No joke, I would watch a Becorns animated series. They're so cute!

You know what? Joonie's character growth in this is beautiful. Starting out as a nurturing, gentle giver. Then being attacked. Perhaps with the trauma of that incident coupled with other Becorns convincing her to be more menacing, She girds herself with weapons and a scowl to any threat. But after a while, she realises this is not who she is, she sees the birds, chipmunks and also the squirrels less. She's a giver. Not a menacing warrior. She loves, she doesn't want to hate, it's too big of a weight. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I LOVE these videos of yours! The storytelling is heart warming, I really hope to see more!

My granddaughter asked me how I got the squirrels around my home to eat from my hand. I said it was easy, I just had to sit totally still for 3+ hours with food in my hand several days in a row. She looked at me like I was crazy 🤣 I think kids are really missing out not learning to be still. These videos are amazing! Thanks for being willing to sit still and share the beautiful pics you got with us

Thank you for your service, to all Becorn vets who served in the Squirrel Rebellions, and a salute to the lost 😔😭

I'm a cynical person probably to my detriment and when I saw this I was thinking " what is this nonsense?" Something made me watch and let me tell you that this hit a soft part in my heart. Everyone wants a Becorn animated series, but I think a stop motion would be the best. Im going to catch up on the rest of your channel now. Hope there are plenty posts.

That is the cutest, most original thing I’ve ever seen!!! It satisfies my secret fairyland longing!! Pleeeeease make an animated series!!! Sigh

The becorn tribe you’ve created is so creative. I admire your workmanship, you bring a sweet personality to each one

Wow, I can't think of another time anyone's plucked something directly from my childhood imagination and made it real. I used to picture little woodsy critters like this interacting with plants and animals, when I was very young, and dream of building something like them someday. I always thought acorns looked like helmets! I had a lot of arts-and-crafts dreams, when I was young. Nowadays, I'm more blind than not, and my hands so close to paralyzed they can't make anything outside of my keyboard, but it's lovely to know somebody else met these little guys in the woods, and made them real.

The way you’re blending art, nature and photography is just amazing. This is really cool and creative.

I love the way the script got flipped and inspired a warrior class. Reality can be brutal and ugly and that is something we all learn. The Becorns, even in their fairy world, are not exempt from this. Fear and terror gives birth to bravery and heroes.

It was brutal watching Joonie Jr. being ripped apart. This is such brilliant work.

I am 100% smitten with everything about this - and esp with the characters. Simply amazing and heart-warming.

I had a friend, who was in the Berine Corn and the stories he told me were scary and can relate to this story. Thank you to all the Becorns who served their countrees.

Animated becorns would be the best and would watch it with my grand and great grandchildren again and again. I could see it becoming a classic for generations to come. Thank you so very much for sharing your artistic talent. It's quite an experience.

Almost all the pics of the final Junie with a chipmunk are wonderful, especially the ones where you can clearly see her smile. When I was a kid, I hand-fed peanuts to a squirrel in Central Park, NYC. At first he'd cautiously approach my hand (I was lying on the ground), grab the peanut and run away to eat it. But pretty quickly he just sat by my hand as he took one peanut after another out of my hand and ate them right there. It was a special experience.

You're insane, and I love it. People never cease to amaze. Long live Joonie.

I've wanted to create a children's story book with the same level of whimsical wholesomeness. Overall good job on creating these becorn characters.

really happy that you appeared on my Instagram feed - I am completely charmed by your work, all aspects of it, from idea through creation and capture. Just amazing and fun. (yes, I watched this video until it was COMPLETELY over - MCU has trained me well)

I feel like Becorns, if ever lost or eaten or what have you, would just grow back on trees after a week or so. We see Joonie having an unfortunate first encounter with a squirrel, coming back prepared for the second take, and eventually going back to doing what she does best, but with maybe a hint more of caution! (Can't feed the birds when she's off regrowing, after all!)

this NEEDS to be an animated series its so wholesome and it even has conflict! I love this

Yes, I love the Becorns, but your storytelling is also amazing. I'm smiling deep inside.

These are so cute. I feel this should be featured on the daily dose of internet, it would make a lot of people's day. You should submit it, seriously. :D

Oh my goodness! Becorns are so adorable! Junie is next level cuteness overload! Her seedshake brings all the squirrels to the yard! Heehee! 💜

You are a real woodland artist. Your little becorns are so adorable! Thank you! ❤🥰

7:32 adorable, Junie just hanging with her bestie. 7:36 pic looks like a boxer chipmunk

Reminds me of the Timbertoes (from Highlights magazine), the Littles, The Borrowers. Yours are concrete and lovely! It seems like a truly challenging endeavor as it seems to contain 3 or 4 disciplines that take many people years to master. Passion projects are truly memorable.

I feel like making something like this stop motion would be production hell but some sort of series with these big horns would be very very welcome by many people. It makes sense to hear you have a history in toy design. I do a little bit of writing an art myself. And I love when you see a character and you look at them and you can just feel their whole backstory and soul on sight. Amazing work.

I want more episodes of this! They are amazing! 🍂

I have to say, your content gives me the simple joys in life. It is so beautifully pure and simple, yet such an amazing creation. I would love and pay to see even a entire movie about your becorns or a whole series. It gives me vibes of the movie “marcel, the shell with shoes on”. Please keep making these beautiful works of art and ur videos; it’s made my living with severe mental health issues and going thru the day easier. Thank you…

David's connection to nature charms the hell out of me. As a fellow artist and composer,my admiration is unbounded. Love your music scores,David. Exquisite guitar work.

"Hey, come back... that's mine!" I was dying! Lmao & in have to give a shout out to those peg-legged bcorns!

Dude you are truly talented. Also you’re a good storyteller. I am fascinated by your imagination and creativity especially how you combine it with nature and animals. I’ve become a fan

I can’t get enough of this. If you knew me, you wouldn’t believe that I could possibly love what you do so much. Make of that, what you want.

The becorns are a delight but I'm equally impressed by your sketches. Never, ever would I be able to do that. Thanks for sharing.

I love that you leave the little nubbin between their legs! 😂 My favorite was the one where the chipmunk is looking into the basket kind of indesicively and the becorn looks like she's explaining to the chipmunk what's on the menu.

❤️ love the Becorns. So blended in nature and kind of a light in darkness and a whimsical fantasy connecting with other creatures in nature would make a nice character Toy with which children could relate to. 👏🙏

These are just gorgeous. I could definitely sit and watch the interactions of animals and acorn people I wonder if you could do something with pine cones.

Gosh this is so whimsical and wholesome 🥰

holy shmoly these are SOOOOOO cute and i love the lil day-in-the-life story telling you put together

I planted two acorns in the late fall, the one grew into a nice double little tree and the second planting was eaten in entirety , live and learn. Love your imagination and use of acorns, Judy is a cool character

What a great pass time. And I am amazed that the bluebirds weren't scared off from the interaction and changes around their nest.

So sweet. So happy to find your happy little world.

I really enjoyed watching. Makes me feel like a kid thinking there's a becorn universe in the forest right now. Reminds me of the movie Epic! Love your imagination, craftsmanship, and execution of your vision.

Just so sweet and so creative, keep doing this.🧡🤎💛❤️🍂🍁

Hola David. Estoy maravillada con tus hermosos Becorns, tus increíbles y bellísimas fotos (son tan reales!) y tu infinita paciencia para lograr esas deliciosas imágenes donde el mundo real se conecta con el mundo de la fantasía. Me impactó tu creatividad y detalle en la fabricación de Joonie, y la dulzura con la que describís su pérdida una vez tras otra. Sin dudas debes ser también una maravillosa persona. Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Argentina!

It is very exciting how the forest animals get close to these wonderful little creatures ♥️💕

Yes I watched until you faded out! Your post came through my FB last week. Adorable and sweet little woodland spirits! Since then I've watched both of your videos a few times and shared out the links to several friends and family members. I'm not sure whether the connection is the personalities of your Becorn waifs or the relationships that come across between the Bcorns and the animals. Your eye for creating the interactions is spot on! Not to mention your photographic skills and patience! You're on to something here and I hope you just keep rolling! Thanks!

C’est juste magnifique!! Bravo pour ces adorables petits personnages, vous avez beaucoup d’imagination. Et en plus, j’adore les écureuils . Merci beaucoup. Thanks a lot, it’s amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩

Now that is truly a Novel idea .. Bring on more Becorns ..

I love this little series! And can't wait for episode three!

Like mad creators throughout time, you are insane in the best way. To see sticks and seeds as living, breathing beings takes a sort of divine inspiration, and to follow through and make your vision real takes a commitment and belief that few possess. You have turned what would be a simple pastime craft into art...a whole world that you invite the rest of us to explore. You sir, are completely bonkers...but then, the best people usually are. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

OMG Absolutely magical !!! Thank you so much Dave for smiles so wide !!! 🙏🐿❤️

This is such a clean of little and beautiful way of telling stories of this little acorns to children. I believe these acorns stories, children would love to hear. Please write a book with stories of these little character's. Like I said the children would love them. 🥰

Bluebirds, Squirrels, Becorns, Butterflies. Long ago the four nations lived together in harmony, then everything changed when the Squirrel nation attacked.

I just really love the little backstories behind your characters! And I would certainly buy a Junie figurine! Just something fun, see @moviesquirrels videos. A lot of people like to watch, listen, to the nature sounds and just watch animals doing animal things. With music, without music, or even if you want to tell a cute little story in the background. ASMR that's very popular right now, and also bedtime stories for people to fall asleep to. (See podcast - "Nothing Much Happens". You can play around with some of those ideas with your Becorns, and any of that extra or excess footage of video that you have. This was a very cute story about the squirrel. And I love how you always set out to get one thing but end up with another! Such as life! Especially nature!

Absolutely adorable and you are such a nice man.

Love, love, love your stuff! I've always had a thing for miniatures and this is the ultimate in my mind!

I just love you're Becorns they are so very cool.🌻

This is absolutely delightful

WoW David! Fantastic! Your Becorns need to be seen by a lot more people, they make contagious Smiles.

I know that you didn't like Juny Jr. as much, but I like how it creates an archetype. I can imagine that it saw or knew the fate of the original and wanted to protect itself and the feeder.

This is so enchanting and adorable. I absolutely love it. It makes me so happy to see someone doing what they love and making art their own way. I really hope to see more of these videos in the future. :)

I'm so glad to have tripped over Becorns. I love this! Ive done some little sculptures with owls in logs, sold handmade mushrooms, and animated rocks around a campfire. Always makes people smile when they come in my booth. Growing up in Hanover, no shortage of acorns that also looked like little people with french barets on to me when I was little.

That was hysterical at the end! Love your videos!❤

I subbed hoping to bingewatch more of this series to find out this was the latest one😭 i hope you decide to upload more!

It's was so sad and sort of shocking to see a Becorn being attacked and eaten. You made "life" from an acorn with your creation. What a fantastic storybook you could make with your drawing and photo skills. Better still an animated Becorn short film. Brilliant.

I just got your print from Tiny Prints and was watching this with my kids because they didn't believe it wasn't photoshoped. It was such a happy coincidence that we also learned Junie III's story!

David M, not only do I love your BECORNS, but your narration and story telling is also top notch!

It's incredible. The amount of patience involved and creativity. Mind blowing.

Oh no, poor Joonie 😢 I'd love to see another behind the scenes episode... so fascinating!

This is extremly amazing 🤯🤯🥰🥰🥰❤️

The picture of the Becorn fighting the Squirrel with a weapon literally made me tear up, fantastic imagination you have there! Also RIP Junnie!

I am so grateful that I found your channel. Your work is creative and sweet. With all the craziness in the world today you give us something that could melt anyone's heart and lift their soul. Thank you Sir. ☺

OMG I just can't get enough of these. They are so darn Adorable. Precious. 💞

I so would love acorn warriors to protect these little becorns. I love your process and I would love to see a story line like miniscules. So cute beyond words. Australia

Amazing! So quirky and whimsical. I'm enchanted!

I love these little Becorns. Dave you are such a wonderful artist, and I love the gorgeous photography, sweet storylines, and your creative process. Thank you for these lovely videos. So sorry about Junie, she was so cute.

Love your Instagram … your creations are so adorable. I’ve always loved miniatures and fairy gardens…. Your creations are so enchanting

Joonie was an experience Birdherder, or Birder, as many of the becorns called them. her job was to go out and make sure the new and young birds have plenty of seeds to get them ready for the winter season. Becorns were guardians of the forest, they were tasked with watching over and helping the less fortunate creatures of nature. Joonie had helped many birds, young and old. She had been around many seasons. But she had never encountered a squirrel. Becorns avoided squirrels, while creatures of nature like birds, squirrels were known to steal from becorns and birds. They had even been known to attack and eat becorns. Most becorns were quick and wise enough to avoid them. But she still had heard stories, and Elder Bitberry had lost his leg to a squirrel. Joonie had a new assignment, a group of birds had moved in just a few trees down, and she was tasked with making sure they were getting enough seeds before the colder weather set in. So she set out, her cupule filled with yummy seeds. She waited at the new spot. But no birds came. However a large, furry creature 10 times her size, bigger than any bird she had feed. It came right up to her, its hot breath washed over her. She was frozen with fear, was this one of the dreaded squirrels she had heard of. It poked at her. Was she going to get eaten, should she have been more careful. But the squirrel left, leaving her unharmed. Joonie didn't know what to think of her squirrel encounter. The squirrel didn't hurt her, in fact it had taken some of her seeds. Maybe the squirrel just needed some seeds too. Maybe squirrels were just like birds, maybe not all squirrels were bad. Joonie went back to the spot, even though no birds were there, she brought more seeds hoping to see her squirrel friend again. She did not tell Elder Bitberry about it, he would reassign her if he found out. While she met a few other creatures at her spot, the squirrel didn't comeback. She was about to give up, but them one morning he came back. He seemed bigger than last time, but more majestic this time. Like a giant golden god. The squirrel came right up to her, despite the awe she was in, it was still scary and she was frozen with fear again. The squirrel ate all the seeds, this brought joy to Joonie, "maybe squirrels are just hungry like birds, maybe if you have seeds they will leave you alone." She thought. But then something Joonie didn't expect happen. The squirrel grabbed her with his massive claws, it pushed into her acorn body, it didn't hurt, but it wasn't pleasant. Joonie didn't know what was going on, maybe the squirrel wanted to thank her, or show her something. The squirrel did not. Squirrels liked seeds, but most of all squirrels like acorns. This was Joonie's last mission, she feed many birds, and small animals throughout her time, which many becorns did. But her final mission, she feed a squirrel. We will miss you Joonie, may all becorns have kernals as soft and warm as you did.

What a vid David! What a vid! Amusing and magnificent and lovely, that it made me remind of my childhood! Thanks so much! I recalled the sweetest memories of my times as a child, when I had my pet chipmunk. How do I express my gratitude?! I have had lost my motivation but now it is back because of you! Your photography and art is wonderful, literally full of wonder. It is after a long time that I have felt happy and have taken my time to comment on a video. Thanks so much! You're blessed by the lord, he'll always bring glee to you since your work puts a true smile on others' face.💚

OMG this is the most beautiful thing I've seen, Truly stunning. You are super gifted.

This whole concept is delightful and a joy to hear and watch.🙏🏻💐Yeah!👏👏👏

This video turned up late one night when I couldn’t sleep…..so glad I pressed play😀 incredible photos and an amazing amount of patience. Thank you for cheering me up🌞

The Dark Side of David Bird!: "Peanut butter on the backs of Becorns." That's like putting a Steak on the back of a human in the Lions Den! Lol 😆😂😅 Keep up this incredible content. You're a truly talented, and very patient person. Thank you.

I battle with squirrels in my own garden. They take the ginger, galangal and turmeric roots and rebury them elsewhere. They steal the garden signs for almost everything I've planted. I like to imagine that there is an adolescent squirrel in a tree hollow somewhere and he's bragging to his friends about how he scored these magical artifacts and barely got away with his life while taking them. He tells them how these magically imbued squares while pushed into the soil, will make different type of food appear. Keep telling your stories, these are beautiful!

I love this, and yes I would also enjoy a follow up book or movie. But it would have to be stop-motion (I think that is what they are called , like the old Gumby cartoons.) because your art work is priceless. Now I wish to creat one, but my hands aren’t as nimble as in the past. Good luck, and am looking forward to the next adventure, BOOKS! And on a different note, you should have sanded off the little nob on her underside.

Truly magical! Love seeing & hearing about your creative process. Enjoyed the storytelling, humour & nature sounds. So much patience & imagination goes into this! Keep creating, this is wonderful :)

7:30’s photo is the cutest one 😭🙌🏾🥺🐿

I like shot with the chipmunk and the Becorn, it tells such a story in just 1 frame. 😁 I like the one where he's over her shoulder and the one where he's facing her. So sweet!

I've been in a blood feud with Squirrel Nation since 2002. My heart goes out to the families of your fallen. You, sir, did those heros an inconceivable disservice by making them look so tasty.

I love this so much. Right away I am sharing this delightful Becorn whimsy with many family members.

You're so talented and funny! Incredible imagination! I love this video, and the "Ferris Bueller" type ending topped it off perfectly 😂 lol!

Dios bendiga ese don artístico. Gracias por compartir y enseñar. Además demuestra un gran amor por la naturaleza. Felicidades esa es la actitud. Un abrazo fuerte desde Colombia 🇨🇴👌

Thank God for people like you. You put magic in our lives and want to create, paint and draw!

The fact I could see it using the thorn lol too cute

There are only two episodes of these Becorn creatures but I've fallen in love with them. I could really see them fitting into a D&D World I'd love to see more especially more festive ones

The Becorns are so cute! I love this!

Loved the work that went into creating each Joonie...liked all of them...

We can imagine Becorns pulls a sign on the Becorns barrier out of its trunk🪵is house . they go for a walk through the grass the woods he lands, a sparrow approaches Becorns fed the bird .... a new adventure for Becorns. In STOP MOTION Movie :)✌️

You can be BOTH, a Warrior and a Nurturer. I am Both, and have been most of my 72 year Life. Real. Not imagined. I bow to your Talent for Whimsy, sir. Your work is very much appreciated! ❤️ 💙 💜
