      ​@@RobertEFullerYes, I adore these longer videos. Each story I've watched of Jeff and Jenny deepens the story arc. It's more and more a love story about parenthood. You've shown us how a loving father is with his progeny, his responsibilities. You attend to their need for sustenance with your feeding post. You are eager for their arrival and excited at their first flight.

    • @RobertEFuller
      @RobertEFuller  Год назад +9

      Jeff was amazing i try to help wildlife when they need it and keeping them as wild as possible is my priority the easy option would have been to bring the keslets up on my own but they get imprinted on to humans making it harder to release them, it was risky trying to get Mr Kes to learn but it paid off as they all fledged as wild birds
      I was so pleased it was him that took up territory here at Fotherdale
      But we were all very sad to have lost him

    It's nice to see someone watching these animals and lending a hand when absolutely necessary. I've watched channels that could have but didn't intervene under the nature taking its course excuse. It was terrible to watch. Being a city kid, I would pick up dirty, injured pigeons and keep them on my roof. It was hard for me to walk away from a hurt animal and it still is.
