Is this man a wizard?! He's doing bonsai, wild birds flock to him. It's magical.

"I hope the robin is not distracting the viewers." I was totally distracted by the robin.

The robin has so much personality 😊. Made my day to see something so worry free and just happy to be alive

Love the robin! So cute! Robin might become a bonsai master.

"In the years to come the robin, having learnt the art of bonsai, taught four teenage squirrels how to prune for interesting shape and wire properly..." :D

Imagine the robin thinks he is the star in the videos and tells what Peter is doing: " And here you can see how Peter shakes the worms out of the root ball by turning and moving the tree a little. Sometimes he uses other methods to get the worms out that are very ineffective, like putting wire on the tree and bending it. Well, that also results in getting some worms out, but I think he needs to rethink that method..."

When you put the juniper on the turntable, I was like "where's the robin, where's the robin, where's the robin", and when he popped up, I literally cheered out loud!

Suddenly a robin appears next to Peter... hmm he lives in a beautiful house with a garden, has a group of faithful helpers, animals like him... it's confirmed Peter is a Disney princess.

that Robin getting all those one on one Bonsai lessons for free

That robin needs his own KZfaq channel 😁

The bird is not a disturb, it's an additional adorable moment, that shows the unity with the nature)))

Love the little robin just waiting for his worms 😍

I have been so enjoying your latest videos. Especially the one where walked around and demonstrated how many plants you found in the yard that he could us as free bonsai material. Here again in this video your showing that even plants that look to like they’d never make a suitable bonsai. Peter not only is an excellent teacher with a wealth of knowledge to share, but he also makes a conscious effort to show that bonsai is accessible to anyone with limited investment. Most, if not all, of the most popular bonsai channels on KZfaq are nearly the opposite. Cost was always what kept me from getting into Bonsai, and I thought that way because those channels never offer alternative options for costly materials. I’d always thought that was such a shame. After I discovered Peter Chan, my thinking changed for the better forever. Thank you again for showing me and so many others that anyone can start practicing bonsai. BTW....who thinks Peter is a wizard or Disney Prince or something because he’s got robins landing on his hands while he works? Looks like paradise!

The little robin, the bonsai and Peter. A great and harmonious meeting of nature. A great job, especially the last tree shown.

I really like how the first one turned out. Makes me think of a lightning strike. And the robin is adorable how its not afraid of you.

The robin certainly is gorgeous, I love his attitude!! He’s a great addition to the videos.

I am first and foremost here for the bonsai lesson - though that robin just makes me smile every time. "I hope the robin isn't distracting" you say, and the robin comes running like you said his name! Such a sweet little thing

Sunday breakfast with Peter time again. 18:06 feeding time 26:10 oops but loved watching it again Both trees turned out great but the first one is stunning. Stay well Stay safe

This little robin prancing around patiently waiting for clippings small enough for it and watching you is one of the best things I've seen in a long time. Combined with your soothing explanations it's wonderful.

Thanks Peter. Two nice trees from a good demo. Nice to see Robin around still.

These "rubbish" trees, after Peters touch, so much resemble the work of Nature and have a quality that transcends the grandiose traditionals. Kinda like the uninhibited drawing of a toddler compared to a Rembrandt. There is so much, if not more, to appreciate in these "undesirables". Thanks for showing us how you bring out the best of each!

That robin is adorable! Shows how wonderful of a person you are that it isn't afraid of you

Thank you, Peter, for another demonstration of what can be created from "impossible" material. For those of us who cannot afford, or do not want to purchase, finished bonsais, impossible material is what we get to choose from. It is inspiring to see what you can do with it!

That red bark coming through is incredibly stunning.

Mr. Robin does not distract me at all. I find him as a fascinating helper for you by looking for any insects in the root ball and cleaning them out for you. Great bonsai student.

The Resident Robin is no distraction. It's a delight.

That one downvoter needs to get a life. Thanks for another excellent hour spent with us, Peter :D

It's a special kind of presence for a bird to dance around sensei & his work.

I love the Robin too!

Love the robin...so tame...salute u sir.

The calm demeanor of Peter is which probably explains the reasoning for the robin getting so close and or worms getting free of the roots as well. Yet, Achieving that level of calm in which birds aren't too nervous around me is a goal of mine.

I love the part about, when you copy, it becomes more of a craft than an art. Perfect direct comparison :)

That rockin robin made my afternoon more enjoyable....and less boring!!

I really admire you. You are doing what you love and your heart desires. I purchased my very first Bonsai in 1978 and the second one in 1982. Needless to say that both died since there was not much information about Bonsai those days. Now, I am retired and learning a lot from from you. I am intending to create a few Bonsai and find your videos extremely useful. Many thanks.

I just love the bird.. It says so much about the artist.. Thank you for your videos. ❤

Heartwarming... looks like your mascot was hungry 🙏

I enjoy all of his videos, but especially this type. It has helped open my eyes to the almost endless material that is growing in weird, stressed places or mishapen nursery stock you can find on sale. They can end up as fabulous bonsai ! Thanks for the lessons, Peter!

I LOVE that first tree!

The Robin is learning and being amazed by Peter's bonsai art.

I think there may have been a mistake in the editing on this video, as there were a couple of repeated sections. However, despite that, the information given in all of your videos is wonderful and has inspired me to start producing some of my own bonsai! Currently, I'm waiting on cuttings from 2 different types of willow to root, and I can't wait to see what I can do with them!

Sunny Sunday morning and Master Chan... best way to start the day

im also here to comment on the robin. hi bird.

The bird is a good addition to the video. He's your sidekick now. I think the impossible tree turned out great.

I am a landscape gardener and the red throats come with us every day...great video

I think the second juniper despite all its traditional issues still makes for a very pleasant overall effect when all of its unusual features are considered in concert. If the foliage is further refined with a little more wiring and after some new growth comes in over the next couple years, I think the tree will probably appeal very strongly to certain customers who like a natural look.

Curious Robin 😘 .. Thx for sharing Peter 👍 turned out to be something indeed. Next one pleased 😁.

Marvelous Learning from u is so liberating The way u said that all bonsais dont have to look the Japanese models Peter u r so.adorable to us Ur Bonsai tutorials aee studded with moral tips too Thanks a ton I am also working on a difficult project , hope to send u pictures when it takes a final shape

Love the chimta “Indian plyers”❤️🧘‍♂️🌳

Even the animals love your work 😍

the Robin absolutely stole the show 😍😍😍😍😍💓💓💓💓💓💓💓🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴

The resident Robin!! ❤❤❤ I love watching Peter work; creating such beautiful trees! I’m new to Bonsai and am finding this Channel to be inspiring and entertaining as well! And, yes, the little Robin WAS distracting- but in the most delightful way!! Thanks for a lovely Saturday evening of beauty and inspiration.

If anything bonsai masters are real artists 🙏

Everyone seems to think it’s the same Robin , in reality there is a whole family of them , they just look like each other 🤣🤣🤣🤣. They can become very tame . He’s always there to critique what Peter has done 😂

One man, one tree, one bird. Peter is a zen master no doubt. Greeting from China, Master !

Yes, yes, the bonsai lessons are quite nice... now make a video about how you train the birds to come and talk to you...

This is Knowledge transmission to it's finest.

5:53 I love that the Robin just pops its head up.

Exactly in South Africa and love the peerieneef style. Not sure if it's world wide recognized but use it on my local trees

Oh!! Good to see the little robin is still around.

Love how that little bird is just hanging around your turntable ❤️

The trees turned out great! And the Robin was not a distraction at all. It enriched the experience for me to see how calm he was around you, and it warmed my heart when you gave him that worm! You are like Dr. Doolittle!!

That first one really came out nice. I’m sure after a season of more foliage filling in it will be amazing.

Thx 4 having this time with you. Now I understand what bonsai is meaning, it's religion, it is opsession, it is sen ... Only seeing the truth, the middle, the nature... It's now and here... freedom and peace and nature.

Peter, you may have to consider changing the name from Herons Bonsai to “Robins Bonsai” !

LOL just re-watched this after a long gap this year. I initially didn't get distracted by the robin. Robin has appeared in many other videos, so I thought I was immune. Then I listened to the first three mins, thinking (as is the case) "Why do I like listening to Peter so much... well, I suppose it's because in a lot of the vids he's done, and from being at the nursery, Herons gives off a very relaxed feel.... it's not about detail so much as enjoying the tree... see, he's doing it again, he's not super critical, he's just telling you some of the ways to enjoy this entire thing we call bonsai.... ahhhh." Then at 3:00,when he's just said "Inexperienced people try to wire the big branches, but the little branches will always look better, do you see?" And the robin peeked round the tree with an expression of "Oh really, fascinating, where are the worms in the meantime?!" Nearly fell of my chair laughing. Then had to re-watch a couple of times. Great video as always, and not just for The Robin!

That robin is adorable, it must really trust you to get that close!

2:17 and 18:07 The moment the Robin eats the worm.

Peter is the Snow White of Bonsai:)

The second tree that you removed the bark (jinned?) off of the back short branch; gave the whole tree a good measure of depth. Lovely. A well-known artist once told me, that, when you think you are almost done, leave it for an hour, or a day, then go back to it. seventy percent of the time, you find that your work is finished. And as you said, always step back once in a while as you work on a project, to get a better perspective, a feel, for your project. I have not not learned something each and every time I watch your videos. Thank=you, dear sir.

Lil bird bud its all up on this one! Heck yeah!

The robin is the star of the show!

The robin and Peter! A great day indeed!!

More birds in your show please.. absolutely adorable!

It is always a good morning when I get an alert that you've posted a new presentation. Bonsai is the art of man interacting with nature. In your situation, that sweet little Robin makes it nature interacting with man. Cheer, Dick from Vancouver.

The robin is so tame, I love it 🤩

That robin is the best! Knows Peter is cool.

I am so grateful knowing your style sir. Thanks a lot. These may apply to mine.

That’s awesome 👏🏻

Another great video thank you once again x

I saw this record before ,but I never pay attention to that bird...lol how cool is that's !!

king 👑 Red Robin the bird 🐦 he loves you and is addicted to your videos like us Bonsai Fans 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🍀

I've rewatched this video like half a dozen times now purely to watch the *Robin*

I think Peter could plant a broom stick and grow it into a beautiful bonsai.

I loved this video! Peter, we love you friend! Delightful!

Robin's bonsai. ;)

Robin was very cute.. he does seem to want to learn, but gets dizzy on turntable.

Thanks so much for creating masterpieces of bonsai. I really appreciate your words of wisdom as you teach. I Iook forward to the next video.

Good morning Peter. In addition to doing something incredible with difficult material, it teaches us that all art implies innovation, that it is good to recognize a bad decision, that is absurd to spend time on what no longer has a solution or that sometimes you have to get away from a problem to find a solution. And all this working bonsai with a little bird flying between his arms. Marvelous.

Distracting? No way! The robins in my yard know worms are there, too. They watch me like a hawk when I dig. What a cutie.

This little robin loves Peter 🥰.

Outstanding. Hope to see the Robin in more videos

Those trees turned out amazing! Thanks for sharing. Oh, love your robin, waiting for food!

Love the Robin.

Thank you from Stratham, New Hampshire. U.S.A.

The little bird returned .... Greetings from Italy

Thank u for your awesome video cuz I learned a lot about your style bonsai watching here in Davao city Philippines

I like both traditional bonsai, and trees that look more "natural." So really appreciated you creating these lovely specimens, Peter! Thank you for adding so much interest and beauty to a sometimes bleak period!

That bird is cool as hell hangin with his buddy..."whatcha doin ...,why ya doin it"?....huh...,huh

Cute bird! 😍✨

Peter upstaged by a robin!
