Bird Buffet: A Home-Movie Production

Posted on January 26, 2026 by Karima Hoisan

Hi everyone,
well it certainly seems I’ve been stuck in  “Bird mode” in the last few posts. and this is yet
another look:)
Some of you will remember this time-lapse of my window-sill feeder, taken by my daughter Poett and other shots mixed with my very bizarre music and poem.
I hope you will give it a look and a Like:):)
This time I give you a  home movie shot on our phones, of our home bird feeder and property in San Isidro de General, Costa Rica. Some migratory birds, the little Tennessee Warbler, for example, come every year to our window-sill all the way from Canada.
Feed the Birds. Be Kind and Thoughtful to our feathered friends.

Original music,  poem and editing by me. Polished does not describe this video, more an amateur production , but made with love for our birds of Costa Rica.

      Awww thank you Dale…we all love our home birds and all birds and have been feeding them for maybe 40 years!!. Everybody added some clips from their phones and it was a lot of fun to put it together and write the poem….Watch Birds instead:)

    What a wonderful break from the screen is right and I love the buffet of birds local and far even from Canada! This is the kind of screen that makes me happy all over! Such a wonderful poem, filming and music and I love the appearance of the sloth. My favorite remains the toucan. WOW you are the kindest to feed them soooo well, year after year they will be back to the best gig in town! Yayyyy to the bird lady that make all of our days!!!! Awesome, Karima and your kidlings too!!!! xoxoxoxo

      Wow Cindy…even with all you have going on in your life, you took the time out to leave me this fabboo cooment,…Oh I love it especially because you let me know how much you enjoyed my little crew of outdoor amatures, preening and eating and flying around doing their thing…My favorite is mama chacalaca feeding her baby…they are so prehistoric looking almost like a Velociraptor with more feathers… and there they are …in front of my desk like 2 feet away. Thank you so much for watching and commenting and if you feel you’d like to copy and paste your comment here (https://youtu.be/ip5ak1vA9I4?si=1Rg1EpG0nMt5bHa1) lol I will reply there too:) Hugs n Hugs🤗

    What catchy music and what a good time to bring this back. We need to find our escape from the news where ever we can. This is great, I have seen your beautiful and creative bird feeder before, but I never knew that birds like bananas until you shared that with me. The poetry is great and I love the time lapse photography as well. Just a lovely piece and I can’t believe how many birds you have at one time. So nice of you to feed and water our beautiful birds. The older I get the more joy I find in the pleasure of bird watching. They are amazing creatures and I really enjoyed this. Thank you to everyone involved. What a treat and I wish it wasn’t too cold to see any birds right now. Love you Karima.

        Dearest Karima, I absolutely loved it and could not believe the amount of food you let all those beautiful free flyers dine on. So gracious of you. I would want to sit by the window all day, and listen to them sing. Scott watched it with me. Tell your daughter and son how much we enjoyed it, please. I always leave a comment on YouTube but after trying for ten minutes, Scott was assisting me, he said that YouTube had to be having issues.
        Anyway as usually it was just a trip and I had to watch it twice. I enjoyed it as did he. Scott said to tell you he is sending back a big hug.
        I am doing good, feeling blessed. Alhamdulillah. 🙏🙏🫶🫶
