"You exploring?"
*_Shits on car_*
I got a good laugh from that, thank you XD
This comment made my day 😂
*_Thanks_*
HAHAHAHA
I laughed.
1:53 "Thats a good flight"
-Shits on the car
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha I didn't even realize that...he's marking his territory lol
If it was a Ford, I wouldn't blame him.
Lmfao
LMAO
Two years ago I commented on how much I love this video. On May 13th of this year (2022) I ran across a baby crow in the middle of the road. Totally helpless and hungry. I did all the things you did. Fed him, taught him to pick up his own food. Then we had him outside while gardening and he would follow us around. He taught himself to fly. No need to teach them. Then one day I patted a tree limb and he hopped up there. Then he started staying outside and coming down for food in the morning. Then it got to where he wasn't so hungry when he came down to visit, which was awesome. Then we'd sometimes see him with other crows, which we so wanted. Then sometimes we wouldn't see him for a day or two. Now, we haven't seen him since July 8th. We miss him terribly, but I'm sure he's off with a band of crows, enjoying his life. Amazing how fast they change. All that in seven weeks. I must say, though, that he took a lot of time to care for, and he ate as much as our cat at the end! We miss you, Jetson!
That story put tear to my eye and brought warmth to my heart thank u
Yb
Update us if/when you see Jetson again!
Dammit Jetson
❤❤
Did you ever see him "one last time"?
A group of crows, is called a Murder
They can still be in the wild and yet have a human friend as this little birdie does. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Man: Wanna try survival mode?
Bird: I'll stick with easy mode thanks.
HAHAHAHHHHAHHHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is hilarious !!!
So true he won't leave
peaceful mode 🤡🔨
Easy mode takes 4 hits of a diamond axe to kill a zombie bruh,normal takes 3
Omg this is so adorable
“In between feedings he likes to have a little nap”
Me too, little bird. Me too.
Same
the birds all of us at this point
I love naps
Lmao I think we all do friend
We get very sleepy after food, digestion takes too much energy
This man 💯 % “GETS IT”
A true angel that raised an angel 😇
Hello Erica how are you doing today
That 'angel' is an invasive species.
He is a certified Disney Princess now.
“You wanna walk around on the grass?”
“Nahh I’ll just take a dump on your car”
Been looking for this comment 🤣🤣
Bruh
Lmao
Same Ju pi
Yeah I saw that
1:56 literally shits on his car and doesn’t care. Good man.
Optimaloptimus50 50 you saw that too?
IMAJEEP Yep.
Well, bird poop is really easy to clean. Naturally, If someone got mad at a bird they nurtured and loved for pooping on their car, they'd be silly in that respect for expecting otherwise. I have had many birds and when you raise them, you couldn't care less if they pooped on your head or furniture, cause they are just so loving and look up to you so much, nitty bitty things don't matter, just them and that relationship.
Uh
@@cryppi1510 you're right. They are birds. They don't know why they shouldn't poop on a big blue metal thingy.
I truly believe this is how animals and people were supposed to interact, not at a store, just something like this.
We saved a common grackle when he fell from a nest two stories up. He was so young he had no feathers. We called him Chicky boom boom as we thought he went boom boom when he hit the pavement. We brought him up over a period of two to three weeks till he was an adult. Smart as a whip, knew his name and like you had fun teaching him to be independent trying to not make him dependant on us. Hardest thing was releasing him to the wild which we did by going away for a weekend. We still think of him years later. Only three weeks but it gave us an appreciation for the intelligence of Chicky Boom Boom and his winged friends and nature in general.
The bird in the video is actually also a misidentified common grackle
Going through his teenage cycle, shits on your car and flies away..
I can’t say I shat on a car when I was a teenager. I didn’t fly away either come to think of it.
@@plan4life well I sure the hell did
Russell Mccune which? 😉
@@plan4life I flew away of course. What kind of person shits on a car??
Poop and run.

Very true
Ya
This is so wholesome I can feel my life force expanding. Thanks dad.
This is how wonderful life could be if we were as loving and caring as this guy. Bless you.
I don’t blame the bird, this man seems like the ultimate dad
papi juan: That bird is smarter than you. He knows a good deal with a great Daddy when he sees it.
It seems so 😊
He can be my daddy ❤
papi juan why you typing like that
Damn must be nice to have a father in his life
That bird comes back to his arm like a trained falcon. That's so cool and cute!
What an unbreakable bond!
Yep
Its become imprinted!
@@schuey089 ?
@Todd M I wonder if he got it vaccinated or something. Probably not though
Raised numerous Starlings.. Love them!
Animals are amazing. Such a kind man. Thank you for saving this bird.
Of course he doesn’t wanna leave. You’re his dad
yeah
yeh the bird be like....when we goin fishin dad? can we go see a game at the weekend n get hotdogs??
@@tiarnan76 then the dad yells at him to shut up, goes out to buy milk and never returns

Now he only calls when he needs money.
Lol
Haha, or dropping off his laundry.
Lol
*Kids... how typical ! ! !* ☝🤓
You gave me serious laugh my friend. More of a LMAO laugh ;)
A dad of the year, no suprise the bird got attached to him 💗
Freedom is the greatest gift you can give your child
Imagine if people like this ran our world.
School would be more interesting
The ocean would be clean
2å million trees would be planted each year
Few well known animals would gi extinct
Global warming would be 3x slower
Less people would be sick
Etc.
Basically a semi-perfect world.
Or the animals would outbreed us and we would be prey
We could fly 😱
Well, the socialists leaders cater to people like him to destroy capitalism.. he's their prey
@Mr KAG lol
Having a bird flying onto his arm? Disney Princess confirmed.
Had same thought.
Kinda hard not to think that with the magical music playing
@the Emperor of man I thought the hairiest is Rapunzel?
Huh? Duh... A lot of people has bird pets. You sobinto Disney shitty stuff🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@brightblue2512 R/wooooosh
This world would be a much better place with compassionate people like him.
You can hear the kindness in this rescuers voice ❤
The old saying says “If you love something, let it go. If it comes back it’s yours, if not, it never belonged to you to begin with.” Guess what Starling dad?
OwO
Nothing "belongs" to us. Especially not people. Love is not possession
@K W
What, you don't believe in personal property or something?

No
Very cute
I found a little starling just like this in the middle of the sidewalk in my city back in summer 2020. There was no nest anywhere nearby and the little baby was in such a dangerous spot right next to the road. I brought it to the wildlife sanctuary about 15 mins away. I really really hope that little baby had as much success as this bird did.
Bet he told all his bird friends that he has a human dad and nobody believed him
" you liar! *flies away* "
Ofcourse you are right.
Ysaa _l.y. Well he can certainly tell his pals that his dad is bigger than their dad 😂
*theoddonesout refrence...?*
My dad has a longer life span than your dad
1:53 "thats good flight"
Bird: proceeds to land on car and poop on it
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao I came here just for this comment
"That's a good poop"
To be fair he's literally 20 days old, i bet you weren't potty trained at that age.
@OHGAS exceptionally, but youtube comments are serious business.
I love starlings. Their glossy iridescent plumage, the way they are so intense searching for worms in the lawn, their techo-like song when they are singing on the power lines for the rain to come.
Hello Gregory how are you doing today
What a sweet,gentle man
Birb: *flies away then comes back*
Guy: "Good Flight!"
My cat: *runs away*
Me & my brain: "She's gone forever"
Well I have a cat too lel when he was going outside he always came back also he sometimes fight with the other cats?
I know she'll be back but my mind overreacts 😆
@@creime5484 thats how i am with mine. She has some sneaky little beans so she's quick and quite if need be when it comes to bolting out the door. I try to walk her on her lead but shes a big baby and hisses at me when its time to go back inside.
@@thebitehandle360 same as mine but if she go out of our gate, she just looks down in the spaces and doesn't go far away 😆
Well thats is same though ya know!?
I wish the world can be loving and caring and respectful to animals
Man I just wanna get a taste of some yummy bird
pee poee lol
Cash Coda what I mean is not to hurt them and abuse them we need more people like this man
Amen.
Nature is nature. Simple like that.
🥰 What a Dad! Thanks for saving this little guy. I feed backyard birds and last year Daddy Cardinal named LeRoy brought his baby girl to me for food. Mom was standing by.
You have raised him man..so the love..you are dad for him..he is not a human to be selfish..he is goint to be with you for ever..love you both..God Bless.
I never knew how loyal birds are until we raised a duck and a goose.
I had a pet duck as a kid that we found after a hurricane. If you turned the porch light off he would peck on the door until you turned it back on. He would also jump in your lap like a dog. Birds are pretty cool
you raised a fat swimmer and the embodiment of the devil? well done
And you ate them?
t3n9 I ate them bro while they were asleep
@@mrhalfwit972 who is the fat swimmer and who is the embodiment of evil

You did a great job caring for this little guy.
This is truely beautiful.
This is what a person with a good heart looks like.
I know Mike, and he is a very nice guy and talented professional photographer. Used to photograph the rock bands that played New Haven Coliseum (in Connecticut) before it closed.

“That’s a good flight!”
Bird: *poops his guts out*
They do that
Lmao! I just noticed that!
At that moment, the man knows he had perfectly raised a bird.
Saw that too
If that was in the morning, it's called a morning poop. Birds refuse to poop while asleep, so when they wake up, they poop out all the poops they forced to not do.
I learned that from Jaiden Animations-
many people say we need more people like him but no one says we need to be like him
Good point.
It's a good thing that not everyone tries to feed baby birds, because it's litte risky and also tedious as baby birds can need food every 20 mins to an hour depending on the age and if people don't know how to feed the bird properly the food can end up in lungs and cause death. Most people should turn them over to animal rescue.
@@thewanderingartists Fair but it's the thought that counts.
@@thewanderingartists Maybe the person from the video actually knew these things, as he raised the bird to maturity with no problems.
@@Vitali_Osandor yes he did and he did it wonderfully ! but not everyone can, that's my point, you wanna save a bird but don't have the tools or knowledge to do it ? hand it over to someone who can :)
Thank you for helping him.

We found a baby Starling yesterday morning. He has some feathers. His nest is too high up on our two story house so putting him back in the nest is out. We bought a cage yesterday and we are feeding him a supplement and some worms retrieved from the garden. We were amazed to find him alive this morning. Your video gives me a path to follow in introducing him to the outdoors and hopefully his freedom in a few weeks.
Starlings are terrible birds. Should’ve left it alone. It’s legal to kill them for a reason

Aww talk about memories. Our family had two starlings as pets for years named Zim an Dib in my family. We (mostly my sister an I) liked to volunteer in local animal rescues by helping hand rearing the orphans being mostly native birds, kittens an puppies; with the occasional racoon, possum an coyote. Most are released but where we live starlings are an invasive species an cant be released, so we adopted them. Miss those fluff balls~ They really were beautiful and so loving, changed my view on them completely.
This made me misty! I wonder if the bird still comes around. Bless all the animals caregivers out there!
Bird, "Are You My Mother?"
Man: I'm not your mother, I'm your dad.
That was my favorite childhood book. "Are you my mother?" about a bird who thinks a crane tractor is its mother.
"neat" says the bird.
i'm your daddy

"Noooooooo!" (proceeds to take refuge on an antenna).
They are very smart birds, I'm a remodeling contractor and a client asked me to remove a bird nest from a wall, so, I took home five little sterlings. My kids raised them for a few weeks and released them. They used to come back every day for food, werent afraid and used to get inside my home, straight to the kitchen looking for food
they're not aggressive, too? that's nice to hear
c:
Just like kids always hungry
I'd invest in a bird feeder and enjoy company when I go outside.
Some pet Starlings can talk.
Not many though.
