Unless I’m mistaken that’s a Java Finch; they’re incredibly social birds and tend to be very interactive with both their own species and other animals. This lady gave him pretty much the ideal life with lots of socialisation with other finches as well as other animals to explore
Do they eat a lot of coffee beans?
Thank you! I was hoping someone would identify him! He looks like a grosbeak, but I’ve certainly never seen one like this. Lovely bird and great story!
@@marydonohoe8200 no problem! I’m not usually great at identifying birds but I did a wildlife report on the ones we have at my college last year and I kinda fell in love with the chonky wee boys
Thanks
@@jackwilliamtaylor5656 Love ❤️ the expression you use: “chonky wee boys.” Really a spot on description. He’s not hurting for meals, lol. 😂
This lady is Amazing! Taught the bird to fly and the cat not to eat him 😆
It would be more amazing if she taught the cat to fly and then taught the bird to eat the cat.

How fortunate was Mr Snuggles that he was found by just the right persons. What a wonderful little love story this is ❤️

When you realize Chinese killed all birds in the 1960's during Mao agricultural "revolution" because they thought they were eating crop seeds. We need a to cull Chinese population.
She’s like a real life Disney Princess.
@Carl Ferrigno Hahahahahahahahaha!
all we or the Chinese Communist Party have to be is compassionate towards living creatures in need, any, all.
The most overused comment on this channel. Please stop!
@Carl Ferrigno If so, that's pretty based honestly, little do people know, socialism with chinese characteristics, helps out the little guy with businesses, and breaks up monopolies, I'd say China is doing very well for a socialist country. Obviously though, socialism isn't the best system, I personally like syndicalism and corporatism better due to it being class cooperation and not class conflict.
@Carl Ferrigno not classic vintage disney though.
I feel like she did everything about this rescue, precisely how rescuing a wild animal should be done! Beautiful story!
Yes i am glad you mention that. Any wild baby animal should not be taken without a thorough research for his parents, and again on several days. She did exactly that, what a great person.
It means a lot to her to have your approval. Thank you.

@@Animallovercomedian Can I ask where you are from? A region... Southern or Midwest in US?

For anyone wondering, this wonderful bird finally took of to build a family. It's a good thing, even though sad of course for the family. If you're on the Island and a surprisingly tame java sparrow lands on your head, maybe it's him 😄
That's both sad and the absolute best possible ending this story could ever have. This lil dude flying free to start his own family, like damn, that's the finale to a heartfelt classic Disney film. Bittersweet, leaning heavily towards the sweet
We raised a wild baby duck and re-wilded her once she was able to go out on her own with her duck kind and it was very rewarding to see her with her own family swimming on the lake the next season. She was the only survivor from all her siblings. Her mother was drowning her when the neighbor resued her and gave her to us.

This is what the planet Earth was intended for. Humans and Animals living together in such amazing harmony.
huh? where have you read that? its survival of the fitist. its a cycle not a harmony.
Humans are animals too.
We are created to have a relationship with the Lord of Lords who created us and the animals were made for our enjoyment and for us to care for. We are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a people belonging to God and we will declare His praises, the One who called us out of darkness into His wonderful light. Jesus is Lord.
I agree.
@@jomoc6112 Mr Debbie downer
Much respect to this woman re her rescue methods, just a seriously heartwarming story. The bonus for me is rewatching this clip with my coffee from time to time and finding that such warmth and love never ever gets stale. Many thanks to her for sharing and geobeats for hosting.
The man we saw in the video is the luckiest guy in the world to be with such a lady. Grace and charm are not strong enough cause there are so much more to her. It really looks like love is in the air for this couple. I 'm glad they found each other after all.
Hard to find such lady these days... nearly impossible. If you find one, hold on to her.
@@AjitMD most people are kind, its just unfortunately most people who arent surround the people who ARE.. :(
@@AjitMD United statian feminism is destructive and created an awful position for women in society and therefore for men to interact with. All these united statian women who lower their voice unconsciously to sound like men, as compared to women a few generation back, it's just repulsive and unhealthy. Of course all the more mental unsane degeneration on sex gender pseudo-confusion (there is no confusion) all stems from that feminism path.
Ummm they are obviously quite wealthy and don't have to work for a living, you would look happy and beautiful if you had not a worry in the world 🙄

I would do nothing all day if I had a visitor as sweet as Mr. Snuggles...♥️
Hello there, how're you doing today!!!
Every night a moment of prayer that he's safe. And every morning he comes back is a gift. I love this story.
How good to bless her prayers with such a delightful menagerie of animal and birds. Sweet story 💕
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.” Matthew 10:29
That was the sweetest thing I've ever seen in my life. I had no idea birds can imprint on humans. And I love how she let him live with his flock in nature and how he comes to say hi to her every day.
Yes 👍❤️
I used to have a goose who had imprinted on me. I was holding the egg in my hand as she hatched and squiggled out of the shell. She slept in a flannel bag on my chest for the first 2 weeks of her life. Then she slept in a plastic box next to my bed until she had all of her feathers and needed to move to her house in the back garden. I would call to her every morning and she would call back to me. We were inseparable for several years. She was like a dog or, frankly, a jealous girlfriend! She would not let anyone or any other animal get next to me. Then...one morning...she didn't call back. I was devastated. I knew.
So yes...birds can and DO imprint on their humans. And when they do we humans are the blessed ones.
A lot of the local wildlife sees us the way we see neighbours. (I'm thinking urban feral pigeons.) They usually know us well and often know exactly who can be trusted and who can't.

I feel like humans and animals are steadily coming closer together, particularly the types we keep as pets commonly. When we finally reach the stars lovely animals like this will be how we survive long trips emotionally. By long trips i mean multi generational voyages, the kind we'll need to ever reach other habitable planets without FTL travel. You know what a Biodome is? Imagine that but on a space ship.
This is so stunning to watch. A bird that is free to come and go as he pleases, a cat that really wants to eat Mr S but knows not to, and bunnies sharing their food (even though they have no choice haha). Wonderful.
Aweeee that’s amazing that she played clips and videos for him to learn songs, he’s so adorable also !!
The way he closes his eyes when she pets him...he likes that so much he has to close his eyes to cope with all the enjoyment!!
I like this story and I would think 🤔 she would be able to tell by looks that he was her Mr. Snuggles. They have a special relationship and I hope it lasts a good long time.
He's in ecstasy!😊🐦💕
I have a budgie shes super cuddly and she does the same thing closes her eyes and sometimes passes out in my hand or in a blanket.
Beautiful! Yes, he is imprinted on you, but he is still somewhat wild. You have an amazing relationship with him. Thank you for being the people that you are, he is thriving!
She kidnapped the baby bird that got lost from its parents due to her feeding wild animals 🤦🏼♂️

Chickens and cows are raised for food so humans can survive. Do you want to kill wolves because they eat food to survive?

What an absolutely lovely woman and charming birdie companion. If she hasn't yet seen the movie Penguin Bloom, I think she would truly enjoy it. There's something magical about connecting with birds, especially when you give them the freedom to leave and yet they keep returning to be with you.
Penguin Bloom is now on RUclips. Just arrived as well as a behind the scenes video about it. Looking forward to watching it.
She is such a lovely person. I hope there will be more human beings like her in this world. The world needs people like her.
My neighbor told me that birds can feel and express love, but I didn't believe her.
But now I do!
I've just watched 3 amazing Geo Beats Animals videos: one about a crow in Germany that plays games with a woman, another about a sparrow that a couple rescued and the loving, affectionate relationship they had, and this woman who rescued a tropical bird in Hawai'i their sweet relationship.
I've also seen a couple who rescued a pigeon and the bird fell in love with them!

The beauty of the unconditional love, that only animals have!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He’s so gorgeous and his feathers and beak look so healthy!
Kyiv stuff....I do avian rescue in Australia. I can tell you why the bird looks so beautiful. It is living wild and thus despite artificial foods it also has access to its own 'wild diet', lives among wild friends, has strength/stamina and good muscle development, has exposure to natural climate. All because the friendship of the human did not take away through caging and exclusively living in a house all the natural needs for the bird to have a healthy life. This is how if humans want privileged friendships with birds is how it should be. No cages, no house confinement, no cutting of flight feathers to rob flight, no taking away bird friends and if you live like this you are rewarded everyday with a companionship life with a bird that is pure and free. What a wonderful video. I have a 'beautiful life' myself living with birds in this way in Australia.
@Monk Paw He is a Java Finch! (or Java Sparrow it just depends on who you talk to and what they prefer to call em)
@@cecilelyons7178 Birds prefer cages, like humans prefer cubicles/offices.

Thank you for being kind and taking care of the bird. May you lead a happy life always.
We hope you are both safe with the fires down there.Oh what a sweet little bird.
Java finches are one of the most intelligent and caring finches out there. I’ve bred them for 15yrs and you can definitely understand their behaviour when you spend time with them.
I used to have a bunch of them too back in the 1970s, until they became illegal to keep here in California. I guess the thought was that an escaped wild population would endanger the rice crop. I wondered though if they'd actually survive outdoors in the winter here.
there is a crises going on.. I dont know what the plane crash is about
I dont get why fat boy is trying to bribe police
Love how the little cutie has the best of both worlds. Nice that he sleeps with other birds. Beautiful rescue story.
Truly loving a wild animal means allowing it live anywhere it wants! Bravo guys! 👏🏼
Well done animal lovers…the little creatures are real blessings
I bonded like this with my pet chicken Tweetie. She was a runt and lived around five years. She passed away recently from old age. She was my best animal friend
❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️
Yvie: I too, had a chicken while living in my mother’s home in Puerto Rico for a few years back in early 90’s. She just happened to wonder onto her property. I named her Dog, simply because she behaved as if she were one - following me around, running up to me when I called her name, cuddling like a puppy when I stroked her. I eventually had to return to NYC which is where I’m originally from. Not certain what became of her. When asked, my mother’s response was vague. I love Dog to this day, and when I think of her, it’s with nothing less than deep melancholy. RIP my sweet.
The End.
When I was 9 yrs old I won a baby chick at a little carnival. I played a chase game with it on the floor in the house. I would crawl on my hands and knees from one end of the house to the other as the chick chased me than suddenly turn and that chick would turn and run back where we came from. When we got to the other end the table would flip again. Over and over again. This was at my aunts house...how did she put up it?

Hello, how're you doing today??
i never wanted a pet bird because i didn’t like seeing it caged. But if I did have one, I want it to be like them.
Me, too❣️ I hate seeing them caged. This is a beautiful solution to that🌈‼️
I feed birds almost everyday, about 50 at most. They recognise me. Some fly down and be a meter near me.
If I ever have one, I want it to be wild for its own survival sake. Don't train a bird to trust cats, dogs, rabbits, etc or even to trust humans. My family once had a trusting bird and he was killed by a cat.
Just beware they POOP 💩 all over if free in the house.
Yes! Birds(of all creatures) must be free!
That's adorable

Hello, everyone! This is such a remarkable story. This is a story of love, human/animal bond, and nature.
The first time I rescued a black capped warbler I discovered that birds are intelligent and affectionate animals. Since then we have rescued other chicks ; when they go away it's at the same time heart-breaking and such an accomplishment !
