The Tiniest Bird You've Ever Seen - Zebra Finch Hatching

  • This is the smallest bird I've ever hatched. After a little Finch had lost her partner, I was asked if she could stay in my big Aviary. When I returned home after picking her up, on the way back she had laid an egg in the little transport box! Birds only do this when they have an egg that needs to be laid.
    I knew there was only a small chance she would accept and hatch this egg in an actual nest herself, but I wanted to try before I set plan B in motion…

Not saying he does that but people did way worse for way less money. Personally i dont know this guy irl, i dont know if he deserves a medal, i am just happy the Finch seems to be doing alright. And if he does that because its the right thing to do then this guy definitly is a big chad. I just cant be sure thats the reasoning behind his actions is what i am saying.

      Yeah birds are weird. When mother birds feed their young babies, they literally stick their whole ass beak into the babies mouth and vomit up food directly into an area in the upper esophagus called the "crop." When birds finally eat on their own, they also collect food in this area before it goes in the stomach. With the baby, you can see the yellow food in the crop after the feeding. This is why it looked like the baby bird was trying to swallow that feeding tube.

    My husband is a wounded vet here in Canada that has had 14 brainsurgeries due to his on duty injury and… has two intra cranial shunts in his brain to keep him alive.
    Both shunts are failing and he is and has been dying the most slow and miserable death I have ever witnessed.
    As a result of many things my health has been giving out as we raise our 3 children that are now pretty much grown.
    The two younger ones, boys have grown up with dad having brain surgeries and thinking that was normal until they got old enough to understand and now.. it fills them with dread.
    It is so sweet to see the careful loving way they have with their father tho.
    The reason I am writing this is because my husband spends an awful lot of time sitting and watching tv.
    His injury was a training accident and Phil is the gentlest soul (he worked on avionics in military jets + taught avionics for a time at the military college here in Canada) so when I came across this channel I figured I would show it to him.
    You see… Phil’s parents were immigrants here in Canada and our last name is Hoolboom.
    Based on our last name you can guess that he is Dutch, a Dutch Father and an Indo (Indonesian Dutch) mother.
    Phil as a child and teenager went to Holland to visit with family and was raised in the secure knowledge that tho he is Canadian.. then he IS DUTCH!
    So to the point.
    I showed my husband this channel and I have not often seen him react in the way he did.
    He started with (because I thought he would only have energy to watch a couple of videos) 2-3 videos and had such tears in his eyes@each one.
    Then he kept going…
    At some point I fell asleep on the couch beside him, only to come to with Phil just drinking in each video, one.. after the other.
    He told me he found them so beautiful, so uplifting and he loves the work being done for the animals.
    The smiles I seen on his face off and on that night were so heart warming and since then I come across him checking out a video here and there.
    I just wanted to thank you… for giving this help to the animals, but also.. for giving so much more to so many.
    We are with you in spirit while you help the wee ones and.. we will be watching!

      @@arthur4494 It does. If I remember correctly, Mary Carl said that they will keep asking for food even after their crop is full. I think she said you go by feel and stop when their crop feels firm because that means it's full. It was pretty cool watching her demonstrate with her baby pigeons. They had feathers already, but when she lifted the feathers we could still see the white food through their skin. And she showed how it was still squishy before it was full.
