For those wondering, this is, in fact, a Zebra Finch. She should start learning to fly at the age of 3 weeks, so I hope you keep us updated !
We have Finich's where I live and my daughter is in love with them. Now my daughter is 7yrs old and she loves learning about animals.
I had to bring my dog to the pet store, so I could pick out a new toy for her to destroy. I brought my daughter with me and I had to show her all the animals the store had for sale.
One of the type of birds they sell is a Finch. I tried to explain to my daughter that is throwing a temper tantrum in the middle of the aisle we were in. These birds are very high strung and jumpy. They don't make for good pets and will fly away the very first chance they get.
Personally I don't understand why they sell them for pets. But after 20 minutes of kicking and screaming, daddy gave in and bought a Finch for her. Now I had to buy the cage and everything for her.
The first day the Finch got out and flew into the window in her bedroom. I was praying that the bird just knocked itself out, but unfortunately it didn't. There were so many tears in this little girl and I knew she was heart broken. The 1 bird that she loves watching feed at that the bird feeder, she had. Then not 4 hours after bringing it home, she reached in to give it more water and the bird got out.
So we went back to the pet store and I bought her a cocktail. This has been 3 weeks in and that bird hates my daughter and loves me. Every time my daughter sticks her finger out to let the bird climb on, the bird bites her. She does the worst thing you can do in that situation. Never pull your finger back, no matter how bad it hurts. But she's 7 and doesn't understand yet.
Sorry this was longer then I expected. I wish you the best and please take care.
@@jasonwebb1882sorry you can’t stand up to your child and make her understand no means no hopefully you figure that out before you raise and little tyrant
@@jasonwebb1882children have got to learn, and what better way than to give them those chances. Now your daughter knows that daddy was right about finches and hopefully she learns that animals have personalities just like people and you are able to help her figure out how to navigate with the new bird ^_^
@@jasonwebb1882Zebra finches are social animals. Getting just one is incredibly bad for their mental health. Get that bird a friend and get the cage a lock. A 7yo should not be playing with an animal she could crush with one hand.
Yep, that's what I thought based upon what was flying around in the aviary.
I never in my life would have imagined being so happy to see a bird poop. That little one is definitely a fighter.
We miss so much, beauty and tenderness in life….🥹
You Win for the Best Comment, i felt the same way lol
Thank you for the video it is truly amazing and beautiful to see such tenderness and love for little baby bird...made my day.❤
And what a poop that was ah….all nicely wrapped in a lickle package!
Imagine pooping like half your body weight 😅😅😅 The relief!!! 😂
I finally found something worth watching on RUclips. Thank you for giving me hope for humanity.
I uploaded my goat's Story kindly watch.
😂😂🤣
Isn’t it fascinating how something so small can have such a big impact on our hearts? This video reminds us to appreciate the tiny wonders that are often overlooked. 🐦✨
and such a big package that comes out of its bum
Birds are everywhere. Why are they overlooked?
Not at all. Out kindness is a testament to our humanity. Just be aware, only some of us are actually human. We are the most powerful destructive species in existence, we can do evil with this, or do good. Make the right choice.
@@fuzzywzhe Yeah right, dude. Thanks for stating the bleedin' obvious.
@@sandgrownun66 It is not obvious at all. I spent 30 years going through game theory an evolutionary psychology to understand this, to truly understand it.
I have a high degree of doubt you understand this at the level I do. I don't think most of you things are human like I am. I have come to this place through reason and logic, you just accepted it without any any consideration or thinking at all. If this is the case, you are merely an unthinking monster to me. It takes time and thinking to become human, are you human? You should really consider that.
Stimulating baby animals to release the "package" after feeding is one of the steps of hand-raising that often gets overlooked. Kudos for showing it, so aspiring animal rescuers can see some of the less glamorized parts of the process.
I’m glad someone acknowledged this, because I was just as pleasantly surprised to see this actually get covered as well
That was one hell of a huge “package!” 😂 It looked bigger than my parrot’s poop! At the very least, it was definitely bigger in comparison to it’s body than my parrot’s poop compared to it’s body size!
That was the part that really surprised me.
I AM PROUD OF THOSE OF YOU WHO MANAGE TO READ THIS WHOLE THING. I SEEM TO HAVE WRITTEN AN ESSAY.
Its the same in puppies sometimes. We had a puppy named cinnamon who had nerve damage in her throat at birth, and therefore could not drink from her mother without it coming out of her nose and her having to stop to breathe, and for this same reason she couldn't be bottle-fed either. She wasn't getting enough food because of this and wasn't growing fast enough. So during the day I would feed her every few hours by putting a tube down her throat and into her stomach and filling her stomach with a mixture of goat's milk and her mother's milk(yes, i milked a dog. The mother has important antibodies in her milk for her puppies.) Before this i would have to stimulate her to toilet and afterwards I would burp her. Tube-feeding can be nerve wracking because you have to be sure that your tube is in the stomach and not the lungs, or you could drown the puppy. You also have to ensure that you don't over feed them, or they may vomit and inhale the milk. On top of this, cinnamon was so small and wiggly that it was difficult to keep her still. Luckily when she and her siblings were being fed grool(dog food softened with goat's milk, puppy formula, or water) she was able to eat it better than she could drink milk and i didnt have to feed her as much, but still had to make sure she got enough nutrients. After she was eating only dog food, I no longer had to tube feed her and she would also drink water on her own. She still makes strange sounds and sort of coughs for a while after eating or drinking. For a year or two after being weaned, she would occasionally come running to me and start circling my legs with foam coming out of her nose and her mouth hanging open(this is because she cannot breathe) and at this point i had to swing her with her head pointing down(there is a way to do this without hurting the dog, please dont swing a dog unless you know what you are doing, you could cause brain damage) and smack her sides in time with her attempted coughs until she started coughing on her own and stops acting agitated. This would especially happen if she ate anything bigger than a piece of kibble. Now, she has either figured out how to chew her food or her swallowing has improved somewhat, since she hasn't choked (that I know of) for at least 9 months. Although, after eating or drinking, she makes a sound that is in between a cough, a sneeze and a gag for a few minutes. (My family calls this a harfle). Cinnamon is very closely bonded to me and will follow me wherever she can, and will snuggle with me any chance she gets.
I was surprised at how big it was in comparison to her. Very interesting.
thank you. i learnt something useful and important. Do chickens need the same to deliver a packet? Ducks and geese too?
The love of small helpless things is the most manly of attributes
True!
YES !
💯
YES!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉‼️
100%!
the world needs more people like this. He looks so passionate about his work.
man im so proud that there's a human being that is so passionate about every life he has in he's hands. Greeting's from Polnad
This man is a legend
He's dr doolittle
Literally a legend !
He absolutely IS! 💕
❤
And we need people like him
How fragile and yet how strong. With her see-through body, her struggle to digest, she is safe in your expert hands. Thank you for each little one you save.

Her little skin is so delicate. You can see her crop fill with feed, and the way her color changes when she lets go of her package. You are so amazing with these little ones.
This man has been caring for animals for years. Have watched many videos and he always gives 100%. Huge fan!
The joy on your face when going to rescue an animal is heart melting. The way your big hands are so gentle with the tiniest babies shows the true nature of who you are. I have watched a lot of animal rescuers. While most are genuine, I've never witnessed it change someone as it has you. You deserve so much, not just for what you do but for the love and kindness behind it. I see the ugly/evil in humanity every day. You help me realize that there is still hope. With love from South Carolina, United States

This!! Beautifully said!

And from Ontario, Canada.
And from Texas!!! ❤❤❤
Omg, that "package" she passed was rather large. I did not expect that 😮
Same!
A couple of years ago he rescued a tiny bird that fell out of its nest. He nurtured it carefully all along, and he was delighted when the little one started to turn its little bum up in the air and extrude a neat little package for him to take away with chopsticks right before feeding time. It was the cutest thing…he would approach, and up would go the tiny bottom.🖤🇨🇦
she practically gave birth to it!! Strange how it's half her size!Perhaps because she needed "stimulation" to dispatch it so was holding it for dayss
Right?
🐣She passed a “package “ so cute! LOL! What a wonderful/beautiful video!❤
I rescued a baby pigeon, it had its feathers. You have to have someone to feed and care for you while you care for the baby bird. It's not an easy job. It's why there's two to raise the little things. This man is amazing. ❤
WOW!! That's tiny. You're the perfect man for the job. Your love n care is amazing and inspirational. Such beauty. Thank You for bringing the furries home protecting them. Much love to all, furries included.
Your baby dinosaurs make my heart so happy!

I always called my canary this way😂
It's actually a bird.

It’s a zebra finch! I can tell by the beak and spots on the tongue when it hatched, and how the eggs are about the size of a bean. I had to incubate and hand raise 4 of them when I was 13. A rat had gotten into my house and attacked and killed my male through the bars while I was sleeping. My female completely abandoned the nest after that. I used a homemade incubator. This was back in the late 90’s before I had access to the internet, so I begged an owner of a pet store to give me the number to the breeder they got their parrots from to give me a run down on hand feeding. All 4 of my baby zebra finches hatched. Feeding them the first week was scary, I was scared of them aspirating every time, and getting food into that tiny beak (a moving target at that) was like a game of operation but more intense 😂. I weaned them and they lived a good life. I’d let them free fly around the house but no matter what room I went to they’d fly to me and land on my head. I miss those little birds!!!
You sound like an awesome lady with whom i'd enjoy knowing. Not only does the universe thank you immensely...I applaud your effort and persistence in getting those precious creatures back to (well ... i won't ask what happened to them for fear the answer would make me sad) so i'm gonna presume they flew off into the wild to live happily ever after. Finally...I'm enormously envious of the joy you must've felt from having had that experience.

Aw!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful story and your wonderful heart!❤
That's a precious memory, thank you for sharing it 😊❤
im watching through your videos today, a day after my childhood cat passed away, and tearing up at each one. the care you show each and every animal that crosses your path, no matter how small, is enough to make me cry even on a happier day. but watching and reminiscing about raising my cat from when we found her in a barn, ignored by her mom and only a few weeks old, makes them even more emotional. thank you for all that you do and for caring for these little lives with such dedication ♥
It must be very rewarding to see them grown up and knowing you got the to where they are and without you they wouldn't have ever survived!that's incredible patients and time!
patience
This is one of the most precious things I have ever seen. Birds and Bees I love them so much. You are so gentle.
0:43 He looks like he’s making an interesting meal here... Clearly he’ll be hard boiling the small eggs, while the bed of wild rice boils/cooks underneath the eggs, right??? 😂😂😂
I agree. His videos make me teary in a good, awe-inspired way😊
The hatchling was so tiny and fragile! Your skill and kindness inspires us all. Thank you.
Omg shes so cute awwwwwww ❤❤❤❤🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🩷💜🩷💜💜💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷🩷
Awesome to watch what a kind and dedicated man
Bless . Her exit package was almost as big as her. A delicate step in every way, wrapped in love. X
How can something so tiny deliver something that big? Amazing
@@TJay41 Got to eventually have space for an egg, so it stretches the area for that future use.
its crazy to me..i cared for a baby quail until we could find a rescue and the first time he pooped i was scared that his guts came out bc of how huge it was.
he liked mashed up bugs and "worms" made of strips of spam. he was sooo cute. i hope you grew up well, Scuttles
I have to say, I cried through this whole video for the sweetness of life, and the tenderness, and love of the caregiver… This was almost sacred…🥹🥹🥹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Man the way you fed and took care of that little baby bird is amazing, thank you for sharing!! You are as amazing as they birds you film!
I come here because this man genuinely is a beacon of hope and his videos lifts my spirits. Was the first channel I watched after losing my dog as the videos are heartwarming.
Sorry for your loss. A hard time. 😢
I’m so sorry for your loss, I know I’ve been there… 😥You obviously make an excellent parent… Please consider adopting a lost,and lonely, heart broken Doggo, at your local Humane Society… There is a special heart there waiting and longing for you… That will reward you 10 times over… You have a lot to offer, don’t waste it…❤😊 so many animals need help…🥺😥💔
Oh my goodness, so incredibly TINY!
yes
🙏💛
It's the smallest bird in Europe.
Those are priceless experiences to be able to nurse an abandoned helpless life and give it a chance to thrive ❤️
I have raised many macaw babies from the egg, but to see this is really a thrill. When you got that first drop of food down her little throat it took my breath away. What a great job, Dad! I know I wouldn't have been able to save this baby, so tiny, you've done an incredible job. I'm excited to see what she grows up to be.🎉❤
Oh dear I'm crying, your tenderness with these tiny little ones. Gets me right in the feels.😊
Right!😍
I keep proposing marriage but he hasn't responded for some reason 🤔
I cried too. So kind.
I am crying, too. What a gentle, kind man. ❤️🫂
I thought I would be the only one to blubber away! I found a small red salamander this morning so maybe I am just feeling tender.
This little one needs a lot of subtlety to be well handled. Heartwarming to see such tenderness in caring for this tiny not-yet featherball. Please, keep us updated on her development. And thanks a lot for caring and sharing❤
Jedesmal aufs neue ein kleines großes Wunder. Was für ein süßes, kleines Vogelbaby.
Bless you for caring for these tiny little helpless babies! They are precious and you are truly a saint 🐣
I'm so happy to see a current post, and to know that you are still out there, performing miracles for these tiny creatures! what you do is amazing, and beyond wonderful. Thank you!
You sir are one of the kindest and gentlest human beings on Earth. Just the way that you are so delicate and careful with this tiny little one is heartwarming. Never change ❤
My goodness, it`s the first time i ever see such a tiny tiny baby bird - you are a great father, thanks for saving her life a wonder of Nature ❤!❤👍
Can’t say it enough….. how much of an angel you are. ❤ I love you
Her teensy squeaks melted my heart. Surprising that much sound can come from such a tiny creature!
I am not having the best day but these videos give me a sense of peace and happiness watching him help the helpless. Thank you so much.
Me too!
It is fascinating how tiny and vulnerable this baby bird is and gentle dad is with her.😊😊😊❤❤❤
This is so precious and heartwarming to see someone care for this tiny creature!❤
This video is as sweet as can be. I love birds. They are such amazing creatures!
I cry tears of joy when I see life in these little eggs. How absolutely beautifully heart-warming to see them developing and moving, and then when the egg hatches and this precious little life emerges, you care for it so tenderly. Thank you. 🐥🍼💌
Baby birdie… I’ve always loved your videos. I have a soft place for wild birds and when I find one that needs help I help it. Using knowledge I’ve gained from your videos and books I’ve learned how to hand raise tiny birds like this and it’s just amazing. I love being able to help a little life through the world.
That was amazing to watch such a tiny creature being saved and cared for by such a lovely kind fella
Love watching your channel, the way you care for these creatures is so touching
❤❤🤗🤗
The joy I feel at seeing a new life welcomed into this world can never be described. Welcome little one, were glad you're here to say hello.
Such a tiny, precious little baby! I can't wait to see what she grows up to be ~
😊 It told in the video. That helpless baby bird is a zebra finch.
You give the world so much hope and I am uncertain if you realize how deeply our world needs hope!!!!
Thank you!!
Oh my, I held my breath at her first feeding. Your work speaks volumes of nature and inspires others to care. Thank you, keep up the amazing work❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
how quickly this little chick grew in two weeks is astonishing. nature is fascinating, and has so many little lives aided by your dedication to helping them survive ❤
Absolutely amazing that a creature so helpless and delicate can survive. So good to see her strengthen.
I do know how dangerous feeding them can be. U r the birdman. Congrats on all ur success.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You got to be very very kind to those small birds!
Thank you for saving this precious baby 💕
This video has made my day, I love birds. It's amazing how tiny and fragile, yet strong, and fighting for life, baby birds are. Thank you for sharing this little miracle you made happen.
When you think about how much life force, how much heart and raw will to live is contained in that tiny fragile little body, it's mind staggering. So far I've rescued and raised 15 birds, all but 2 were pigeons, and every time I do it, I'm in awe, not only of the creature itself, but the vast infinite power of the creator who made it, and I am humbled once again.
What a lovely gift on this particular morning. Thank you.
Thank you for your loving care. Many tears watching this
This is Dedication and knowledege , great shots with excellent focus , thank you. Welcome Albert .
Oh my gosh how sweet! Imagine that tiny little life in the palm of your hand. Just absolutely amazing!
Man I love zebra finches, used to have a bunch, it always amazed me how the parents managed to feed such small beings
Your care for helpless creatures and kindness gives me hope for us all. 💝
This channel is amazing to watch! Outside my home, there's a hole in a dead tree, with a growing young bird nesting inside. Once in a while we can hear it calling loudly for its mother to feed it, and sure enough, after a while the mom will fly in with some food. It's real live action that's also enjoyable to watch.
SHE IS SO SMALL OMG I CANT. You are an amazing person
Oh my gosh this makes me so happy!❤😊. Love seeing the way she started to eat, and the gentle way you take care of her!!😊😊❤
We are all glued to the video rooting for the chick. Amazing save. Thank you for sharing your story
Absolutely fantastic!!! I love how tenderly you care for those little birds! God bless you richly for all you do for them!!!😊❤😊❤😊❤
This is so amazing to watch. A new life hatching on Easter Day❤. Thank you for this miracle.
That tiny little life in his gentle hand 🥹 such an amazing and beautiful thing ❤
What a beautiful job you’ve done in caring for such a tiny one!! Such a delicate soul you have! ❤
The way she "shipped" both packages was insanely adorable 💕 precious little jelly bean, thank you for helping her sir!
another miracle baby bird, she's amazing, thanks to all your hard work, love, kindness and patience she's thriving.. 🐣🐥
It was great seeing how strong she became so rapidly and what a little piglet she was becoming as feeding time arrived! "Gimme, gimme, gimme!" 🙂
Aww I just love that you swoop in immediately to help and rescue these beautiful babies to give them a chance. Thank god this little one had the ability to grow and develop! Please keep us updated on her/him
"Swoop in" haha
This bird is the most fragile and smallest I have ever seen... But this tiny one has a strong will power and the rescuer has will power of patience...
That first crack on the shell showed signs of hope in life and a new beginning. Thank you for sharing and all the best.
You made me so happy and so sad at the same time. All the best of life for this little guy. ❤
What an amazing rescue video! I have never seen a baby bird that was this tiny before. Thank you for saving this precious little bird and for sharing these heartwarming moments with all of us. God bless you for the wonderful work that you do and the extreme gentleness that you show in raising these young birds.💕😊🐣👍🙏🏻💕
People like you who love and care for these wonderful creatures. Really, you are titans. How wonderful. Thank you so much.
Thank you,that tiny life,so small but yet so hungry! I’m learning so much,wow!
That's adorable and I know your joy : ), I grew up on a farm 100 years ago as a kid, I found lots of baby robins storm dropped or from blue jay raids, but for them their much bigger and durable, my mother and I would raise em, interduce them to nature which would take over for most, we had a couple males over the years that wanted in the house when it got cold and would stay for the winter lol, it was awesome as a kid to see a robin nest right by the back door the house and a friend from last year that came back all proud to show me what she made.
wholesome as ever , just innocent and heart warming , your way of making videos are down right awesome
Every time i watch one of your videos I am in awe of your kind, gentle heart. If more people were like you this world would be a much nicer place ❤
Such a kind and compassionate man!
You are a blessing to this world sir!
Thank you for saving such a wonderful and beautiful baby!
May God Bless you always 🙏🥰♥️
The tiniest things can bring such great joy. ❤
Alwyn, please keep us updated on this Zebra finch. We'd love to see him/her fledged!! ♥️
such a tiny bird and yet so unbelieveable cute
A week or so ago The Mighty Algorithm suggested your content I have enjoyed seeing your expertise in raising these tiny birds since then. They are in very good hands. Best wishes for all you do.
I pray that you keep strength in working so hard on each individual cases. Amen❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Gosh!! How carefully do you always care for such tiny and fragile creatures!!❤ I do not think I could have managed...
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing that touching experience, for it was good to see the hatchling survive. You did a beautiful job, caring for that baby bird. 🐥🍼
This is so calming to watch. Thank you for taking care her. 😊❤
That was a huge clutch for a tiny bird to lay! Thanks for taking care of this little one!
It must be very difficult to handle her as she is so tiny! Such a lovely thing to see, thank you.
What a wonderful compassionate story and so fascinating. I hope Albert is doing great, which I am sure he is , being in capable hands. Thank you for showing this most memorable video. I love you all and little Albert ! A friend always !
Little bits of life
must be cherished.
You are a steward and caretaker of this world-
Well done.
Thankyou for giving this little one a fighting chance, this video made me tear up. You started my special interest in birds and conservation of wildlife, I can never thank you enough
Woah, that "package" was as almost as her whole body, bless her tiny soul! Lovely little birdie, we'd love to see her growing and flying around you while you're out taking care of your garden and the rest of the animals 😊
I am always fascinated at the way baby birds produce a neat little package for the Parents to dispose of away from the nesting site. If they just dropped it over the died, a predator could easily find the nest, and eat the babies. It is an amazing survival tactic. I remember the first time Alwyn had a tiny bird that fell out of its nest. He came to the nest to feed it, and the chick did a kind of headstand, and up went its tiny bum…then the package appeared for him to take away with chopsticks. He was delighted by this clever trick. It was a couple of years ago…but so sweet.🖤🇨🇦
Precious gifts that some of us have the honor of opening. One day a little cat showed up at our house, he would follow me from the utility room, as l went outside to hang close up on the close line, l looked down to crab another piece of laundry and smokie was right there with me, that went on for awhile next thing we noticed he was gone. I have often and still to this day l look up beyond those clouds and smile. He not only needed us, but we needed him. The heart wins again. Look at the shape of the heart and notice someone always has their arms wrapped us. Just one more thought, this takes me all the way back, to high school graduation on the seventies, looking through the messages people signed in my annual, l came across this, you didn't walk in front of me for you knew l might not follow, you didn't walk behind me for you knew l might not lead, you walked beside me and became my friend, l am blessed to have had smokie for a brief moment while the clock of life ticked by. And all the little friends since then, hopefully many more will be with me for not only my life, but more importantly theirs.
Thank you for sharing that experience with us using good close up footage. Made my day!
What a blessing you are to care and nurture this wee one.
Hello. I’ve watched your channel for awhile and I’m continually amazed by your work. Can’t imagine what it’s like to have the time and patience to feed that little bird every hour while closely monitoring her. Keep up the good work
My heart always feels so warm when I watch your videos. Everything about them fills me with joy: The kindness on your face, the gentle and reverent way you handle the eggs and babies, the lovely and perfect music, and of course the baby birds themselves. Thank you for all you do to save these precious little lives, and to share these miracles with all of us around the world. 🐦🐣😍
What a truly wonderful man you are. Little soul is so tiny, such love.💕
Idk how I found this creator, however, thank you for putting this good compassion out into the world. I'm disabled and wish I could do this type of work, my hands are unpredictable which makes them unfit to do things like this safely.
I've cried tears of joy with every rescue you've done that I've seen. You make me hopeful that more humans will become inspired to care more about animals and how they can help. You're truly amazing. Thank you.
