4 Hon Glad 04.07.08 at 3:04 pm

Boid is the woid.

5 Melsa 04.07.08 at 3:06 pm

The best was when they were both sitting on the feeder, before greedy-bird ran off the chickadee

6 Mia 04.07.08 at 3:09 pm

omg! i can’t believe the amount of geniusocity i’ve just witnessed.

7 Carrie 04.07.08 at 3:17 pm

This is great! Some people are so ingenious! I haven’t got one bit of talent.

FYI – birds in vid: titmouse (the little bird w/hat, black-capped chickadee and a common house sparrow) ***waiting for birdchick to come along and correct me!***

8 Anasztaizia 04.07.08 at 3:24 pm

Aaaahhhahahahaha!

Marvelous!

9 Chocolate Grrrl 04.07.08 at 3:24 pm

that was pretty good, I was really getting into that :-)

10 mel 04.07.08 at 3:29 pm

best. thing. ever.
I can’t hear this song without thinking of ‘dumb and dumber’ so I dub those two boids, harry and lloyd!

11 Blyhagd 04.07.08 at 3:36 pm

Quite possibly the best thing I’ve seen on the internets so far. I’m in awe. So much in awe that I’m going to be watching that over and over…

12 cath 04.07.08 at 3:44 pm

Was that a Whiskey Jack at the end? Those guys are mega-brats.

13 Shannon 04.07.08 at 3:47 pm

I miss my bird feeders!!!

14 Theresa 04.07.08 at 4:09 pm

Mine! All Mine!

15 lurkingsmirk 04.07.08 at 4:14 pm

This is such a perfect little clip. Birds DO have a funny little jerk that’s great for dancing…and I love the natural mohawk goin’ on!

16 Becky 04.07.08 at 4:38 pm

This is so awesome.

17 Subhangi 04.07.08 at 4:48 pm

This is the birdhouse that Funk built.

Great video. BADASS editing!

18 Miss N Casey 04.07.08 at 4:55 pm

EARWORM ALERT!!!

Fortunately, I couldn’t ask for a funkier earworm — I LOVE that song!

And cute birdies, too!

19 berthaslave 04.07.08 at 5:35 pm

21 Carrie 04.07.08 at 6:05 pm

Nuthatch at the end! Didn’t see that!

22 momof2kitties 04.07.08 at 6:18 pm

Someone has waaay too much time on their hands…

Re. Donk.

23 DaytimeDeb 04.07.08 at 6:31 pm

That’s one great video!

And yes, that song is now stuck in my head all day. But it could be worse….

24 Yubi Shines 04.07.08 at 6:48 pm

This video was made by Waverly Films. (Waverlyfilms.com)

Can you give them credit under the video?

They do amazing work and they have a lot more on their site, including “the clip of the week”, which is what this was a couple years ago.

26 WJP 04.07.08 at 7:01 pm

P.S. They also have a YouTube channel (YouTube.com/WaverlyFlams). Not sure why it’s misspelled on YouTube, but that’s them.

I see their stuff get passed around in the web all the time and it’s never credited to them, so this is my little effort to help them out.

27 jen 04.07.08 at 7:19 pm

oh that was great!!!!

28 jen 04.07.08 at 7:25 pm

1st bird = tufted titmouse
then black capped chickadee
at 29 seconds it’s a white breasted nuthatch and then the sparrow (song sparrow i think).

29 tesstricks 04.07.08 at 8:58 pm

Love birding, wish I had more time for it. I have no doubt there are plenty more birders who visit here. :) And I’ve never seen a tufted titmouse so close!

jen: I always have problems with all those darn sparrow species. :P

30 Mary Chapel 04.07.08 at 9:10 pm

Favorite song and pretty birdies! Thank you!

31 leah b. 04.07.08 at 9:11 pm

Truly wonderful gotta good chuckle out this tired lady…..

32 k. o'dee 04.07.08 at 9:22 pm

Tits?! On CO?!

Well, I never! I do believe I have the vapors!

33 hey-h 04.07.08 at 9:28 pm

Perfect! And some of my favorite birds! (Seriously, is there anything cuter than a tufted titmouse?)

34 Budgie Blogger 04.07.08 at 9:32 pm

thank you so much for that! i have been so stressed at work that i only just got to co now at 5:30pm! this brilliant filmaking makes me wanna leave work and GET DOWN!

35 anner 04.07.08 at 9:47 pm

shake yer tits! (mice)

36 Babs 04.07.08 at 9:51 pm

Too short!

37 Rachel 04.07.08 at 11:48 pm

I love this!

I’m pretty sure that’s a chipping sparrow at the end.

38 anner 04.08.08 at 12:01 am

rachel – i think you are probably right. i don’t think it’s a song sparrow, because they have a streaked breast with a distinct spot in the middle.

39 angela 04.08.08 at 1:00 am

NO! I WANTED MORE BIRDYTOWN! I WANT THEM TO TAKE ME TO FUNKYTOWN! AWESOME FOREVER!

40 WJP 04.08.08 at 1:10 am

Oops, kindly disregard my previous comment about crediting this clip. I watched it all the way through and now I see the Waverly Film credit at the end.
In my own defense, I have seen their clips on the internet with the credit removed and even with someone else’s watermark replacing it.

If you go to their website, look for “The Werewolf Solution”, their funniest short film ever.

Okay, I’m done now!

41 Juniper Jupiter 04.08.08 at 1:38 am

BWAHAHAHAHAAHA!!! XD!!

That. Kicks. ASS!!!

THERIOUTHLY!! Whoever did that obviously had WAY too much time on their hands, but did a much better job than I would have, that’s for sure!!

42 BabyOpossum 04.08.08 at 2:30 am

More! I want more funky birds! Love the freeze-frame action. I found myself doing my own little poses along with it. I was caught up in the funk.

(I’m going w/White-crowned Sparrow.)

43 Annie J 04.08.08 at 3:10 am

So cute! :) They’re so on the beat, man! Makes a bando like me happy XD

44 _tdg 04.08.08 at 6:49 am

lol nice :p

45 darkshines 04.08.08 at 6:53 am

My favourite bit was bobbing up and down in time to the music near the end, made me lol.

46 Joy 04.08.08 at 8:18 am

My mom and I were in hysteries watching the various birds bob, dance and boogle their way thru the video. All I could think of was my Robert ( parakeet) dancing on my shoulder or on my desk. Boy, I had a great laugh!

47 Barbarella 04.08.08 at 8:49 am

That is so funny! *giggles*

Well done. ;)

48 Kimbunny 04.08.08 at 10:26 am

Yubi Shines –
All I can say is,
SH-Boom!

49 LisaL 04.08.08 at 4:28 pm

Hahahahaha… that was awesome. Some people are so creative :P I never would’ve thought to edit it that way to Funkytown! HEHE

50 Silent Meow 04.08.08 at 5:53 pm

This is one video that I am having to watch again and again and again and again and again because I’m SERIOUSLY ADDICTED to it! LOL!
