The Robertson Rottie Ranch is a Blue Ridge Mountain homestead rooted in education, sustainability, and real-life ranch living. Our channel shares the day-to-day rhythm of modern homesteading—raising Rottweilers, breeding rare Ayam Cemani chickens, incubating and hatching eggs, and stewarding a working mountain homestead in Virginia.
We explore herbalism and natural living through educational content on medicinal herbs, women’s wellness, menopause and perimenopause support, plant medicine, and homestead-based remedies. You’ll also find practical skills like canning, preserving, food storage, and using what we grow and raise to support a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
From hands-on how-to videos to behind-the-scenes ranch life, this channel is about learning from the land, building skills, and living intentionally—from the ground up.

Hi everyone! Our Hummingbird Hollow stream is temporarily off line. We are awaiting Birdfy's resolution since it refuses to stream. Our Blue Ridge Birdbath is also still offline as we await the replacement from Birdfy after it suffered complete pump and camera failure. We will get them back online as soon as we receive replacements. In the meantime, we are also designing a permanent addition to Whispering Waters Mountain Wildlife Oasis! It will be the Whispering Waters Songbird Spring! We will keep you updated, and thank you for your patience!

💙 Blue Ridge Birdbath Update 🐦
Our Blue Ridge Birdbath livestream is temporarily offline.
Unfortunately, the birdbath experienced a hardware failure today. The fountain pump stopped circulating water, and the unit went offline, so we made the decision to end the stream rather than leave it running with equipment that wasn't performing properly.
The good news is that Birdfy is already sending us a replacement, and we'll have the stream back online as soon as it arrives.
Every challenge is an opportunity to improve, and while we're waiting, we're also exploring ideas for a permanent build for a future Blue Ridge Birdbath. 🐦💧
Thank you for your patience and for supporting our little corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In the meantime, you can still enjoy:
🏔️ Mountain Window
💧 Whispering Waters Mountain Wildlife Oasis
🐦 Songbird Porch
🪶 Hummingbird Hollow
We'll keep everyone updated, and we can't wait to welcome you back to Blue Ridge Birdbath soon! 💙

🏔️ Welcome to Mountain Window! 🌅
We're excited to introduce Mountain Window, our newest livestream overlooking the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
Sunrise is the heart of Mountain Window.
Each morning, watch the first rays of sunlight slowly paint the Blue Ridge Mountains in shades of gold, orange, pink, and crimson as a new day begins. No two sunrises are ever the same. Some mornings bring brilliant fiery skies, others soft pastel colors, drifting fog through the valleys, or towering clouds catching the morning light. Every sunrise is nature creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
As the day unfolds, enjoy peaceful mountain scenery, changing clouds, soaring hawks, and dramatic summer thunderstorms rolling across the ridges. After a passing storm, you may be rewarded with a rainbow arching across the mountains.
When night falls, Mountain Window becomes a peaceful place to watch the moonrise, stars shine over the Blue Ridge, distant lightning flicker on the horizon during summer storms, and, during strong geomagnetic storms, perhaps even catch the Aurora Borealis dancing above the treeline.
As the seasons change, you'll watch these mountains transform from vibrant summer greens to brilliant autumn color, quiet winter snowfalls, and the fresh greens of spring.
This is our real view from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. No recordings. No loops. Just the mountains, the sky, the weather, and the changing seasons exactly as they happen.
We're still fine-tuning a few things, including our automated schedule and camera setup, so you'll see Mountain Window continue to improve over the coming weeks. Thank you for joining us as we build something special together.
☀️ Whether you're here to welcome the sunrise, wait for a summer rainbow, watch a thunderstorm roll across the mountains, or hope for the Northern Lights, we're honored to share our little window to the Blue Ridge with you.

Just a little over a week ago, Whispering Waters was one galvanized tub sitting on the lawn with a little pump. Our deer made it clear during our heat wave our little birdbath was NOT going to cut it.
That's how it started.
One tub.
One idea.
Today...
Welcome to Whispering Waters Mountain Wildlife Oasis.
Three elevated wildlife watering stations.
Four water features.
Landscaped with deer-resistant plants.
Designed for birds, deer, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, wild turkeys... and whatever other mountain visitors decide to stop by.
This isn't just a fountain anymore.
It's become a destination.
And we're still just getting started.
Every stone...
Every plant...
Every fountain...
Every wildlife visitor...
has been part of building something special here in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Thank you for coming along on the journey.
Welcome to Whispering Waters Mountain Wildlife Oasis. Watch Live.💙🌿

Hi Friends! With the recent heat wave, our local deer have made it clear our Birdfy Birdbath is not enough for them. We are finally beginning our new, permanent, build. Join us in the evenings for Whispering Waters 2 After Dark and watch as our permanent build for our new Wildlife Oasis takes shape. Three fountains, with heights for our deer, fawns, and smaller wildlife, a removable bird tray at the top (removed in winter as Songbird Porch will have it's own heated water source), and in the winter the water will also be heated at Whispering Waters to ensure our local wildlife here on top of our Mountain have what they need. Thank you for being a part of our Journey and spending time with us on our Livestreams!

Hi Friends! We are once again having a problem with Birdfy's servers and cannot access Hummingbird Hollow and Whispering Waters to get them back online tonight. As soon as I can get access to them, the Night Streams will be restarted. Thank you for your patience today when Songbird Porch was not available due to the power outage affecting the encoders. However, I hope to have another exciting stream tomorrow to launch! More tomorrow!

Hi Friends! We have had an unexpected power outage this morning. Since Songbird Porch is on encoders, it is currently not running. However, Hummingbird Hollow and Whispering Waters ARE online. Unfortunately, you may hear the generator in the background. I'm looking forward to getting our power back online!

Hi Friends! After ending the Live Stream today for Whispering Waters, it again failed to Return to Duty for the Night Shift. We are going on our second Birdfy Birdbath replacement as of tonight after putting in Support Tickets. I'm very thankful by fall we will have a hardwired POE setup for the new and improved Whispering Waters. It will feature the Deer Drive-Thru and heated fountain. I'm looking forward to getting the current version back online, though. Thank you for being patient, and check out Hummingbird Hollow and Nestling Nook while we get the camera replaced in Songbird Porch! Isn't technology fun?
