    I don't hang the bird feeder at all times. The birds, like the bears, have plenty of natural food literally lying on the ground. In spite of what many people think I'm not in the bear-feeding business. If they score some birdseed once in a while, so be it. But I intend for them to forage for themselves and, more importantly, teach their cubs how it's done. Their health and survival depend on it.

      As far as I know she is used to him; she trust him enough to bring cubs near him and this is not the first litter. Look also, that Patrick has a good deal of respect for them - trust or not but if mother would think that cubs are threatened in any way things could go nasty...

      I did in yosemite in 2020 or 21 when they reopened the park. The bears thought we had abandoned it and just moved in. In was amazing for my very fearful wife to see the gentle side in person. I crunched a branch trying to take a pic and got a perfect pic of the mama staring at me while the cub was supermaning it up the hill.

      She was wondering where her very own "special seed tray" went. Did a thorough search hoping to find where it had gone. A different spot, perhaps? Even though she is very respectful to you. When she gets close, still feel a bit nervous for you. Thank you Patrick for sharing special moments of your life with us all. Still difficult to believe she has FOUR babies this season. That is an unusual amount? She is quite black. With the sun shining on the babies today, their fur looked lighter brown? Does it darken as they age? A beautiful and relaxing place to live. ♥️🐻♥️🐻♥️🐻♥️🐻♥️🐻♥️. That alot of bear in the traveling show. 👍👍

      He is a very awesome person. I’m extremely grateful that he shows people that animals don’t want to hurt people!! I’ll give a little advice! If you see a big animal and you know it will kill you!!! Do not run. Stand your ground. They will do what there heart and mind tells them. Just like a dog. Don’t run. It will chase and get you!!!! Stand your ground and show how big you are!!!! If you are bigger and stand up you will win and that animal will go away. They assume you are a threat. In this case there are babies. If anyone comes near one of them babies , you will die! Then mama will be put down. Please leave all animals alone. Obviously this bear knows he is not a threat. Truly awesome and I respect this man. As we see all these videos maybe not in its entirety but still we see. There is a reason and I’m hoping it is a bond and not food. I’m new to this channel as I subscribed and I love animals. He seems like a great man.

So it's not the homeowners fault their use to coming to certain properties.

      @@jesss101 Just my opinion, but I think it's never a good idea to get friendly with big, powerful and potentially dangerous wild animals. Apart from anything else, not only mama bear but also her cubs are getting habituated to contact with humans in human colonies. Even if I follow your argument that Simone is totally benign and will always be so in any situation to Patrick, we have to accept that her cubs are learning to feel comfortable in human territory and will have their own personalities - and they will find mates who may copy their behaviour and have maybe very different and maybe aggressive personalities. Also Simone herself is getting more and more comfortable roaming around Patrick's neighbourhood and the way other humans in that neighbourhood react may provoke different reactions from her. To my mind, this is an irresponsible and dangerous project, and can only end badly. Just my 2 cents worth.

      @@BobC59 Life is all about managing danger and risks. I, for one, have a project as a 73-year old retired person to start regularly solo bikepacking with wild camping frequently thrown in. So you could hardly describe me as the typical boring and unadventurous type. I just think that fraternising with wild bears in human populated neighbourhoods is an irresponsible and dangerous project, not least for your neighbours living around you. Again, just my 2 cents worth...

    I am amazed at how Simone remembers Patrick & doesn't push the envelope with him. Those babies are adorable but growing fast. Simone prefers bird seed to wild stuff.😅

      No. She would be making more frequent visits if that were true. She much prefers her natural food.
