For 12 minutes and 10 seconds I totally forgot about this world we are living in nowadays.
Thank you so much for that. All the best and let's spread the love. ❤😇

I'm so impressed you were able to see the little toe not moving properly at such an early stage of its development, that really helped the little one get better sooner!

In a world full of cruelty watching you is a breath of fresh air.......

My goodness, this reminds me of taking care of our little deer mouse, Bean. She was probably less than a week when we found her. Hardly bigger than a dime. I fed her kitten formula with a tiny paint bush. She survived and lived a happy life of 4 years in a large aquarium. She was extremely playful and affectionate. She died at the end of March and I still miss her.

I cried so much watching this because unfortunately I think in this world we've forgotten the "little" things that help the earth in entire. And such large hands with such a tiny creature. If only there were 5 billion more like him. May we hope for their future. ❤

Every time I watch this channel, I find hope for humanity.

I once raised a tiny cutthroat finch like this because it's parents weren't interested. So rewarding. I used to say "come on Dickie" when I was feeding it and eventually it started saying it back to me! It was my constant companion for many years.

Whenever one of your videos pops up, I know it will be the highlight of my day.

Something about this feels almost sacred… Taking in such fragile little lives and giving them a chance they wouldn’t have had.Beautiful to watch

I really like the way this man worked hard and nursed those tiny little babies with determination. I really salute this man.

4:00 i cant believe i geniuenly thought you were about to pour the baby bird an espresso

@ivy.rosegold 1 year ago

as someone who never liked birds, seeing them as extremely fragile beings and the love and care you show for them has given me a world of respect for birds and birders.

I go back to this video because it's really compassion at its peak. The patience, the care, the attentiveness for something so fragile that I couldn't fault you for accidentally hurting it. It's fucking fantastic.

I'm completely baffled at how extremely tiny they are 😮 thank you for taking care of these babies ❤

🥰Minuscule bird toe physiotherapy 🤣🤣🤣tears of joy laughing out loud. Best field of medicine ever. Go little buddy. You got this 🏆❤️

As soon as I saw the eggs, I knew they had to be finches. And as soon as the feathers developed, it was clear they were Society finches! Yes, they will probably be excellent foster parents for other finches! I truly love seeing you raise these sweet little babies.

The way he removed the shell and fed the little one, even blowing little air into it's mouth was so cute. Teaching the little birds to climb on that little stick and then doing that miniscule toe physiotherapy - Wow. Kind, patient and generous human being.
