Young bird filmed w/ Canon HV20 (HD - high definition)

[stagesixx]

RonBurgundy is right. The fledgling bird may fly away and may end up on the ground. The parents can aid the bird to a future and can identify the specific chirp (Robins anyway). Best thing to do is leave it if no predators are around. Otherwise the bushes are good cover to get the baby to till parents aid, but no touch. Typical mistake. Also don't mess with fawns in the grass.  They are not lost or abandoned, mother is off taking care of business while baby hides. Also no touch.

DUDE!!!! It was a fledging bird...the parenst didnt abandon it...they were watching it from a distance...this happens all the time. You touching it and messing with it killed it. Sorry to say. Google it...always leave birds with feathers on the ground alone. Parents keep a watchful eye from distance and feed it.

HOPEFULLY people learn from this. :(

Not trying to hurt your feelings. Sorry. Its an honest mistake. Your heart was in the right place.

Congratulation on the camera, I would like to have one too.

I can't say I liked the film though, and I apologise for saying so.

I'm sure you're a good well intended person.

But the video is just a bit cheap and in poor taste. And the music only makes it worse.

Animals are not toys. And if you were really concerned maybe you should have taken proper care of the situation.

[jupiterswan1]

Try and make better use of your imagination next time and find your self a decent subject to play with, I'm sure you're capable of that.

And by the way, to save the life of a baby bird it's a difficult thing you need to have the commitment and dedication to feed it every two hours with appropriate food.

And another thing, the heat of our hands it's bad for them. So you should try to handle them as little as possible. Besides most birds reject there babies if they have been touched.

[feuerwerkfreaky]

whats the name of the background song?

[africanmarty]

gary jules - mad world

[ZachNcool]

RIP bird

[WLLYLOMN]

sad

[africanmarty]

yes it was. rip little bird.

[Dynasty2317]

I've heard that when you mess with baby birds their parents reject them.

[africanmarty]

The bird had been their for hours if the parents were going to help they would have. i wasnt going to just leave it to get picked of by something else.

[Larrythedoughboy]

did he survive?

[africanmarty]

no unfortunately :(

[Westcroft]

that's honestly the sadest thing ever, lol. A bird hit my window and I put it in a shoebox and kept it warm, luckily I went back outside and he flew away.

[africanmarty]

glad to hear he flew away :) thanks for the comment.

[sofieBR]

Poor bird:(

But, I wondred if you could tell who sings that song? :)

[africanmarty]

the song is 'mad world' by gary jules

[timeismoney123]

hey man i looked most of your videos. good stuff the footage looks crisp and is exported in a really strong format. how much is total video converter?

the only thing i can say is the footage has really nothing to look at . even if its a test try to put something linear together with events leading into one another. also, fade cuts are good for documentaries but look a little "home video" if you use them to much.

keep shootin

[DanielBT1989]

That bird is soo cute :) Plus the video quality in that is AMAZING!!

I'm definitely getting The hv20

[africanmarty]

thanks mate.

[dmitrivalencia]

how sad, birds are sensitive to their offsprings. Nice video. btw howd u compressed it to youtube, the quality is really great!

[africanmarty]

you must use 'total video converter' to convert the file to flash format(*.FLV)

[AspiringPhotographer]

I would agree with the quality - even for YouTube standards, this footage is crisp!

[africanmarty]

thanks.

[rickreynolds1986]

why matty this footage is really good! i have just got after effects. How do i save the file with sound on it?? everytime i save there is no sound the only way i can get sound is if i do a ram preview? also (lol)how much is a canon hv20? as the quality of your videos is amazing!

[africanmarty]

Thanks rick, but its Marty not Matty lol.

In australia they are selling for AU$1400 ATM.

As for AE to get sound, when you are in your render queue click on 'output module' and there is a box for audio output, make sure you click that box if you want audio.

[rickreynolds1986]
