brigitte dale #412 mockingbird

[lovingsnow92]

BTW, your laugh is soooo cute hahaha

[lovingsnow92]

HAHAHAH, i think he might stick his beak in the crack! hahaha, sorry, immature, i know.

[immasupernerd]

yay uploaded on my birthday we love u brigitte

[osumarko]

I know its been 2yrs since but I still wonder about Maynard. I wonder if he ever found someone.

[NotADeadCat]

I wonder why i am attracted to certain people lol

but i am an anthropology major so they tell me about it a bit <3

[MrNividium]

I feel sorry for the Mockingbird. Then I thought about myself and how I have been single for the past 10 years. Thinking maybe I should change my song, but at this time in my life, I am all out of songs to sing and will remain single until I die.

[yourfriendthenerd]

This video kind of makes me sad.

[Bombdiggity207]

poor Mainard : /

[broadwayxlover4]

HAHAHAHA this was hysterical.

[dhfhdfhd]

No refined sugar, or no sugar at all?

You are still alive so i guess the first :)

[sweetsugarpurple]

This is my favorite video of yours.

[ere583]

oh god... what are you smoking?

[sweetsugarpurple]

Maya!! Don't say things like that!!

[Zlyzer]

I think you thought it through too much :P

[MissPussyKatz]

I felt like there was going to be a reinactment of Kat (or Kit I forget) from failure to launch hehehe

[stf337]

Hey Brigitte wear ear plugs honey, everyone needs sleep...and sugar.

[southernontariorocks]

i don't think there is anything wrong w/ u, n fact i think u r 2kewl:). maynard must think so2:S

[uzernam302]

lol poor maynard. but hey sheet happens. im sure both the bird and you will find your partners in due time xD.

[ahuizotl8]

Yeah me too. I understand the mocking bird but you?? Don't know why you are single... Let's go out!!! You can get sugar every day n' night!! I have weird blood.

[odinata]

Thank you so much! I love NOMO's (I was a field biologist in Nebraska and we abbreviate bird names, thus NOrthern MOckingbird=NOMO, WEstern MEadowlark=WEME, etc. etc.)  Wow. So I'm not only boring you, but I'm irritating all of your other fans with inane...ness. Sorry guys. I just really like Brigette--and annoying things that aren't trying to be annoying but are--like birds in the morning--and me sometimes....okay, a lot.

[odinata]

I meant that I really like Brigitte's video stuff. Not her because I don't know her. Not that she is bad. I just mean I don't like her as a person, since this is the internet...I'm sorry. Can you erase this? I think Northern Mockingbirds are cool...is what I meant to say.

[hoh8511no]

your eyes...I can't see your eyes.

[byronhiggs]

i'm chemically attracted to goofy DANCE OFF comments.

More shennanigans please!

peace be with you

[xadlite]

I feel for Maynard!

Who knows though...maybe the poor guy's selected you as his target and thinks he's impressing your with his wicked vocals! Avoid wearing anything feathery, and whatever you do, don't let your phone go off around him.

Gorgeous smile at 1:47!

[KrazyRawb]

Hahah youre funny

[NatFlyer]

so this is the only vid ive watched so far, and your already competing with vlogbrothers for my favorite vlogger....aka you pwn, hard.

[SeeBillyRun]

if possibly, can you provide an update on maynard's situation... i feel for the guy... haha.

[Jackle61]

I think you do some of your best work when you haven't slept well. I still watch Jan. 10th, 2008 every now and then,,,, when you got all deep on us ridin' in cloud shadows and weird blue light. ;)

[almalinda06]

i completely agree. and Jan 10th WAS a good episode

[ailailailishXD]

I didn't think mockingbirds were real :O

[livealoha84]

lol the birds single...I think every gurl is attractive in some way or another, I call that the Mario Williams philosophy (send me a message if you want to know the story behind that), so every gurl has a chance or should have a chance with any guy and visa versa...yes, including you too blue eyes haha

[SlyFoxDeveraux]

Okay is THAT the bird that starts chirping for me, like, religiously at 12:30 AM? I mean... I don't think it's also Maynard. 'Cause that'd be weird. But is it a mockingbird? I'm also in LA and when I moved into my new apartment not too long ago, there's been this bird all doing that. For weeks I had convinced myself that it couldn't be a bird 'cause that's just too damn early for a bird - but I've since decided on the truth.

He's annoying.

[jeffe2222]

it doesnt have anything to do with genes....

nice try though

[SwingLeft]

I'd like to stick my beak in YOUR crack~!!

Love you~!!

[WindEnergy]

Sign:

NO MOCKING 10pm - 8am  NO EXCEPTIONS

VIOLATORS WILL BE TOWED

[frumpyframpton]

Conversation I had with the start of this video:

"Hey how are you?"

"Well, yourself?"

"I'm Brigitte."

"...."

"...and I'm tired."

[epist4xis]

They don't like crows - so get a plastic crow (or some black cardboard).

It's obvious that he'll stay single as long as he sings in your garden, so help him to get away (and buy a crow)

[bikenik]

Hee Hee..is "Maynard" code for "Brigitte"?

Perhaps you should try to get more in touch with your 'animal self' which might allow you to hook up with that "hairy mean guy" you feel attracted too. You can make some strong healthy babies with him and then when you eventually split up, you would have reason to seek out that nice 'beta guy' who will help you raise the children.

[Noctambulist47]

Shoot it.

[michaelaranda]

He might stick his beak in the crack.

[nomenclaturetube]

At least Maynard is better than the notorious "Mocker" who verbally abuses truckers late at night on their CB radio.

[talk74]

I would point out the slight flaw in your logic at the end but I'd hate to detract from what was a great video!

[Triwood1973]

I really liked your "telling two stories with one bird"...

[DanielakaBigd]

Birds always tend to squawk at the wrong time. When I go to do a podcast, my bird makes herself known every time...

[ToneeRhianRose]

Haha! I used to have a neighbor across the street & he had a mockingbird that could mimic his phone & he'd be outside watering his garden & that bird would make that noise & he'd be runnin in & out all day & he never could figure out why there was no one on the phone. XD

[Hexmath]

Fantastic opening shot.

[conxcience]

sounds like your echoing inn that room.

[Saraswatifan]

Maynard's singing to YOU. I don't blame him. I sing to you too, but I'm in France and it doesn't carry, I guess.

There is a solution, though. For Maynard, I mean. Record his song one night, then play it back loud to him the next night. He'll go away. He'll find a second best and settle down and be fine.

I Googled and found an article entitled "Mate switching and mate choice in female Northern Mockingbirds : facultative monogamy"

Hmmm. Facultative monogamy. You might want to do a piece on that.

[TunesAndStars]

cool opening

[JERRYBOLAK]

beter to have loved and lost then to never

have loved at all ( sure )

you should make hi a girl friend

some feathers and a cork he won't be lonely then.

[NeuroticoAnonimo]

mo..YEAH...cking...YEAH...bird­...YEAH...yeah...YEAH -and so on; the point is that you now have that song in your mind.

[whitefloweret]

I wished you would have imitated the mocking bird. Then you would be turning it around on him.

I think I sing because I'm single. Maybe that's not it....

[AntiCliche]

The genetics might be there, but I fear that the 'everything else' that comes along with it is usually the deal breaker for me.

[pinksheetmillions]

That was a reply to audionautix. WHY don't these replys thingys go where they BELONG!?

[pinksheetmillions]

Does Maynard groom himself? Or is he even trying to get a girl?

I can see why he'd choose to hang out with you though.

Solution-Get a med-large cage, fill it with happy things, open the door, put it close to his perch, stand safely inside your apt. Gently tap the cage with a long stick(or a string setup). Encourage Maynard to enter the cage. His true path will become clear to him.

[osumarko]

i can sympathize with Maynard. I play my guitar hoping to attract a mate with my music. Only I'm not that good at it yet.

[dustyb58]

Penrod? Maynard?  Brigitte, don't have children. ;)

[TheAceManHimself]

It's not too late, Maynard!! Hang in there poor guy!!

[bearhuntaa]

sssshhhhhh.

[dimduk]

Cut the tree down,problem solved.

[audionautix]

nature is very businesslike isn't it?

We humans have all these fantasies about love and spirit, when really the whole process is simply a chemically driven dirty biological trick to keep the species going in order to produce another generation of people on which to prank.

[pinksheetmillions]

No trick to it. it took many millennia to create this love dance, enjoy it.

;-)

[andreous7]

Hairy men is becoming your theme lol

Is that hairy face, of hair in general?

:-)

[Prence]

Oh the humanity! What about Maynard? Will someone please love Maynard the mockingbird! Before it's to late!

[ThatNerdfighter]

try leading it away. hang a bit of fruit next to the window. then every few days, hang another on another branch and take down the one next to the window. then hed have to move to get it, and eventually, maybe, hell sing on the other side of the yard. which wouldnt be as bad.

just a suggestion.

[HarveyHopkins]

immortal fo-sho

[dspid2404]

Maynard is a mocking bird. He's mocking you. Thats what he does. You need to pretend your Mrs. Maynard and he'll leave because he's gotten used to being a single bird and he's stuck in his old ways......wait.....That might be me.....holy crap.

[ToManyPhones]

Aww, Maynerd

[WHIMSICALindeed]

it's a sin to kill a mocking bird.

(To Kill a Mocking Bird-very good book)

[dstone2004]

Damn! I'm also O+...my hopes are dashed. :(

When Maynard gets on your nerves, sing the mockingbird song to cheer yourself up.

watch?v=G5f_gbzo4Q0

[galindium]

That bird needs some poisson to end his lonelyness, and to let you sleep well. You see you will be killing two birds in one shot. (or only one bird in this case)

[Writious]

Maynard likes you. You like your cell phone, he sees that, and trys to be like that etc.

[cheekychen]

have you considered asking Maynard out on a date?

[spazzles14]

dear brigitte:

is it a bad idea to confess your love to someone via email?

theres a chance i wont see them again, and a small chance we might meet at some random function.

so with the chance we might meet, and i/he could get embarassed, is it a bad idea? what do you think?

you seem like someone who would give the right advice, or some good advice.

thank you :) x Sara

[daisytree1]

Sara, please watch my next video :)

[byronhiggs]

dance off? DANCE OFF!

peace be with you

[Bombdiggity207]

@spazzles14

NO WAY!

you were the one she chose, congrats :P

[thewatcher1997]

you're so pretty :)

[file83]

Two words: BB gun

Problem solved ;P

[360shui]

Feed him some bird food laced with SHUT UP

[soicanpost]

I've noticed that at the end of all your videos my cheek muscles are sore...

:)

[toeofdestiny]

We all love you, and we are a happy bunch. Why don't you join us, and just love yourself too?

[thankgodcpa]

well first off you need to lift the curse off of him that you yourself cast and that is of course the name Maynard. Switch it to Ramon verbally out loud ASAP and watch your troubles fly away....... Sleep well!

[EricJaffa]

Are you baking anything similar to cupcakes, like muffins, since you gave up refined sugar?

[Blargaldalien]

Hello,Brigitte.

You are the second person I subscribe to who has been mentioning a mockingbird. I have one here too.When he acts up,just play Blackbird by The Beatles,this may confuse him.

[daisytree1]

what a coincidence, that is the ONLY song i can play on my guitar. maybe i was playing it too much.

[Blargaldalien]

Arrange a duet...

[StringFearist]

maybe play some music and see if he'll mimic something soothing. Maybe change your ring tone to some kind of lullaby

[nbwulf]

The mockingbirds outside my bedroom usually get the hose... they're soooooooooooo loud. Maynard may be single... but he's getting wet.

[supricky06]

haha oh maynard....

[BLACKMAGICNIGHT]

nice job, brigitte !

[BigStockHancock]

I feel so sorry for Maynard. Hope you sugar detox is working for u. Not that U need one. You are awesome. Crap I have drifted off the point. Tell Maynard good luck, for me. Later.

[CAlex6977]

Ohh Brigitte you make my day. Wonderful thoughts. Maybe a mockingbird is your opposite and he is trying to call you on your cell.

[danno1111]

A pigeon layed eggs in a empty flower pot on my patio when I was away for the weekend last spring. I left it, thinking it'd be neat to see pigeon chicks hatch and learn to fly, and not thinking about the pounds of bird waste that would accumulate in the process. I also hadn't taken into account the fact that pigeon chicks are ugly as sin.

Needless to say, as soon as they could fly they were discouraged from coming back to their nest, which was a task in itself; supersoakers were involved.

[evilmarc]

You just got mocked.

[sLeepPastNooN]

good news, I can stop waxing my back hair!

But seriously, did you not get your vitamin b12 yet? do it!

[RAMKING61]

I'd rather have a mockingbird annoying me than the mocking gang member I pissed off in my neighborhood.

----

Naming him Maynard is not going to help his chances.

[Olphus]

Poor Maynard:-(

[Selnyk]

You seem my opposite.

:p

[bwhahrhr]

birds do imitate cellphones, thinking they, the cellphone, might be a partner for him

[meggxshammx22]

this is really ironic because i always thought that you looked like zooey dechanel and in the movie failure to launch she shoots a mockingbird because she can not sleep. just thought i'de let you know haha.

[Raphaelus13]

Am I the only one seeing the obvious answer?

Bridget, marry the bird!

[NCDan]

Use to have the same problem with a mocking bird. I guess he got lucky or the cat got him.

[edAVP1138]

A bee bee gun would take care of that problem real quick...

[joefileman]

Something very similar to the mockingbird thing happened to me and I remember asking in my quiet voice... Why are you mocking me? But that's just weird. Anyway, don't let Maynard fool you. He's probably a player of a bird. Singing a mocking song - pssh. My quiet voice says playah. Good luck on the Fiesta venture BTW.

[hazbeen39]

maynard is a kickass name. too bad that cell phone sound thingy is not working out for him.

you have the most common blood type? i thought that the prevalence of blood types depended on geographic location. india, for example, is supposed to have a lot of people who are type B blood type.

[hfsjansharr]

"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us."

[xapc2]

Brig, you have the most adorable smile I've ever seen (go to 1:45). How can you be single? I have no idea.

[fyrestorm359]

Poor Maynard, hopefully he doesn't get his beak stuck in the crack. 0.o

[spidy23]

So does that mean I should be looking at hot mean girls? ;) Hmm, doing it all wrong!

Seriously though... I love being single! One of the most unattractive sight to see is when you see a single guy/girl just desperate to be in a relationship!

Anyway keep us update with your new found friend. Mocking Maynard :)

[funeralsong34]

Ear plugs or they have some sonic items that repeal birds but its so high pitch you can't hear it. They use it on homes as I remember to keep birds from nesting under raftors on the house. try looking into that.

[humanzed]

have you put some speakers by you're window yet? you know ..to teach it some cool sounds

[daisytree1]

no but that's a really good idea

[jhoney313]

Poor Menard. I'm sure one day soon he'll find his mate and then you will be sad to see him go but happy that he's found love.

This sounds like the makings of a children's book or maybe a short film? Hmmm....

[crayonlookingbrush]

Could it be that Maynard is singing to you? hehehe

[MadSmokerBBQ]

fire cracker.

[Iam404notfound]

Can't you pay to have the bird removed and relocated somewhere else? I have no idea if such a service exist though.

Surely it will fly off sooner or later? Drop hints when it's in the vicinity that Spain is nice this time of year :)

[MSCookiepants]

*whispers* it's not too late to find someone

(:

[Devourer09]

I can identify with being single. :<
