Sorry to burst yalls bubble but you dont just go to heaven by doing good or whatnot only by asking jesus for forgiveness of your sins and living a more holy life
Yea well so can you if you take care of your health and align with the laws of nature. Being immobilized and in poor health by 70 as is increasingly common is not normal or natural, we are designed to have good health even in our old age.
trifecta t:My brother-in-law’s dad lived till his mid 80s only.He always kept busy fixings small thing around the house but he had bad habits as was drinking exedrin pills and washing them with coca~cola like if was all candy.Wifey is pretty sure that it affected his heart
Dear Birdman of Idaho, you make this old world of ours smile and I’ll not forget this story every night when lights go out and I need hope to snuggle in with me.
M R hey it’s easy to misinterpret, or maybe you’re spot on. But... what if ehh? 👽 what if bacteria and viruses were a form of poplulation control for humans? Especially since people with unhealthy habits and or weaker immune systems are more prone to disease. Everyone thinks we have to have a predator bigger than prey. Just a fun thought. Also , bacteria from natural births have shown lower rates of many diseases/afflictions. Now more women are having c-sections, it’s showing in our overall quality of health. Many studies have determined gut bacteria actually dictate a persons overall health, even mentally! Not to mention that antibiotics are breeding “super bacteria” that nothing can fight. I just want to create a platform for debate, please don’t get me confused 🔬🦠maybe we should take it more literally to respect every living thing. 🌈 I don’t believe in god, but the most poignant part of the Bible was that he would drown humanity but save every living creature 💛

Pretty little blue bird where do you go? Come back, come back to me. “I’m going” says the bird, as he flew on high, “to see if my color matches the sky.” Thanks for all that you do, sir! 💙
@vaN_Bromer its a religion its my religion you can believe anything you want its a belief. you can be atheist jew muslim or some allahu akbar type shit
@@blablablablablabla4366 because all I have around me is fucking cats, everywhere I go I see cats and cats don't get along with birds so I can't right now, maybe when I get a house that is far away from the city. Have I mentioned that i fucking hate cats ? Well I do
Blue Jays are nest thieves where I live. I do have many birds in my yard, they have kept crows and Blue Jay's away. I'd love to attract bats back though since they eat mosquitoes. The Falcons and hawks are eating my bunnies, chipmunks and squirrels.
He reminds me of my botany professor. He's a sweet and funny man in his 80s but is so active! He loves plants so much, takes care of the endemic species of our area...Instead of a garden of houseplants and ornaments, I've now made it so I take care of endemic plant species, made little straws for the native mason bees to nest. It's rewarding
This is why you need a passion in life, especially when you're elderly. He's saved countless bluebirds, and he's lived countless more years because of it.
Oh my gosh thank you. I live in Boise. It is so nice to have a face to go with the name. That mentality is one of my favorite things about living in Idaho. Thank you.
These simple bird boxes have been around for decades. They are unique and beautiful. 97 years old and proving what God's blessings and messages are about. They are showing through you Sir. Thank you for doing this.
We need more people like him. Imagine if one person that is that old can do that much. Imagine how much we all can do for this world if we change our focus from wars to the positive things like this.
When this humble and kind man starting singing, I lost it. His love for all creatures, great and small makes a difference that all the noise doesn't. It helps the planet, and it helps us remember what a true heart can accomplish.
Lots of love from India I am also bird lover. Babblers myna are frequent visitor at my balcony area, they just need peace some food and water to shower and drinking thats it and they will become your friends forever :) save birds they are amazing
Try National Bluebird Societt website. They did have specific measurements there once. Even the hole must be a certain size. And to prevent other birds like woodpeckers from making the hole bigger a d take over box I learned to face the whole with a copper sheet square of metal. There should be instructions there to check the babies for blowflies and be careful of snake predators. Good luck.
Omg what a wonderful men helping environment &bluebirds as well are you kidding me 97 yrs old wow he has especiall places in paradise bless him 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤
I can remember meeting him at a park or fair 20-25 years ago, and left with 2 bluebird houses and the knowledge to help the bluebird population. He was a legend back then!
Now this is what hard work and dedication really looks like when you have passion for something only God can give you the blessing to enjoy it .God bless him and who ever reading this.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing story about Mr. Larson. I am a bird enthusiast myself. I only wish I could thank him as well for being so kind to these precious blue birds. ❤
Damn. This man gonna be escorted to heaven by 40,000 bluebirds.
Amen!
and the birds that had been helped by people who got inspired by his work and continue his work

And what exactly is this video doing but exactly what you describe.
agree
97 yrs old can still hike, use tools to build bird houses, write, read and remembers to input his data for the birds. god bless you sir!
Well he sings
keeping busy will do that. never let your arms down

I bet you’re right, Ray. I just admire him so much
same
Hiking around like that at 97 is amazing!
Meanwhile I get tired walking around my house and I'm not even old yet
I'm also a McCallum, and I'm from Idaho. I've seen some of this guys bird boxes, in fact. Are you from around here?
@Boco Corwin He was 57. Get over yourself. Probably worked hard and saved money to retire at an early age to enjoy life. Seems to be a happy man!

@@KCSaxe Awesome, I loved this comment. A good little chunk of food for thought :)
One factor why he is 97 and still active is he found a reason to live. Lesson learned.
"I'm 97 years old....or young"
I love this man already
Me too, after he said ..young, i was his fan.
He's much better than us, maybe that's why God has given him long life to serve the environment 💖
Na. Only the good die young
But he himself stated "Every living thing has just as much right to live as i do"

these are the types of people who will get a special place in paradise
Only in Jesus can we be in paradise. Only in the one who died for us and our sins. But you're right. I bet he's a believer.
Too bad paradise/heaven/whatever is just a myth
And he will be escorted by the bluebird of paradise 😉

True
Seeing this warmed my heart palpably and added years to my (little 44-year-old) life. What a guy!
He RETIRED in the 1970’s. That’s 40+ years in retirement!
I had the same thought
He wasn't even 60 and he retired, and today in my country someone is lucky to retire at 70, ugh
Giacomo Carnevale You have to start saving from your very first paycheck. I’m putting 20% of my income away and I’ll be lucky if I retire before 55.
@@HughesEnterprises good luck doing that in Italy lol
Giacomo Carnevale so glad I don’t live in the EU
and when he leave this Earth, he'll be flying to the sky with his blue companions, and I'm all for it. *Thank you, Mr. Bluebird.*
"every living being has equal right to live as we do"
Let that sink in.
@Anonymous I guess the depth is too shallow

@justin rogers yea but those racists dont think others are 🤷♀️
i disagree with him on that
national geographic should hire you to make a documentary 👍👍👍
Pretty little blue bird where do you go? Come back, come back to me.
“I’m going” says the bird, as he flew on high, “to see if my color matches the sky.”
Thanks for all that you do, sir! 💙
I have tears coming down my face. What a gentleman. God awaits you in heaven at his table. God Bless you.
when he started singing ☺️
Legit, I started crying. He is a lot like my poppa who passed a decade ago. Would have been about the same age.
....then when he smiles....I lost it I am crying!!!
Thank you for being a conservationist on your own humble way Sir Larson!
As a kid me and my grandma build a bluebird box and put it in our backyard, after about two years a family of bluebirds moved in. I was so happy
The bluebirds told me they didn't like your bluebird box, but they liked you!

That’s why the birds need you.
@zdruva Nosworthy Saudi Arabia, so there is basically no green lands here and there's just cats everywhere and rarely you'll see dogs
I'm going to make sum boxes I feed the blue Jays every morning. Just started bird watching. Thanks for sharing
Bluebirds are different from Blue Jays, and as far as I know, Blue Jays will not use any shelter boxes.
Blue Jays are nest thieves where I live. I do have many birds in my yard, they have kept crows and Blue Jay's away. I'd love to attract bats back though since they eat mosquitoes. The Falcons and hawks are eating my bunnies, chipmunks and squirrels.
good
I feed my birds in my backyard they give me piece and joy I wish I could fly in the sky with no worries on my mind.
@Robert Lopez sorry buddy, california has two sub species of scrub jay, no blue jays. Although both are corvids they are different species
Good for him. Helping the environment and the bluebird species. Kudos to him!

This man served his purpose.It's great how a single person can accomplish such a huge task.
iirc I met this guy at a hummingbird hotspot in southern idaho kinda by Rockland 2 or 3 years ago.
Either way hes an awesome dude!

I wish I lived in Idaho. I’d love to go hang out with him and learn. You should ask if you can put him on a TH-cam channel.
What a gentle man. Beautiful deed will not go unrewarded.
Love this man. Would love to see more sweet people like him on this channel
Would love to see more people like him on this planet 😭
You said it. He earnestly dedicated himself to a single goal and lovingly cared for generations of bluebirds. We need more like him, period.
