I've nursed a few birds back to health & it's so rewarding when you see them fly off, but at the same time you've developed a bond with them! So it's quite heart wrenching. Worth the though, never hatched anyone, I can't imagine how hard that is to part with them! You become their parent for a short time. 😢😭😭😭. A brilliant thing to do.

Thank you for making the planet a more livable home and a safe haven for birds that had a rough start.

Whenever I am sick unto death of whatever's going on in the news - I tune to videos like this. And my faith is restored. Thank you...

As a guy who is also from the Netherlands, I wanna thank you for what you're doing for the animals. You're honestly living my absolute dream! Being a student living in a tiny studio, I try to do what I can when I find injured animals. I've bonded with 25 ducks around my house and feed them, let them climb in my lap, and give them some cuddles; it's the best thing ever. I hope one day I'll be able to buy a small house with some ground so I can take in injured animals rather than just keeping an eye out and having to call the animal ambulance when something is wrong. You're a true inspiration to try and go after that dream for me. Keep up the hard work! Edit: some of my rescues are now on my channel in case anyone wants to check them out!

Naww, thank you so much! I will say that I'm very lucky to leave in a country where an animal ambulance is available; it's part of the reason why I am able to take injured animals home or capture them if need be; they'll pick them up and I won't be taken on the vet costs. I can see how that may be a struggle for people who want to help, but cant due to their own financial struggles in other countries :(

When I was around five years old, I found a red bird that got stuck in a jar. I went & got my grandmother & she took the jar & helped it get out of there. I was so upset with her because she set it free. I wanted to keep it not realizing it would die if I did. I'm in my 60s & that just stayed with me throughout my life. I remember everything about that day. She loved blue & red birds. When she passed, I was sitting outside missing her & a red bird flew close to me & sat on a branch where I was looking at me. I think it came to tell me not to worry that she was alright.

I love your channel and what you're doing for these birds. With all the craziness going on in the world, your channel is a breath of fresh air, and shows that there are things we can do to make the world a better place regardless of what's going on around us. 🙏❤️

If he had incubated them, they would’ve hatched too… I guess he figured that since only one egg was alive at the moment, that that was already going to be a handful to raise as it was, not knowing what species was going to come out of the egg and all. I’m sure if there was life found in the other eggs, he would have incubated them too and risen to the challenge to raise them.

I’m Dutch but live in Ireland. When I lived in The Netherlands I actively protected the field birds in our fields by cutting the grass way later in the spring, after the eggs in the found and protected nests were hatched. But also the smallest nests of the tiniest birds we didn’t find as they were perfectly hidden and the parents were masters in diverting us from the nest location. Awesome days!

I have used chopsticks before to feed a young bird, they mimic the shape of the parents' beaks so very effective. Mine was older, it had left the nest too soon and was in danger from my cats. But it saw me as the enemy and pecked at the chopsticks when they got near because it saw them as a threat, but then realised they had food and got used to the idea. It rejoined its family when I released it.

What a cute little bird ! Thank you !!!

It took 3 or 4 guys to lift him. Lol And Noo!! The rabbits were from a guy who grew them for food (usually people, but a few of us snake people used them too), and he always killed them humanly & he'd have one ready for me when I picked it up.
