High Def footage of squirrel taking a cashew from my hand and later being attacked by a bird

[bigwoopyouwannafight]

nice job i love squirrels I SAW A SQUIRREL! IT WAS GOIN LIKE THIS! *RABID SCRATCHING AT AIR AND TSKING*

LOL

[mattdawg420]

@bigwoopyouwannafight they are awesome :) Its funny to watch the weird things they do.

[bigwoopyouwannafight]

@mattdawg420 agreed 100%

[TyFox333]

that bird is a d*ck

[mattdawg420]

@TyFox333 Seriously! But later I found out that squirrels and birds are mortal enemies. And actually the squirrels are omnivores, so they go for birds and their eggs, so I suppose it was more a of a territorial thing. Still though, listen to him squak, he was pissed!

[xxemoskaterx0x0]

hahahahahahhaha dude that squirl got fuckin ownd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mattdawg420]

It was out of no where, I was wtf! lol. But I did a remix of the video in one of my other videos with some slow mo. And after slowing it down alot I looked at it, and it seems he might have dodged at the last second. You will have to watch the other one to be sure though, its a tough call.

[BirdSquirrelFeeder]

Took it right from your hand, I love it!

[mattdawg420]

Hehe, yeah! It took me several days the first time I tried to get them to do that before I could do it. But now, any time I go out there, I can get them to come up to me, and if most of the time get them to take one from my hand. I might just go get some more footage when it cools off a bit, they don't forage as much when its 100 degrees out heh.

[melissainokc]

lol, that's hilarious. Good job on the squirrel whispering.

[mattdawg420]

Yeah, it actually took a bit of practice to get them to behave like this. Although, any day I go up there I can do it. Might have to go grab some more footage here soon. Although I doubt I well have birds attack them randomly, but that is the intresting thing about going, is you never know what is going to happen...nature is crazy sometimes.

High Definition footage of a cashew taking a bird from my squirrel and later being attacked by hand.

derp. I'm clever.

[mattdawg420]

i would like to see a cashew take a bird from a squirrel.. that would be interesting footage.

[mattdawg420]

@TapedOn Yeah.. it is called naming things so people can find them :)

[EddieCubillo]

@mattdawg420 That is.....oddly specific.

[mattdawg420]

@EddieCubillo I suppose, but beats me adding boobs hawt chicks to the title just to get more searches. I would rather people at least find SOMETHING that was mentioned in the title in the video XD

[EddieCubillo]

@mattdawg420 Makes sense.

[h2inuyasha2]

hey matt, ur not Phat3 are you? You just uploaded those vids, right?(the TF2 Map tuts)

[mattdawg420]

I am indeed Phat3 I just happen to do more than just the mappings thing. But I plan on doing more tutorials, some comedy, and some more nature stuff here and there now that I got a good camera. I have kind of been caught up learning Blender the last few days, and have learned quite a bit about modeling. I am working with a friend in the Netherlands on a gamer engine :)

[LuigiWare]

Any news on the Hammer DVD? :)

[mattdawg420]

hehe I know you guys have been hearing me say soon, soon, soon. But I seriously fixed a problem with the pc I use for recording, and shold get started shortly. I have to get back into gear again, and I assure you the capture the control points video is going to be awesome, just need to finish it heh. After its done, the first disc should be ready, I will make a post / video about it when it is :)

[mattdawg420]

I am thinking about making a mashup remix of this footage of the highlights such as the close up feeding and the woodpecker attack at the end with some slow mo's and stuff.

[nadriel666]

awesome footage bro that woodpecker attack with no mercy and nice squirrel i mean those i my park are so stupid and they are with black hair :)

[mattdawg420]

Thanks man! And yeah I thought it was a woodpecker, but I wasn't 100 percent sure, but man he was vicious hehe. Aww kewl you got the black haired squirrels up there eh?  Those are pretty neat, I haven't seen them in real life yet. Are you in Canada ?

[kerog6]

what a descriptive title.

[mattdawg420]

Indeed, no secrets what is going to happen in this footage hehe.  But if you are searching for footage like this, I can only hope I hit one of the search trigger words hehe.

[kerog6]

i found it in the new subscriptions videos (i subscribe to you) but it seems like alot of other people found it

[mattdawg420]

Kewl, thanks for subscribing :) But yeah, I might have actually used the right search words or something, because it is starting to get some hits!

[kerog6]

i didnt thnk so many people would search the words 'cashew', 'squirrel', attack', and 'bird' at the same time

[mattdawg420]

hehe, yeah who would have thought? Just wait till I do the remix of this video.. I'm going to plug it like a mainstream youtube whore or something and see if I can use the right search words and all that to rise to the top? or something heh.

[kerog6]

use the words michael, obama, 2012, apocalypse, africa, starving, chocolate, rain, jackson, billy, mays, rick, and rolled. they seem to get alot of views.

[mattdawg420]

LOLz you know what.. i might just add that.. but then again.. I am not looking to get sucker viewers hehe. I try to use alot of search words that are pertinent to the video in a way.. although.. meh why not just open a dictionary and start filling it in lol. But heh.. oh yeah.. I am going to do a remix of this video.. so I MIGHT just some of the poplular words for that one hehe, as a test to see.

[Senseij14]

:D the end:

"Tha!"

[marlenacupcake]

:D aww it was so cute when the squirrel took the cashew.. and then that evil bird came down like a bat out of hell bonked the poor little squirrely on the head :c nooo!

[mattdawg420]

I know :) He was so friendly and nice and then just out of no where the bird comes down! I didn't expect it, and I don't think the squirrel did either! But I really hope he was okay, he was really friendly to me as far as wild park squirrels go heh.

[JoshZombee]

pretty awesome dude. what kind of sony camera do you use?

[mattdawg420]

I was debating forever on which brand and what options I was going to want and need. After looking forever, the Sony HandiCam DCR-SX40 was the one I settled with in the end. I didn't want to spend more than 300 bucks but I wanted to take decent pictures and get video, and wanted something with digital recording. This thing has a 60x optical zoom, really great for when squirrels climb away from you on a tree, hehe. Also has a flash, and just man I couldn't be happier with it!

[JoshZombee]

That has some bitchin quality for it's size. I was looking into a Digital Handycam DCR-VX2100. Only thing is that it's expensive a hell! But that's cool dude. hope to see more from you and that handy piece of awesomeness.

[mattdawg420]

Yeah I really was just going to buy a pic camera, but when I started looking and comparing models I decided to spend about $200 however, after looking further and the luck of the base model being out of stock I got the middle of the road model. And I am glad I did, as i needed the zoom, and some of the other features make this camera great. If you have subscribed look for more things to come very soon! Also, plans in the work for a green screen :)

[h2inuyasha2]

nice camera, great (halarious) footy, and cant wait for the green screen!

Great skating, squirls, and green screens? Now thats variety variety...

[mattdawg420]

hehe yeah, I like to do a little bit of everything. Just got of the phone with my brother, and told him my plans, and he is as hyped up as I am. Found a good place to get the gear, and am just debating on software. But yeah, what a channel, I got how to, nature, comedy, and gaming, with more to come :)

[h2inuyasha2]

YOU PLAY TF2??? Plz tell me you play on the computer.....

[kerog6]

he makes tutorials for maps, so ya, he plays on the computer

[mattdawg420]

The only way to TF2 :) Although I hear talk about a ps3 version eventually..

[kerog6]

theres orange box on all consoles (except wii) but the computer one is the only one worth playing

[mattdawg420]

Hmm are you sure about that? Cause there was a big deal about it coming out on the PS2 but not the PS3, although some news came out that steam came to an agreement to think about doing PS3 content. But again, as you said, PC is the only way to play hehe. Although I do have PS3 and Wii as well, I am on my PC like most of the time.

[kerog6]

i have the orange box on my ps3 and tf2 is on it. but dont buy it for tf2 because no-one is ever on

[mattdawg420]

ahh interesting, well I never wanted it on a consule anyways, and haven't actually looked to find it on the PS3 lately, so if what you say is true, then the talks with steam were fruitfull heh. But yeah, PC is the only way to go for TF2... thats what everyone says. And TF2 without other players is like a one man orgy :(

[umpalumpa101909]

XD lol, good footage, oor squigle =o, did he live to see another day? :P, what was his condition?

[mattdawg420]

I tried to find him after it happened but think he scurried up the tree, but it did look like after the bird hit him, he just kind of disappeared. And man, I hope he lived ;/

[umpalumpa101909]

lol :P, same here

[zeeman418]

i like it :D!

[mattdawg420]

Thanks man :) Can't wait to do more stuff :)

[zeeman418]

^_^!!
