    You should consider planting a field of flowers for all the pollinating insects. They'll help the ecosystem around your pond from the ground up.

    I love how youtube is so random sometimes.. You are watching tech review and youtube, do you want to see 27min long video about 5 acre pond? hmm, ok, why not.

    I'm a biologist and I do contract seasonal work (nesting season is over in my area 😢)  for ensuring osprey and bald eagles nests aren't distrubed by telecom companies and advise them when they can work on towers or I watch them to make sure they don't disturb the birds too much. I am so happy you made a tower for the ospreys and eagles! Your pond is a huge help to them and the other animals around.I have so much more to say about the wildlife visiting but I am so ecstatic that you did this! It means a lot! Do think about adding wildflowers and possible some cattails to help with insects! More food for the fish if more insects come.

    This is one of <b>THE</b> most interesting ways to spend a ton of money I&apos;ve ever seen! Very impressive. Well done, Sir &amp; thanks for sharing 👌👌👌

    Side quests:<br>- Adding deadwood and water to introduce hiding spots and spawn spots for the fish<br>- Aquatic vegetation to help absorb excess nutrients<br>- Mini wetlands (reeds, carex, etc.) around the edges for water quality and frog habitat<br>- Plants for pollinators<br>- Trees to shade the pond and provide bird habitat<br>*Use plants that are native to your area ofc 😊<br><br>EDIT:<br>- A seating area to enjoy the spoils of all your hard work

    This project turning into a wildlife sanctuary has been one of my favorite things on YouTube to watch. I just love the appreciation for the wildlife and seeing the projects try to further improve their lives and bring more in. It&apos;s been really wonderful.

    I&apos;m so glad that instead of focussing on your fish and chasing off any intruders you embraced the wildlife as a part of your operation ❤

    Was fishing here in Hawaii and met a marine biology student at University of Hawaii. &nbsp;He commented on the green algae in our lake and I mentioned how the guy on the &quot;5 Acre Pond&quot; treated the green algae... He knew all about you and the project. &nbsp;Small world... you have fans and followers all over the world.🤣

    You exemplify what being a human being can and should be; compassionate, curious, playful and generous. I have always thought human beings are no damn good. You have proven me wrong and have healed my heart. Thank you!

    Might be a good idea to register your property as a wildlive reserve to ensure its protected from any future invasion

    You know the best part of this is that some of these animals especially birds might have lost their habitat elsewhere because of human expansion and now have somewhere to go which makes it even more wholesome.
