these sweet and amusing videos!
I love that there is a back story to every becorn interaction, and I especially love how invested you are with each picture. They are ALL wonderful encapsulations of a precious unique moment. I have had your calendar now for the last two years. And some cards, too. THANK YOU!
When I purchased greeting cards online from David, he included in my order a personal, hand-written note on a cute acorn-shaped card he had designed, so touching. And my sons, not known for their aesthetic sensitivities, admired David's Becorn people because, like the Lego people he used to design, they were unique, expressive and fun! Three cheers!
Awwww how sweet
This is so peaceful…
PBS-Esque. I love the little acorn figures. Made so meticulously. The birds are so funny to watch. All of the different strategies that they use to access the food. Thank you so much for this heartwarming video! 😊
OMG! The childrens' STORIES that can be written, using these various pix of your Becorns & Birds! Awesome ideas are already churning in my mind! I love your "little people" Becorns (& how they love interacting with birds!
I would love to see a stop motion animated short/film of the becorns. The designs and photo compositions each tell a story that I'd be very invested in.
With the soundtrack consisting of cowbells, acoustic guitars and the classic piano. *Woodblocks too
Yeah, thought that immediately as well but minus the “pharmaceutical” soundtrack!
Pinocchio is the closest we get to something like that.
Looks like TH-cam is randomly suggesting your video to a lot of people, including me, and all I can say is I'm speechless. This was truly fascinating, calming, magical, you name it. It also reminded me of this book I read as a child about a little becorn guy who traveled around the forest and discovered how things worked and made many friends among its inhabitants.
Thank you so much for sharing your art with us.
The TH-cam algorithm is getting more interesting the last couple of weeks - ti suggests a wider range of stuff - and this is a great example.
I love your videos but you NEED to make more videos
David, I am tickled that I found you and your art work/creations. Thank you for sharing the joy!
Just wanted to say, I was having a really crappy day, just wanted to sleep, but ended up watching this and it majorly boosted me. Your work to get these amazing photos with your Beecorn creations is so pure and uplifting, and the combination of art, nature, photography, storytelling, and even architecture that goes into your videos is so cool!
With each photo this man takes, he builds his world, bird tamers, mice warriors, the battle against the squirrels. It's simply lovely how dynamic each of these photos are and what stories they tell.
This video just randomly shows up in my feed and now I'm in love. This guys is so talented creating those Becorns, taking a shot of these beautiful moments, and even making his own soundtrack/background music. All about this channel is so calming and pleasing.
Hi David! I received my 2023 Becorns calendar last week. It is so awesome! Your Becorns are the sweetest little woodland creatures. I can’t wait to see how next spring’s Oriole project goes!
There is a calendar? I need this in my life!
What a great adaptation to storytelling :) The apprentice made a huge difference. Can't wait for next year's looking up pose!
This whole series is the definition of wholesome
In these very trying times, your Becorns and their stories lighten my heart. Thank you.
Your art is not only sweet and heartwarming, but you are highly skilled 😮😊😻
What a great way to interact with the bird world. I love your little acorn people and action drawings! Birds are such shy creatures, and it takes so long to gain their respect and trust. Super Sweet and Genius!
Absolutely magical. I have no idea why this was randomly suggested by the algorithm, but I was having a bit of a depressive dissociative episode the calm majesty of this really grounded me. Your work is phenomenal. Thank you x
I literally have cried the sweetest tears over this. This is exactly what my Spirit needed in such a dark world right now. Thank you so much for a wholesome and incredible work you do.
Same here ❤
It's the same world it's always been. You're also less likely to die randomly nowadays. Turn off your social media, and embrace life prior to connectivity.
^^ am i reading that right??
Your little acorn people are so sweet! I love the whimsey, the birds and your sense of humor - Thank you so much!
I absolutely love Becorns! I could watch this video over and over - wait - I already do. Their amazing expressions, your process of making them, the photography, the sweetness, your friendly voice - all are completely enchanting. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
TH-cam sent me this video. I have never been happier or more fascinated. Your voice, your way of telling the story and of course the animals too. The Becorns steal the show for me. This has really reinforced for me bthat there is still so much good and beauty in this world. Wholesome and education while also being downright fascinating and intriguing too. You really have something here. Thank you so much for sharing all that you have. I LOVE THIS!
Why in the world does this Gentleman only have 107 thousand subscribers when he should have 107 million...great work, inspirational.
Because of this comment, there is thousands more people that subscribed
Gentlemen ? Did you seriously just assume this person's gender? He obviously doesn't identify as male by his speech.
@@JqQn-z2b And you know this how?
Edit: you are most welcome to be what you want to be. However, you will not force me to accept your way of thinking. The creator of B Corns is a man and as a man I will treat him, whether he likes it or not.
@@JqQn-z2bI have replied to you but boob tube may have deleted it. So, with that, I will say this...the creator of B Corns is a male, therefore a man and I will treat him as a man regardless of if he likes it or not.
@@devildogcrewchief3335no, you can't do that. It's politically incorrect. People can CHOOSE their gender now. It's the LAW! This person has clearly chosen their gender, and it isn't male, you bigot.
He makes these amazing pieces of art, AND he writes music?! ❤
Giving off some ConcernedApe vibes.
And he looks like a Chad. Some people are just built different.
@@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy no he doesnt?
@@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy What does that even mean?
And his name is David Bird!
You’re a fantastic artist, engineer, musician, storyteller and a photographer all rolled into one! Truly a rockstar, I’m so glad I found this channel!
Agree 😊
Does he make the music?
Can't miss the fact that his voice is thee most amazing voice that could be paired with his art!
^This^
I am absolutely captivated by your posts. Your “work” is straight out of a whimsical fairytale wonderland. SO beautiful ♥️
This is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. This man is so creative and sweet. I'm sure his wife is very happy.
I saw the toys and thought what a great dad he would be. 😊
th-cam.com/video/JwJr9Rniofc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Fennex
Or husband
@Choas_Lord_512 Who knows! But you’re right, we have absolutely no reason to believe he isn’t straight
@@scientificallyaccuratespino nor is there any reason to think he isn't! 😂 All that really matters is how amazing his art is. But it helps he is cute as hell! 😍😄
Dude… these are incredible!! I’ve been making little Robots like this because I was inspired by you! Keep it up, man. Keep using this gift.
Would have loved to have bought some of the postcards, but £20 just for the shipping of 5 postcards is just too much. Really great video though.
Oh my goodness I loooove the stories!!! It’s sweet that I literally get pulled closer to the screen to watch and listen!! Thank you so very much for warming heartwarming videos ❤️❤️❤️
Orioles are so hard to get a good shot of. Your talent seems limitless, you created the most adorable Becorns, you draw fantasticly, you have such a delightful imagination AND you create music, I’m in awe!
As someone who loves art, storytelling and nature I find this all very fascinating and inspiring! The photos you create are incredible, too !
I’m hooked. As someone who writes children’s books as a hobby, I find this delightful and mesmerizing. I hope this work continues to bless you and those who watch!
ooh what books have you written ?
Right? I can totally see these delightful little nature spirits in a stop-motion animation short. A charming little tale of life, death, and rebirth.
I’d love to write and illustrate my own but I have no ideas 😂
I was thinking this could somehow be made into such an adorable children’s book. Like pictures, maybe some words for the story, shots without birds but just the characters where they aren’t as necessary… it would be so adorable. Even as an adult honestly I’d buy a book of that.
I love the way you speak so happily and eagerly about the birds. It makes me so happy to know that someone else loves nature just as much as I do. Please keep making your becorn friends! I love them so much
You can't love anything that doesn't exist. Why are you so destined to delusion?
@@severiusbrandusa1413 🤨??
@@severiusbrandusa1413 why be an asshole?
Miniatures are so endearing for many reasons. Yours are whimsical and have so much thought that goes into making them. I smile the whole time I watch this. Perfect way to unwind at the end of the day! You are so multi-talented!
I can't believe TH-cam finally suggested me something great. Subscribed immediately, as an artist and amateur wildlife photographer, I can not wait for more videos from you
Everything about this is just sooooo sooothing to me. (his voice included.) It’s warm. Comforting. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Don’t know how i ended up here either but i’m going to be watching from now on 🥰
You're a Great Spiritual Treasure. Thank you, David 🌻🌺❤️🌺🌻
I love the Becorns and their names and the stories .. Have you thought of a children's book using your photographs or your drawings or a mix of both? You could have a little Becorn family or a village. I love the use of natural things for their construction , the simple beauty of nature. It could be a great thing to introduce children to and to foster an appreciation for nature, you could even make it educational , including information about specific birds or flowers or trees. The videos are delightful !
OMG the best idea! Maybe write him directly and tell him. This coming from an elementary school teacher of 20 years.
Good idea
Your videos make me happy. Your creativity and gentle spirit are delightful. Your dear and precious Becorns are a welcome alternative to the noise and chaos of society. I'm glad you're on the planet.
Very peaceful, i wish the world is filled up with more of this kind of content. Beautiful, peaceful and truly inspiring
This warmed my heart. You’ve got such a great passion for art and photography and express it in such a unique way.
🥹 So peaceful and beautiful scene.. l’m so glad to know an artist like you!
The way you talk is so calming. It always eases my soul to watch people do unusual things they’re passionate about. I’m so glad I found this channel!!! ♥️
David, your creativity and your gentle spirit bless me. I'm going through hard times these days but your videos bring peace to my heart. Thank you so much for what you do and please keep on doing it! I have shared your videos with many friends.
Finding this channel has made my year. Love it! ❤❤❤❤
Mine too!!
Im so glad this channel popped up on my suggestion feed. Birds are my obsession. I spend every free moment either watching in real life or watching on livestreams. Im glad ive found a new channel and more Bird people to fellowship with. ❤️
I love these, so calming! It's fun to see the world from the Becorns' perspective.
This warms every millimeter of my heart. Thank you for sharing these gifts you have with the rest of us.
My daughter and I enjoy your videos so much! Your creativity and sweet nature is such a joy.
So inspiring and wholesome and cozy! The Becorns and birds are so cute, and the tone you have while narrating is so calm and relaxing! All of the artistry that goes into making your shots line up, catching the photo, observing the birds, and of course, bringing the little Becorns to life is so satisfying to watch come together.
Makes me wanna go out on a nature adventure too! 🦜🐿🪶🪵🍂🍁 🌰
💯
I'm so excited that your creative work showed up on my TH-cam, I was on holiday in France and walking my dogs each day I walked over thousands and thousands of acorns and said to my Dutch friend I wish there was something I could think of to do with these lovely little things, and you have, and I absolutely adore your Becorns. Fabulous work.
these are lovely- thank you for making Becorns and then sharing them. Love to see your process and how you and the Becorns adapt to the situation.
I have a smile on my face because of your incredible imagination. When I was a very small child I built haciendas. Mini match boxes were molds for the adobes. In those days there were horney toads galore and their little babies about the size of a pencil eraser could be rounded up into the Pueblo. The best part was watching them make their way out and back to momma! Thank you for taking me on your tour!
All along the video I was thinking: "damn, these tunes are so chill and great, who did he hire??". And bam, it was you all along. I really love all the work you're doing with your lil becorns and all those great birbs :3
I absolutely love seeing the process you have shown us. It's so interesting to see the art, craftsmanship, inovativation, discoveries, photography, composition and intent. The whole thing is so organic. I am amused and impressed. Also a little envious. I also appreciate observing bird behavior. Very interesting. Wow. Just love it all. Thank you so much!
I love the intersection of creativity, art, natural science, physics, psychology, nature crafting, and storytelling all in one! ❤😊
Wow what a feel good video. I could listen and watch a full length feature film of these characters! 🙌🥰 well done and thank you!
If only you could 3d model these guys and bring them to life through animation too! This is so creative and it's enjoyable to watch the whole process! Becorns!!!!
The work you do is indescribable. As an artist myself, I hope to one day aspire to something as important and wonderful as the Becorns.
Please please please TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT this if you haven’t already. This is absolutely genius. My mom and I have watched the others then you didn’t post for a while. This is a million dollar idea. The story, the characters, kids would love it, and adults!!! You can eventually create an animated series, I love the live action, we all do. But animated would be good also. Easy for kids to view it at home and understand and enjoy the stories! Your voice is great too, you could narrate the whole thing. It’s perfect. Eventually develop a toy/figure line. You are a multi millionaire you just don’t know it yet.
He could do stop motion animation
absolutely! this is incredibly creative and a lot of people would love it, he should trademark/copyright this
Or just enjoy your hobby and don't let chasing after money ruin it.
@@peacockpie5368 enjoy the hobby…and why not make money while you do it??? He can do a lot of good things.
I want to see this in a video game. I think its the characters and their size in relation to animals in such beautiful environments that REALLY hooks me. great stuff
I hope you always keep this precious and wholesome view into wildlife for your fans ❤ it truly brightens my day to see an appearance from the Becorns and the other subjects of the story
My life is happier because of you, David. I love to watch your creative process.
Thank you for the creativity, care, and love you put into this video. It is wonderful to see a creator who so obviously enjoys what they do! 🙂
I love your little Becorns!!!!!!! Just watching your videos the little creatures bring a smile to my face......thank you!
FABULOUS! Amazing combination of art, craft, poetry, photography and ornithology.Thoroughly enjoyed watching and am in love with Becorns and in awe of their creator.
I just discovered your channel. Bless you for your creativity, humor, kindness and artistic skills! Our world needs more of your influence. From a viewer who feeds the birds (and squirrels and hedgehogs) in France
David M. Bird you have got to be the most gentle man I have ever encountered. Thank you for sharing your creativity and patience.
I love these! Please keep sharing these videos. These have really helped me through a very emotional day. I'm so glad you shared your talent with me 🥰
I love these little beings so much!!! Thank you for so much rich pure tear inducing heart touching JOY!!!( Your heart shines right through!!)
I’m so happy to see a new video from you! Your sweet little Becorns are my favorite corner of TH-cam 🥰
Love it ! You can never have too many Becorns in your life.... I love Burkie and his apprentice....oh heck...I love them all ! A little splash of happiness in this twisted confused world...thanks for sharing your creations ! ❤
Your art makes me nostalgic, it's hard to describe. As a kid I would create all sorts of things from stuff we found outside plus I pretty much grew up on things created by a local indie game studio - Amanita Design. What I found out about just recently is that they also worked on the movie named Kooky. (Kuky se vrací) It's got amazing character design and I recommend checking that out. I absolutely adore when people use nature in their creations in any form. I haven't even mentioned the care and effort you put in your art, it makes it feel so special. Watching these videos is so comfortable, like cuddling up in a warm blanket. Gotta appreciate the little things. (literally :D)
Something I love about the becorns is that the storytelling isn’t to in depth, or too reliant on the consumer’s imagination. It’s the perfect mix of implicit and explicit storytelling of the scenes. The videos are always really nice to watch, and it’s super cool to see how you make these pieces. Really inspiring!
as an illustrator, I am so enamored and happy to have gotten this on my feed! such an ingenious way of being creative. you have a well-deserved subscriber!!!
Like so many artists, you start out with a goal or vision and as you keep working it develops into something else, usually much better! Thanks for all of your efforts and creativity! I hope you never stop sharing with us!
Finally a recommended video that is wholesome and not a video about a bunch of pranks. Such a cute video & super inspirational.
omg The whole behind the scenes and idea sketches combined with the result was absolutely amazing to watch🥹🫶 They are so adorable. Can’t wait to watch the next episode !
I love your Becorns....so precious. Agree with the guy who suggested a calendar. I want one!
Thank you for these little creations. They bring so much happiness and light and I'm so glad I've found your work! ♥
What a gentle spirit. I love your work. I'm grateful you were suggested by TH-cam. You have a new fan.
Thank you so much for sharing your process so freely. It has been so inspiring to see what you do and to see your patience and persistence. Your sharing is the answer to selfishness and greed in the world.
As wonderful as the videos are, so are the pictures. Please don't stop making this videos and I pray that you sell a lot of printings to support your just amazing work.
Thank-you so much for sharing your talents and stories with a bunch of internet strangers!
Reading the title of this video, I'd thought it would be an educational video about a group of birds called the becorns, which included orioles and catbirds. I was charmingly surprised to find this well of creativity, passion, and love for the natural world. Thank you for bringing this art into the world, it matters.
My favorite part is the fact that their expression changes with the situation. they go from :D to D:
I'm so happy to see that you are still creating your Becorns. It's such a great concept. Every once in a while I will check your website for new posts.
All that little details and hard work put into this. It's so beautiful. And I'm so glad that you have a love for birds 😊
Thank you for making these videos. I love your storytelling and unending creativity to set up a story and accompanying environment in a natural yet full of whimsy. I appreciate your passion and commitment to storytelling. Absolutely beautiful and somehow fills me with joy and hope.
Absolutely gorgeous! Your characters remind me of our Australian 'Gumnut Babies' - stories from the early 20th century. Well done David, a splash of light, happiness and inspiration is what we all need more of.
I love the extent of fabricating contraptions that went into capturing these photos rather than just relying on photoshop. Just wonderful!
This has made my day, lol. Loved your storytelling and whole setup but clearly the birds had other plans. They are so clever. Thanks for sharing and are waiting for your next video.
Thank you so much for every single one of these videos! I love watching birds, and your becorns are incredible creations! I need a whole tv series about these guys ❤
I find myself with a huge smile on my face every time I watch your videos. I just love your ideas and patience and talent. Can't wait for another calendar
