Meet the Man Building Human-Sized Nests
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- In the forestry hills of Big Sur, California, Jayson Fann weaves, bends and shapes eucalyptus and willow branches into incredible human-sized nests. Each of these “earthly temples” weighs in at over 100,000 pounds, often requiring heavy-duty equipment to aid in transportation and construction. Now, Fann is using his nests as an educational tool, helping students discover their ability to shape and create their environment, all the while strengthening their connection with nature.

You left out that he uses the invasive Eucaplyptus trees and therefore is attempting to remove them.
Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only person thinking that.
iomoon rip koala
Eucalyptus trees are endangered in Australia
There are over 700 species of eucalyptus. Some are bound to be endangered. But the particular species he's using has entire tree farms dedicated to growing it. So no, it's not endangered.
@@JK-bz7ij he lives in California.
I’m glad I came here. Excellent work!
There is a resort in Negros occidental Philippines and it is bird nest themed and all the tree house is bird nest themed
Love it!!
It has been a challenging mating season for bird person.
Big_Adam_2050 It has been a challenging thing to become original these days
carpei diem BOO! NOT COOL! DISQUALIFIED!
carpei diem Can confirm.
Wubba lubba dub dub
I like it, good job
Now we can become the birb
Alexandra Smith A borb.*
A birb indeeeeed
Alexandra Smith BIRBSSS!
Alexandra Smith but what type of bird
*🅱️🅰️rb*
but the real question is can we lay eggs in it??
Probably not, unless you're a platypus.
James Caldwell well can you?
Well, technically yes. You just need to get some menstruating women in there.
seigeengine true
I mean I can imagine people wanting to give birth in one 😂😂
He cuts down birds houses to copy their houses
In bird culture, this is considered a dick move.
The stuff he's cutting in the footage has fallen already.
+Fujaskanerv fallen and rotten, still standing trees are an essential part of the forest ecology. They are hotbeds for wildlife and important to keep in the forest
EDIT: Here is a link from Penn State about dead trees in the forest extension.psu.edu/dead-wood-for-wildlife
seigeengine actually he is right dead trees are also an important part of the ecosystem
The Friendly Narwhal savage
his friends: let's build a fort
*him:*
that looks like something out of a movie ._.
Jaqen H'ghar V Where The Wild Things Are
OMG! THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO
imagine the amount of spiders.......
I'm pretty sure a spider nest hatched in my house recently.
Spiders are everywhere. I was walking across a concrete patio surrounded by asphalt a few weeks ago and walked into webs stretching from the ground up to a street light.
frilink stop it pls
frilink ... I love spiders!
Grow a pair
MMMMM PROTEIN
1000years later, when they found this nest. they say human living in nest. Maybe nest age, after iron age.
Wow the Human race is advancing
BetaRay but also destroying
BetaRay At the same time, our race is getting stupider too
The sarcasm is great in 2017
Next we will live in a dirt hope :D
JanEn3 and then a new year starts
looks like it would be fun to take his class
1:05 "I use a machete to cut off all the excess leaves" (footage shows chopping off small branches)
1:30 "I use every part of the tree... all the way down to the very smallest twig and branch"
In 1:30, he is talking about using variety of tree parts.
So Sorry, it that really make you embarrassed. Thank ..Love it.. 😉

Quite impressive. I'm anxious to "meet the bird building bird-sized buildings".
I went in one of these as a kid at big sur and fell in love, it was so cool in there
Looks like something out of skyrim
Life Happens, another Skyrim fan here 👍
WOW! Never heard of such a thing! Can we say "COOL??!!!" Yes, yes we can!! Bravo to the nest builder and to the video maker - love this! Thank you! =D♥
that's like the where the wild things are movie.
Hey great big story, can you do a story on a TH-cam channel called primitive technology?
such amazing storys as always, I always enjoy this content, inspiring, enteraring and fun in some ways
Wow this is amazing but I hope he's doing this sustainably.
Are you worried that he builds nests faster than trees can grow? Man, that sounds like a real issue, glad you caught that!
Jan Nikolai Cruz He should only do fallen branches. That way, he can leave the trees alone.
They don't tell you that he is is using the invasive Eucalyptus trees.
It's also kind of irrelevant. He's not going to impact our forests. He's a dude making quirky buildings, not a population of tens of millions hacking down old growth forests to clear land over the span of centuries.
By the was he’s using a invasive species
I'd want one around my front door
:O Me ToO
I can imagine one day, he's gonna wake up to see his nest and find a whole lot of birds flying all over the place. Then thousands of years later people are gonna think birds used to be geniuses...:D
Absolutely beautiful. I'm contacting this individual. I have to.
Now if only this were made of steel and concrete and doused in gasoline, and on fire.
YEAH.
I always wanna make fun of your guys videos because of the strange people and things y'all make videos about, BUT DAMN IT!!! By one minute in every video y'all make, it goes from a strange, funny topic; to the most beautiful and inspiring thing I've ever seen.
I'd LOVE to live in one!
Even without wifi ;3
Or electricity
I wouldn't really care, because I just like being outside.
"Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude"
Guess he took his parents words literally
These are amazing…Sleeping in one is truly magical!
Where the wild things are
Alexis Palacios YES
And the mushrooms.
Honestly, I would totally live there
Birds don't bolt.
I wonder If this guy and his nests was the inspiration for the cover of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Can you imagine the confusion when real birds fly into it ?!?!
"Hey ! This is not my nest !!!"
I was wondering if I could build a squirrel nest. I guess so! Lol. I love what you do and I love big sur!!
2:24 is that mia khalifa
Hey... a man has his hobbies and to have a hobby as a job even better...
This is absolutely amazing !
It's Amazing!!😊👍
Such a good inspiration. This channel is so heartwarming.
Don't cut trees!!!!!
Your using Eucalytus wood? Thats a genera of plants from my country. Doesn't it smell great? Especially that one with the bluish green leaves are particulary fragrant (and highly flammmable). Anyway, wonderful structures.
He said he's a nest builder as if that's a legit profession.
Who lives in them
*WhO LiVeS In ThEm*
Watching you on, To tell the truth lol
beath me to it
Gotta say this is impressive but ... Chainsaws, drills, cranes and trucks? Kinda defeats the whole natural roots concept for me 🙄
I love it.I wish that i can make one.
wow... what a total waste of wood
and the purpose of cutting down trees is? is it habitable for humans or animals? Me thinks it’s a make work project trying to integrate some worthy noble ideas and totally laughable. Trying too hard to be relevant!
So wait, this guy cuts down trees then makes a nest with them but not for birds but instead for....people? What? Is there something I’m missing here?
Do they lay eggs?
Humans kind of lay eggs. When they don't get fertilized and implant(word choice?) correctly.
I must say that although its cool and all, its a shame that he uses chainsaws and bolts. It ruins the experience of "collaborating" with nature as he says in his own words. Many people who do these kinds of things need no power tools or bolts. Only vines and saws. Its also sad that its a gas chainsaw as well and he cuts growing trees without planting, since that not collaborating with nature, thats using it to your artistic advantage... I feel that any kind of art that shines light on nature should also care for it. Art isn't just making one piece of beauty, it's seeing where it all started, seeing every brush stroke or every tree cut.
Reminds me of Where the Wild Things Are. Completely overlooked and underrated movie btw.
This is good news because I identify as a pelican.
*Have a Bird Experience now only 999 call now to get 3 nights at my human bird nests!*
If you would make a nest in Germany you'll go to jail, which basically is a modern nest
Cool good for him hard work and an art form 👌🏻
Well we know who's gonna survive the zombie apocalypse
Do you think a nest can hide you when I activate sights?!
That shit look creepy i bet the birds be watching like show off wait do he live in there?😕 or is he just coo coo for co co pop's
I couldn’t imagine all of the spiders in that thing.
All the femal birdst flocking towards him in the mating season ..🤣
Interesting,😃
Has anyone used this for inspo for a civilization in D&D? Cuz holy shit this is cool.
I think I saw one in Salem Massachusetts right by the house that Clue is based off of.
perfect for koala
Basically a cheesy replica of land artist Nils Udo's works
there will be a day he can't breathe .... don't cut 🌲 they are oxygen banks
It's all fun and games until someone decides to light the nest on fire while you're in there asleep
Don't just show it as an art but make some for people in need like homeless or the trekkers...
Yea destroy real bird nests to build something you’re not gonna even live in
☹️
Please don't cut down trees unless you plant their replacements.
birb
I feel like these nests would be great for dinosaurs if they never went extinct
I do not know how many trees he had destroy . Since he was young he know how to destroy the trees :(
I guess I would have one somewhere on the property to socialize
This reminds me of birdman from hey Arnold.
i hope he uses wood from already-dead trees and planting more trees afterwards
Give this man a seed a year later there won't be a tree there will be a 50 ft bird nest
only human sized birds live there 😂😂😂
Of course it has to be a man with a fedora
Environmentalists everywhere are creaming their pants
Is he the one that made the nest houses in the *Where the wild things are* movie?
100'000 lbs of wood, that's over 45 Mg!
Nice hobby bringing down trees buddy. Keep up
That is quite the sticky building material!
Thumbnail for this video looks like the one boss from rfk
What are the songs used as the background music?
This remind me of harry potter and the cursed child
ay we found the next bird man for spider man movie
Need a wifi modem and the perfect sanctuary is created
human females lay eggs! They select a mate based on how well he can construct a nest for her to lay her egg in. Stronger NEST = more attractive female. When the female lays her egg she enters into the biological state called "nest trance" whereby her heart rate slows and her body temperature increases. physical indicators of a female in nest trance are "low eyes" (eyes appearing half closed) She will also become very aggressive towards any unfamiliar people who stray to close to her egg. She lets out a warning syren which if unheeded will be followed up by a series of swift-strikes. if this fails to deter the intruder she will let out a very high pitched squeal that is designed to alert the male who will appear rapidly and attack any and all creatures within a 10 meter radius of the nest. Once the threat is neutralised he will enter the nest where the female will then begin to graze upon him. This is the world of Nesty.
This reminds me of the book named "Hatchet"
He’s a real big fan of bird person in rick and Morty
Reporting live 1 million trees have disappeared
It reminds me of the fort in Where The Wild Things Are movie
When someone else sees that nest they b like that’s a next gen bird
I've seen one of those at like in Colorado mountains
No it's not a newt is where birds lay eggs and sleep
