Thanks so much for watching, everyone! I hope you enjoyed the series this year. Here is my newest video about searching for wildlife at my newest wildlife ponds: kzhome.info/crone/35N6gWaKpHzMmKc/bejne 😀🐦

This was honestly the most beautiful video ever watched on youtube. You put so much work into making this little refuge for wildlife, and your cinematography skills absolutely SHONE. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. It's inspiring.

You are doing what i would love to do, but I just never knew where to start. I love animals and nature, so this video has everything that i would want to see in a video (minus the predation, lol). Thankyou 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

"Nature doesn't waste an inch." This is so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for doing this!

This is S tier content right here. Amazing work.

Very inspirational. This went a long way in restoring hope. Thank you-incredible work!

I’m usually very cynical of youtubers trying to clickbait with impressive thumbnails and titles, but your project is truly impressive, the video even more so (narration, pacing, editing). You also are a great naturalistn thanks for sharing your knowledge. Love it.

Man. Not only you encouraged the cycle of nature, you also tamed and brought in a feral cat. This video is so wholesome and it might be one of the best video i've watched in KZhome

Thanks! That cat reminds me of 2 gray cats I took in years ago. Fester and Fonzy are greatly missed. Enjoy every minute as time flies by with any loved one. I always appreciate someone helping any abandoned animal. Also for helping the wildlife.

This is one of the most environmentally-friendly acts I've ever seen anyone do. And this is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Bless you for having done this kind act for the planet, and for having filmed all this and sharing it with the world.

This is the most inspiring thing I have seen in quite a while. Such a simple yet wonderful idea that you adopted & elaborated on to become this amazing accomplishment. It's astounding to see the variety of birds this little pond attracted. I hope you can continue to develop this and do other similar projects. Looking forward to learn more about your channel. Thank you for doing this.

That video is sooooooo incredible and took you sooo much effort to record and edit, not to forget about the amazing muscle work you've done creating that pond. You are a hero! I loved every second of it! Thank you so much! I hope you are an inspiration for many people out there to give nature something back we've taken away from it. 💚

I usually zone out about one minute into any video, but this kept me interested the whole time. Amazing content, amazing presentation, and amazing impact. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤

I've never given to anyone on KZhome before. But watching how you've contributed to helping the planet is something I just can't ignore. Thank you!

Beautiful video i got my cat recently based off swerving and taking her off the highway not a large donation but i really did enjoy this and it truly made me happy to see there are still good people in this world who collaborate their hobby with a good purpose, thank you.

That was unbelievably pleasant to watch. Thank you for this. I thoroughly enjoyed those 15 minutes that took you so long to create.

You're an awesome person. It's wonderful to see you taking time to care for the wild life. I'm so happy you took in the cat. It was very lucky to find you. Keep up the good work😊

So cool. Really enjoyed seeing the pond's progress and all the wildlife you supported and help thrive.

The journey. The impact. The art. The education we gained. Amazing content. Subbed.

I’m awestruck ❤ bravo!!! More power to you for being a medium to all those benefiting out of your efforts. Keep inspiring 🎉✊🏻✌🏻🙏🏻💐💐💐

Omg all that digging and tilling! All that work you did has brought so much life to the flora and fauna and all of us watching. You’re amazing! Thank you for sharing your beautiful documentaries. They are incredibly inspiring 🙌🏼

A Russian blue mix 😭 I’m so happy you have a new member in the family

I don't usually comment on videos but this was such a beutifully done video with amazing narration. It's so cool to see how nature can grow so fast from nothing and how so many different insects and animals show up from all different places to just this pond. I will try to watch more of your content. Wish you all the best.

We need more of you! Hopefully the wildlife will love it!

I love your re-wilding experience here. I sit for hours watching our birds, like you do. The patterns and behaviours give me endless hours of entertainment. Birds are like hand-painted spirits the mother nature gave us so we can hear music out in the forest.

This is the content I need in my life. No conflict. Just a nice guy helping nature thrive.

Amazing video! I admire all the hard work you put into this. Not only was the project hard work but you took the time to record it all and put it all together for us. Thank you for this amazing content❤

These kinds of videos are absolutely heartwarming to me, it makes me feel good to see people doing what you're doing

I love it all!! This is awesome. Your efforts provided so much to the nature around you. And giving the cat a home, put the icing on the cake. Kuddos!

Amaizing, good job! Not everyone would do something so big for the wildlife

Such a calming video. If only people that hunted for "pleasure" could learn how to appreciate nature as you do.

This man truly deserves a million subscribers. A person who is actually doing good things and helping our environment.

I enjoyed this fully, I love attempts at restoring nature. This one created an environment where a balance is stuck between what we normally see as pest but provide life for another sector which we admire. GREAT JOB.

Hi, I really love the work and the beautiful documentarion you have done. It is astonishing how lush and diverse it gets in a few months. Incledible! About what you said about mowing the wildflowers, I once heard an expert talking about this and he said that wild flower maddows attract insects from the surroundings and that many of them breed inside the dry plants (mostly in the seed containers) and many other important insects lay their eggs or burry themselves in the ground. So he recomended to mow only once every 4 years, in late spring, when all the insects have developed from the eggs and can't get killed from mowing the plants to cobtrol tree and shrub growth. And he said we should not plow, for not killing the insects that hibernate in the ground (some come out only once every 4 years to breen and then go back into the earth for the next 4 years.

This video is so important for spreading the idea that any normal person with the means can do their part to help restore their local habitat and create a wildlife sanctuary in a microcosm. You beautifully showed that with a little bit of hard work and planning on your part, nature will do the rest and everyone benefits. Thank you!

Thanks for devoting your time to film, narrate and demonstrate how beautiful nature is. I love every second, l am not very fond of cats, but it shows your love for animals. Thank you, thank you!

You have no idea how much this moves me, thank you Stefano. My mother owns a flower farm, and my sisters have taken on our traditions of growing flowers and vegetables to really help all the pollinators, especially the bees and monarch butterflies. What you have done in creating a pond though to help an entire ecosystem establish is remarkable. I have sent this video to my family, and I'm sure it will inspire them. Thank you again!

Aw I love that. It's crazy to imagine that for some animals in the video that pond was their entire world their whole life. For example the dragon flies that hatched and perhaps stayed there their whole lives... pretty wild ;)

Thank you for contributing to nature and its sustainability. I enjoyed watching this amazing video!

Thank you for your great effort and dedication. It is so nice to see the love you have shown for the whole family of Nature. On a scale of one to ten, you and yours have scored a solid twelve. Bless you.

_Hi Stefano. YT actually recommended this video to me. And I was really glad for it. This the first video of yours that I've watched. ✓_ *I watched the entire video & was quite impressed at not only your work with creating your 1st (and bigger 2nd) pond ecosystem, but also your well-produced video. Sure, I've seen a lot of nature videos on YT... but yours looks as if it could've been on Nat Geo or something similar (the quality is THAT good).* *Also, I'm very happy that you didn't 'ruin it' with excessively loud or obnoxious background music! SO many KZhomers can really ruin an otherwise great video... with horrible (or just loud) background audio! Thanks for that. LOL* _Anyway, I doubt you'll even read this comment (because there are 100's of thousands more, and most of those comments are from the 'early birds' from 4-5 months ago), but if you do, I really appreciate the overall video. And I hope 'Sparrow the Kitty' is happy she adopted you folks. LOL. She is a lucky cat! Thanks again... & I'm now looking fwd to seeing updates. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that I also just subscribed. 👍_

Worth every second of it. I wish if everyone in this world thought and did what you did in their own aspects. Being close to nature. You are Awesome 👍

This 15-min video was a lot more entertaining, educative, and gratifying than any 2-hour feature film. Good job, Stefano.

This world needs more people like you ❤

Bravo to you for building the wildlife pond. I enjoyed this video and the cinematography is just excellent. 'Sparrow' the cat is an added bonus.🍀

Great to see your hardwork and the wildlife you attracted.

Absolutely loved this! You earned a follower! Keep doing this! For us, for yourself, for the nature! God bless you man!

Every animal was treated with respect and cared for in the making of this video, honestly inspiring

What you're doing is truly extraordinary. We've done so much damage to the earth, it's amazing to see people making the world a better place. Thank you.

That was a really cool idea to build a natural pond. Beautiful photography, too!

Stefano, great job. Beautiful video as well. Thank you for the hard work and loving nature. God bless you, your love ones and all of your viewers.

I can't remember watching a more wholesome, inspiring and educational video anywhere, anytime. Beautifully written and filmed, it was intriguing to see how you "merely" set up the right conditions. Then you let (i.e., no meddling) Nature "simply" do its thing, developing a hole-with-water into an incredibly complex and thriving ecosystem. The world can learn so much from this. Maybe KZhome could get that started by adding a "wholesomeness" factor into its algorithm. It would be good for our children, so many of whom are driven to anxiety and depression by social media and video. "But hey," they think… "It's good for business." Well Stefano, judging by the number of views of this vid (approaching 20 million!), and by the comments, and by how I personally feel after watching, this is not only "good for business"... It's better for people. Congratulations and thank you.

Super inspiring! We are following this by looking on our land to find a suitable place for a similar pond.

This is one of the best things ive ever watched such a wholsome video, im a big fan of nature and what you did for them all is amazing, keep up the good work!

If this one man can bring life to a huge area like this, imagine what change we can make if more of us would also try. You’re very inspiring, I’m now rooting I could do something like this in the future.

I wish the video never ended. It was soothing to watch and your explanation made it best❤️

Very nice bro. Totally loved the video. The world sure could use more people like you.

This world needs more people like you well done 👏 ✔️ 👍

So cool. Reminds me of my backyard pond. Pretty much the same without a few of the critters as it was a suburb yard. Your enthusiasm and rewards as inspiring. Gotta do another in my new home now. 🙏

This is so beautiful! Your hard work has really paid off

Imagine how biodiverse the world would be if everyone's yard was like yours.

🌿🎥🦜 Truly mesmerizing and heartwarming! Your dedication to creating a wildlife refuge is commendable, and the cinematography captured the essence of your journey beautifully. Thank you for sharing this inspiring experience with us. It's a reminder of the positive impact we can have on our environment. Keep up the incredible work! 🌍🐾📸

Allowing all of the natural predation to occur is quite often the most difficult thing for most of us to do. We almost instinctively feel bad for the smaller prey being attacked. I congratulate you on sticking it out.

What an inspiring video. Great work! You did awesome for your local wildlife keep it up! Im sure they appreciate it:)

This is what I have been wanting to do for a while. I just found this KZhome channel, and I LOVE it. Thank you for what you do.

A man who not only loves wildlife . . . but restores it. How unusual to find.

Stefano, your work is an incredible demonstration of how one person can make a lasting, positive impact on the world. Biodiversity is central to the health of our planet and needs to be considered first and foremost when deciding how we use land. Thank you for creating a respite for these vulnerable creatures, and for inspiring us to do the same. Your impact is immeasurable!

I love to watch animal videos. Your video was definitely very entertaining. Thank you for all the time you spent , building this pond and all the animal and insects you were able to see, pass by, etc. 👍

Just an absolute delight for eyes and ears. I never thought I would be able to see something like this in KZhome.. O man..its like the circle of life, and how nature takes over.. It looks really surreal but must have took you a hell load of hardwork just to get this 15 minutes masterpiece❤

This is the type of content I don’t look for but am always so grateful when it’s recommended. Awesome content!

I am In absolute awe, where do I start? You attracted so many wonderful species, was wondering where you were, but heard province so I assume canada. You did a great job on all levels even the photography. you even took in my favorite animal, a cat in need. You have even inspired me to build my own pond In hopes of attracting so many little creatures of my own. Thanks so much ingredients from the west coast of ireland

Very inspiring to watch! I applaud your efforts at giving wildlife homes and food. I put up a large tray feeder for the birds. Very soon, flocks of doves, cowbirds, sparrows, yellow and red finches, towhees, juncos started flocking to it! I added a nut bowl for the squirrels. Even a crow came to eat the nuts. The squirrels loved it! Then two hummingbird feeders (Walmart has the best ones). I use my own mix of 1/4 cup white sugar + 1 cup filtered water. The store mix with red color is deadly for them and gives blood clots, so be warned folks. Red and green hummers showed up so happy to have this drink. Now an oriole showed up too, striking black and gold plumage. I know his call. The wasps too, love a sugar drink! There is a small wasp nest on the house eaves. They pollinate my flowers, and go crazy with joy when I mist them, or their mud nest to cool it down midday. Lovely bugs who have never harmed me. Then I saw a fledgling hawk trying to prey on the birds. He sat on my fence, frustrated he missed! Imagine that this one little feeder is feeding a whole eco cycle. I added two birdbaths with fountains, and a small ground level tiny pond for local frogs so they can get wet in dry CA summers. I have a tiny frog with a huge croak living in my wood pile. What a joy to see all these animals and know I make them happy. The singing is loud and cheerful every day, with a flurry of birds and squirrels. Nature is wonderful. If I did not rent this place I would convert the useless lawn into a magical garden with waterfalls, trees, bird habitats, right here in the city. I plan to get a small house with a huge yard and I will make it a magical kingdom and a safe retreat for all birds and woodland creatures.

I didn't even know your existence 15 minutes ago and now I'm super proud of you and what you've done for the ecosystem there. Such a rewarding experience. I do not own land but I wish I would in the future to follow your inspiration.

This came up randomly in my recommended and I can safely say this is the most beautiful and soothing video I've watched in -quite- some time. Thank you so much for this.

This is amazing. I accidentally did similar thing once and it is such a small thing but was fun. I wanted underwater plant, so I bought one and put it to live in clean tap water.. month later there were other animals living in!

So Beautiful Just what the world needs. Not only are you building your own bit of Paradise, you are saving so much of the wildlife. While I was watching your video, I was watching a Blackbird come down and clean himself in my all natural natural fish pond 😁

Вы замечательный человек. Спасибо за ваши труды.

I love listening to your voice and your pond and your video and will definitely be looking forward to seeing more of your videos..... they're sooo perfect!!! I'm also glad that you and your better half were able to gather a new member of the family, in adopting Sparrow ❣️

10 million views in 2 months. Well deserved success, man. Your hard work and love for nature is evidant, and the amount of effort and passion you have for conservation is refreshing.

I love this video. It is heartwarming, educational and inspiring. Highkey glad it showed up on my feed. Please keep it up. This is amazing photography and horticultural work!

Amazing. Watching this video is like seeing life. Those part right in my side and I didn't pay enough attention to them. And this video gives a super high resolution to the birds I never had enough time to see. Great work.

This is the first video I watched of yours, I had to subscribe. I had an vision of purchasing land and building a wildlife pond just like you did here. Great Job - you gave me lots of good advice - thanks Stefano - awesome work you did here...all the best with your future adventures. 👊😄

Hurray! Jumping spiders are the puppies of the spider world with an extra bit in their eyes to detect color and movement. I raised a bunch (200?) of native ones and they were so much fun to watch and interact with before I freed them in safe areas, What a great video for all of the living creatures including the spirit of the man creating it.

my gosh, thank you so much for your hard work!!! it was truly delightful to see this video and to listen to your adventure :)

This got me teary-eyed for some reason, if only every person on this planet makes an extra effort to care for it then it can create an impact big enough to sustain a healthy environment both for humans and wildlife. Good job man!

That was a beautiful film! I really appreciated the efforts taken to rejuvenate local flora, which is essential to attract local fauna, and hence continue the whole cycle.

Thanks for taking the time to record, edit and post this. Wonderful.

Believe me , I got stunned to see your effort and struggle for the nature but your contribution indebted me . More power to you ,

You did a very good job creating a nice ecosystem for all those species. I have a small pond, and I am very excited because, last year, a frog came live there. Now I think another one came too. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience

This was an amazing video. You make me remember being young and being fascinated with every aspect of life. As we get older we lose that. This was a awesome watch. Thanks for this. Made me wanna build a pond at my family’s property too

Imagine if all humans united to do something like what this man did, we’d build a paradise..

Thank you so much for your videos… im new here but this video truly made me smile and have a sense of calmness. Please keep making more videos like these I really love them and I am currently subscribing. P.S. I LOVE the happy ending with the cat… SO CUTE!

Awesome job!!!! Doing what you like to do (photography) and helping out the animals... Good on you!

Thank you so much for what you have been doing, it is so inspiring.❤❤❤

This is so great. I wish I was away from all the stress and enjoy nature.

I don't remember watching a more wholesome video on KZhome. Your passion and dedication are heartwarming.

I think this just about the coolest video Ive I've seen on you-tube in a while. You are an inspiration to us in helping protect and foster our home planet. Kudos to you, wonderful cinematography, very educational info. Love that you saved a feral kitty. Kindness, compassion and competence. Bless your Soul!

Legendary video!! Thank you so much for doing this, it's very inspiring 🙂

Well done mate that is something that fill the heart !!!! Wish you all the best and hope you do more goods in this world like that !

I've been slowly changing my Minneapolis lawn over to native flowers/grass/etc. It's so cool to see so many spring birds all over my lawn eating seeds from these plants and I cannot wait for the monarchs!
