There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel

David tells us what you’ll see in this video:

• An introduction to Becorns by David M Bird: I create characters by building with acorns, sticks, pine cones, and other nature craft materials. Then I take them into the wilderness and photograph them with birds, squirrels, chipmunks, frogs, and other wildlife.

• I build a birdhouse to attract a family of Eastern Bluebirds and they build a nest inside.

• I draw/sketch out a plan for the story I want to show with my little acorn people.

• I show how to build an acorn man using DIY arts and craft techniques.

• I share what I learned about character design and storytelling as I worked as a designer for Lego Bionicle.

• The bluebirds lay eggs, the eggs hatch, and the baby bluebirds begin to grow.

• I show my photography techniques and process as mom, dad, and a juvenile bluebird fly in and out of the birdhouse with worms, grubs, and spiders to feed the baby bluebirds.

• I try to photograph the fledglings as they take their first flight from the birdhouse.

• And finally I share the end product of this crazy fairy garden acorn art project.
