😂 on the video at about 13:28 watch in the background.. your emu just pops up behind you checking out the situation lol.. totally cute! I love those 2 little birds that follow you every where, they are awesome!
So happy for you, you are so young yet so motivated you have made that place so insanely gorgeous with such a great variety and such care for your animals. Congratulations on your million you are definitely a you tuber very deserving! Your parents are proud I’m sure!
Love the birds r so comfortable w u that they’d jump on ur shoulder. This aviary is a blast to watch!!! I couldn’t wait for the aviary to b done. Been looking so forward to it ever since u mentioned u wanted to put one up. Gotta say it’s even better than what I could imagine! Best new addition in a while 👍🏻
I don't know how you find time to upload these videos,great free food for the snake but those trumpeters are the star of the show just hilarious,love his wing on your head just like an umbrella ☺🇬🇧
You are speaking the truth on the mice. I have never had mice issues till I got my Cockatoos and I have the birds food In sealed containers. I keep the areas around the cages clean. I still will catch one here and there I have set traps in my garage my patio etc. I enjoy watching your videos. Seeing the different animals and their personalities
Blake, "CAUGHTEN" is not a word bro. You must have used that made up word 20 times lol. "Caught" is the past tense for "catch". It's we've caught not we've caughten!
I would dig up around the edges and stick fencing under the ground, that way its harder for something to come in and something to go out. so you dont have to be setting traps up everywhere.
Great vibe on this video, birds chirping running around and jumping on your shoulder, that is a great shot 🔥, this video made my morning, thanks for sharing. Congrats on the 1Million SUBS👍
Another great video! Might be more work editing all these related clips, but it makes a fast moving, really interesting video. I enjoy the 'cameo' appearances of the ranch critters as you're walking along the fence. Peace and blessings from south Texas.
sweetheart, those aren't field mice, there Rats and they could kill any of your animals they catch on the ground or in the trees. there very much in danger. hope you get them all
Oh God! I was afraid something got your birds. I also came to realize how fond I am of your toe biting trumpeters as those are the ones I most feared for, lol. Keep up the good (and never ending) work!
As a person who grew up on a small farm, in a small farming community, unfortunately sometimes a person has to kill the predator that is getting your farm animals. Some predators can't be removed, they come back, and bring more predators with them! It is what it is sometimes, even though I don't like it, and it can be hard! The mice, rats, never go away, got to constantly keep numbers down!
Give my dude his likes. I would never imagine I'll be watching something like this coming from where I'm from but this channel kinda cool and I learned something.
Love this video Blake! I have a question for you and it has been on my mind for a while, when do you think you will do the upgrade on the barn for the goats and moower I feel so bad for them because of all the flooding in front of their home?
Had a friend that bred Hyacinth Macaws and other high dollar birds. After a bad breeding season cameras were installed, cameras caught rats and mice bugging his pairs out . 2 jack Russell terriors ended that issue . His next breeding season was back on track.
Hi mate All the way from England here love your aviary just wanted to say I use the live traps and I found that spreading peanut butter in the trap gave me a better success rate 👍 keep up the good work
Have you thought about wrapping the post's that the nest boxes are on in metal so the critters can't climb to steal eggs and or babies from their nests??🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@Blake hey, i hope u and your fam are doing well...i have a couple of suggestions for you....just like any other animals, birds like sounds as well...i'm no expert by any means but i have owned lots of birds (finches, budgies and cockatiels) and all three species enjoyed music...also for any Macaws or any birds who can talk, get a recording, in your voice (because they recognize it) of common words you want them to know and learn, and get it to play on a loop and they will learn words, then go to sentences etc. u can also give them a break "from learning lol", and play some music in between as well, and 1 last suggestion, u could put in 24 hour cameras, say in each corner and maybe the top of the aviary, so those of us that want to watch or just "check in" on the birds (to me it is so relaxing) and also the fish, we can enjoy it....just a few thoughts, Blake even put 24 hour cameras in with Ollie and Kalli, i mean i cant speak for anyone else, and again i say i'm not an expert but i do enjoy watching all of your animals but those 2 are the most interesting and fun to watch!!!
You could make a rat trap out of a bucket type thing you set a ramp to a bucket get a bait something flips the rat over into the bucket with the imbalance and can literally catch a bucket full and still set up other traps
You need to get some farm cats to take care of those mice. Obviously not in the aviary, but I'm sure they would help keep the population down in the area. Also I recommend maybe double meshing or finding a strong material to keep squirrels out
Use peed cat litter. That will keep them away. No it will not stink up the place. Sprinkle it all-around the edges. Believe me it works extremely good I have had to do it.
I read that grey winged trumpeters are kept as pets in their native range because of their rodent controlling abilities and they are easy to tame. You might want to consider adding swamphens to your farm, they eat rodents(I supposed you could add them to the aviary but, be warn that they are known to eat the eggs and fledgings of waterfowl when not eating rodents.) A final thing is just think about adding a barn owl nesting box to your ranch. Owls are simply your best friend, they are natural predators of rodents and are native, so you don't have to worry about how you are impacting the ecosystem as if you were using other methods i.e. poison, cats, etc.
i always thought 2 nets would be better for the build just because predators. maybe a 2 inch slab of concrete around the bottom of the Aviary so they cant dig under. you going to need alot more than 8 traps to bro if you caught that many theres alot more .
I think you interacting with your subscribers will help you grow faster…that has been the mantra that all the TH-camrs I subscribe (other than you) follow…then again that’s what I think.
You should get a wire mesh cage for the rats and mice you catch and put them in there for a week or two with food and water obviously just to make sure there's no poison in their system before you feed them off
Dont use peanuts use peanut butter mice rat and squirrel love it. I did a test on mice and rats with cheese chocolate peanuts and peanut butter 95 percent went for peanut butter. Also if you have a rat hole put the trap right there then use small bricks to build a wall on 3 sides and the forth side is the hole to the trap and to stop other animals going in you can put bricks around the trap also so they cant see the bait in the trap which will save you time on having to release the unwanted animals. You will get them trust me
You need to bring in Joseph Carter the mink man. Between his mink and dogs, he would do wonders. It would also make a great video for both channels.
The mink would munch the ducks/birds.
He would just lock them up somewhere with any of the bird farms carter has been to
Exactly
Dope idea man!!!
If that was so he won't be doing his job guys
Ofc his minks must have been trained to attack specific ones
😂 on the video at about 13:28 watch in the background.. your emu just pops up behind you checking out the situation lol.. totally cute! I love those 2 little birds that follow you every where, they are awesome!
You have a lot more iguanas if you caught one. They are the climbers messing your net up. Get bigger traps too
So happy for you, you are so young yet so motivated you have made that place so insanely gorgeous with such a great variety and such care for your animals. Congratulations on your million you are definitely a you tuber very deserving! Your parents are proud I’m sure!
Love the birds r so comfortable w u that they’d jump on ur shoulder. This aviary is a blast to watch!!! I couldn’t wait for the aviary to b done. Been looking so forward to it ever since u mentioned u wanted to put one up. Gotta say it’s even better than what I could imagine! Best new addition in a while 👍🏻
The fact that the trumpeter got on your shoulder shows that u take care of them
I can’t wait for you to hit 1 Million Blake! You’re almost there just 3k away!! Early congratulations on 1 Mil Blake! Congrats 🎉🍾
Blake you should set up some night vision game cameras to see what’s really out there!
I don't know how you find time to upload these videos,great free food for the snake but those trumpeters are the star of the show just hilarious,love his wing on your head just like an umbrella ☺🇬🇧
First and Love all your videos blake. Keep up the good work on the ranch buddy❤
You are speaking the truth on the mice. I have never had mice issues till I got my Cockatoos and I have the birds food In sealed containers. I keep the areas around the cages clean. I still will catch one here and there
I have set traps in my garage my patio etc. I enjoy watching your videos. Seeing the different animals and their personalities
12:55 that was so dope you can even hear him calling before he hop up. "Coming in for landing blake"
Blake, "CAUGHTEN" is not a word bro. You must have used that made up word 20 times lol. "Caught" is the past tense for "catch". It's we've caught not we've caughten!
I have finally cautghten this comment that I was looking for in de comment section
I have started a Blake dictionary. It's like Urban dictionary only filled with Blakeisms
Lol he has mentioned indirectly that he has a learning disability of some sort, it takes him toke to formulate his words
who cares lol its not a spelling contest
Haha like when he calls algae....alergy....boy needs some school time big time.
Dude! The aviary is sick! So awesome Blake! Keep it up amigo!
Thanks bro
I would dig up around the edges and stick fencing under the ground, that way its harder for something to come in and something to go out. so you dont have to be setting traps up everywhere.
That might encourage the rats to chew holes in the mesh compared to just crawling under it
Racoons could be a problem in the future they will destroy that net
Great vibe on this video, birds chirping running around and jumping on your shoulder, that is a great shot 🔥, this video made my morning, thanks for sharing. Congrats on the 1Million SUBS👍

That's wat I thought
*They're
Oh God! I was afraid something got your birds. I also came to realize how fond I am of your toe biting trumpeters as those are the ones I most feared for, lol. Keep up the good (and never ending) work!
Do you still have your skunk? I forget his name but we haven't seen him in a while.
Fluffy..he still does !!
I was a bird owner for 17 years and I can confirm rats are an issue that's how I unfortunately lost my bird💔
16:42 When the trap boomin 🤣🤣🤣

These traps work real well man. Would be cool if the company could sponsor you and donate more for you
I've heard/read that Guinea can also be protective of their flock/birds and will help with rodents
I think you should get a couple of victorian crowned pigions for the aviary. SAL SINGH Oshawa Store Ontario Canada.
Hi mate All the way from England here love your aviary just wanted to say I use the live traps and I found that spreading peanut butter in the trap gave me a better success rate 👍 keep up the good work
I’m also from engalend
Me too, I have the same trap and PJ works like a charm
Your Aviary is looking good. I am only able to support you by watching the blogs and the adds.
Have you thought about wrapping the post's that the nest boxes are on in metal so the critters can't climb to steal eggs and or babies from their nests??🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
That's so cool the trumpeter comes up and jumps on your shoulder, great choice of bird
Where did you get the traps from? I don't see a link to them like you said you'd put.
@Blake hey, i hope u and your fam are doing well...i have a couple of suggestions for you....just like any other animals, birds like sounds as well...i'm no expert by any means but i have owned lots of birds (finches, budgies and cockatiels) and all three species enjoyed music...also for any Macaws or any birds who can talk, get a recording, in your voice (because they recognize it) of common words you want them to know and learn, and get it to play on a loop and they will learn words, then go to sentences etc. u can also give them a break "from learning lol", and play some music in between as well, and 1 last suggestion, u could put in 24 hour cameras, say in each corner and maybe the top of the aviary, so those of us that want to watch or just "check in" on the birds (to me it is so relaxing) and also the fish, we can enjoy it....just a few thoughts, Blake even put 24 hour cameras in with Ollie and Kalli, i mean i cant speak for anyone else, and again i say i'm not an expert but i do enjoy watching all of your animals but those 2 are the most interesting and fun to watch!!!
i was watching since 110k subs, crazy to see you grow.
Omg 13:32 the rhea in the background XD. (Not sure just guessing if it is a rhea I might be wrong)
Lol, if your'e talking about the emus I saw him being nosey too!
Aye blake i got a question you think the tiger king really hurt his animals ? Or he was set up
Hey Blake I see birds in the aviary is looking good keep up the good work you put in to your birds man👌✌👍
Hi Blake can you not put expanding foam in between the netting as rodents won’t eat through it,
I hope your animals are all safe blake.
You're doing great on your ranch
yooo your almost at 1million subs lets goo!!!
Keep up the good work Blake. The aviary is gorgeous especially the torokos I like them a lot.
Are the first two flighty Mandarin ducks more chilled now, with the other calmer ducks? Or are they still hiding?
How many acres do you own for the ranch ? Or do you plan on expanding ?
How are you still not at 1 million?! Your content is amazing!
Those trumpeters are funny as hellllll 😆😆😆😆😆
Thats messed up! Gotta keep the birds safe! Keep up the awesome content man!
What did you do with the Iguana that you caught?
So close to 1mill Blake congratulations mate well earned 👍🏻👌🏻
These vlogs are better, it's like the best of each day
Hey Blake you should get a pair of Cayuga ducks they’re really cool, I’d LOVE to some of them!
Tis the CIRCLE OF LIIIIIFE🎶🎶🎵
Glad you are still using the live traps. It is better for the animals and the ranch. The animals look so happy and content.
if u paint the traps im preety sure that it prevents rust and it last longer for the traps
What were the traps called?
Do u still have the traps in the goat pen those were huge everything looking beautiful
What happened to the treehouse/platform thing he built like last month?
It's in the video lol
The two birds really steal the show.
Just finished talking about how the rats could be poisoned, proceeds to decide to feed the rats to his animals anyways😂
72hour screening window wold solve the issue I was thinking the same, the bog standard blue grain baits have a 24-72 hour death estimate.
You could make a rat trap out of a bucket type thing you set a ramp to a bucket get a bait something flips the rat over into the bucket with the imbalance and can literally catch a bucket full and still set up other traps
Is there duck billed platypus there where you are, like in your state?
Will you be putting any other birds in there? You have such a beautiful sanctuary 😍 💜
what did you do with the iguana
You need to get some farm cats to take care of those mice. Obviously not in the aviary, but I'm sure they would help keep the population down in the area.
Also I recommend maybe double meshing or finding a strong material to keep squirrels out
Great video Blake keep up the hard work
Not a great video this is bad news for the avairy
What did you do with the Iguana
Love your videos Blake keep up the good job
Use peed cat litter. That will keep them away. No it will not stink up the place. Sprinkle it all-around the edges. Believe me it works extremely good I have had to do it.
Yeah 😂👍🏾 I'm the first yay me! Keep up the good work Blake.
Great video blake keep up the good work an stay safe
Only 3k left for a million!! Let’s do this!!
Why is the pond so dirty not using the bacteria?
I read that grey winged trumpeters are kept as pets in their native range because of their rodent controlling abilities and they are easy to tame. You might want to consider adding swamphens to your farm, they eat rodents(I supposed you could add them to the aviary but, be warn that they are known to eat the eggs and fledgings of waterfowl when not eating rodents.)

Have you looked into Pygmy geese for the aviary.
Blake, do you know what to do about bird mites? What kills them little bastards?
i always thought 2 nets would be better for the build just because predators. maybe a 2 inch slab of concrete around the bottom of the Aviary so they cant dig under. you going to need alot more than 8 traps to bro if you caught that many theres alot more .
Blake… name of traps your using??
I think you interacting with your subscribers will help you grow faster…that has been the mantra that all the TH-camrs I subscribe (other than you) follow…then again that’s what I think.
7 comment what is good Blake I Alway enjoy your videos Blake and I love your Avery it is coming out dope and amazing 👍💪💯💯💪👍👍👍👍💪💪💯
You should get a wire mesh cage for the rats and mice you catch and put them in there for a week or two with food and water obviously just to make sure there's no poison in their system before you feed them off
Are wild rats disease free? I would be cautious when using them as feeders.
Where is Lexi your eclectus? i haven't seen her in any videos in a while.
Another DOPPEEE VIDEO!! Keep it up!!
You can paint the trap so it will be more resistant to rust
Blake can u give us an update regarding your gators. Thank GT from Fresno CA.
can we finally get this man one mil
Where is kendra ?????
How did you get your channel first started
I like how he says "We have cauhin" LMAO🤣
Congratulations Blake on 1 Million. You deserve it buddy 🙌💥🐦🎉👏💖🌰
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
He's caught'n some thing! 😂
where has Kenya been lately? this is the first video I've seen her on in a while is she in school?
Will there be a countdown to 1M subs??
Great trap and keep up the great job I am very happy that the trap is working
Dont use peanuts use peanut butter mice rat and squirrel love it. I did a test on mice and rats with cheese chocolate peanuts and peanut butter 95 percent went for peanut butter.

You will get them trust me
Keep it!! Lol. Keep the iguana and build one of your amazing enclosures for it. 😊
