Animal Rescue on the Farm | PORTUGAL FARM LIFE

[@OKportugal]

Here is a little feel good video for Sunday... Our neighbour Joaquim was ploughing some fields with his tractor and discovered this trapped Iberian White Stork, trapped in a fence. They are a protected species in Portugal and its the first time that I've been able to see one of them this closely. I am so glad that Joaquim found it and called me to be able to document the rescue :)

[@cinemaparadiso7]

He just needed time to regroup. He got out of imobility and he flew to his life. Voa, voa passarinho, voa, voa sem parar...

[@jonnyandsamofficial]

Awh you guys are beautiful souls for helping out this beautiful bird 🦢

This old guy had a pet stork in the city my grandparents lived in. He had a broken wing that never really healed and would follow the guy around and mimic him. He would smoke a cigarette and the stork would go to his cigarette pack and steal a cigarette and put it in his mouth like it was smoking aswell. The stork would clack his beak when people clapped too. It was a smart bird.

[@OKportugal]

Oh wow that's awesome 😁

[@carladantas2402]

They were in danger since then they are protected, it was amazing to see people that care, bless you guys

[@barbarapeirson843]

That was deeply cool! Gina is such a gifted animal whisperer and so brave. 😊❤❤

[@OKportugal]

[@OKportugal]

We have had a lot of rescues on this farm over the last 5 years... not all of them have een filmed but im really glad to have captured this video today. What a sweet bird, and what a happy ending :)

[@janeingram7331]

outstanding. Bless you for taking the time. You gave life to that stork. Something good will happen to you both and Joaquim. He didn't have to call you, but he did.

[@OKportugal]

We are all already blessed to be here, amongst beautiful nature, and wonderful animals :)

[@pedrapioan4201]

That was a very happy ending, well done all involved 😁❤👍

[@Aotruba]

Thank you for your kindness 🙏💖🙏

[@michelebushnik2874]

Oh good job Juaquine and Gina❤ Wonderful team work! Gina you are the hero❤🎉 What a gorgeous bird! Thank you for sharing this beautiful video Ken!

[@OKportugal]

Thanks Michele. Over the years we have helped a bunch of different animals. This was the first stork we have saved though. Was amazing to see one up close like this 😊

[@melinda5777]

WOW! Bird rescue! Joaquin, the Hero and Dr. Gina! Hey, is that house abandoned? ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇵🇹👣🦅 ☘🤗

[@OKportugal]

Such an unexpected thing to have happened today. It was about 1 hour before I put the video up here. Was really special to get up and close with this large bird that is usually so far away from us to see properly. I'm so glad that we could help ir. And that he flew away on his own! Joaquim is taking care of the land at that property, but im not sure if anyone lives there.

[@melinda5777]

@OKportugal I've talked the Bird Rescuer hear on the island one day on the beach. There was a Blue Heron, they stand over 3 1/2 ft tall.. it had fishing line with tackle wrapped around its legs. He said we did the right thing by calling instead of us trying to handle it, the birds beak is so sharp it would cut us up and we would be taking to the hospital with lacerations to the bone. So them birds with them foot long beak or more have my full respect and I stay away!!!

[@OKportugal]

@@melinda5777 I think Gina has a special way with animals, as we always help them, and they dont seem to attack us when we do... Apart from when the bees tried to kill me, and were constantly stinging me through my bee suit :D

[@jonnyandsamofficial]

Oh amazing he flew like that!! Yeah awesome good job guys

[@cazicature]

What a beautiful bird, well done to you all for saving it ❤

Go Gina ! 🎉

[@OKportugal]

She has no fear.Was funny as when she went to pick it up, Joaquim was warning that it might bite her. The bird knew she was helping it, I think ❤️

[@soapy3204]

You are good people, the stork could feel that you were there to help, they are intelligent birds that live above us a lot of the time. I work in a nature reserve on an estuary with many migrating birds. You were great and Gina took it to the next level.... Teamwork! Well done to you all!

[@OKportugal]

@@soapy3204 coming from someone with your experience that's an awesome compliment! Thank you 🙏

[@francoisviguier3241]

hello , nice job !

[@daviddjerassi]

It tells the story of Dr. Dolittle as he tries to help the animals protect their forest from unscrupulous human developers. He decides to populate the forest with a species of animal that the law protects, and enlists the help of Ava (voiced by Lisa Kudrow), a lone Pacific western bear living in the condemned forest. To provide her with a mate, Dolittle turns to Archie (voiced by Steve Zahn), a wise-cracking circus-performing MAYBE YOUR THE NEW Dr Dolittle .love the video thanks Team OK Portugal.

[@OKportugal]

Yes Gina is Dr Dolittle! 😁👍

How wonderful this bird had enough energy to fly off on its own. Less stress & a better outcome for sure! I Googled stork symbolism just for fun for every time I see a special bird appear I'm always curious what it means! This is what it said: Storks have many symbolic meanings across cultures and religions, including: New beginnings In Christianity, Ancient Egyptian, and Native American cultures, storks symbolize new beginnings, such as the start of the new year. Spring Storks are considered harbingers of spring. Family values In Norse mythology, storks symbolize family values and purity, based on the belief that they are monogamous. Filial love Storks are associated with filial love because of the myth that they deliver babies. God's loyal love In the Bible, the Hebrew word for "stork" is hasidah, which is related to hesed, a term that describes Yahweh's kindness, love, mercy, and goodness. Storks are also regarded as unusually kind to their young. Peace White storks are often found in folklore and can represent peace, happiness, fertility, and rebirth. Other symbolic meanings of storks include: Angels Fidelity and monogamous marriage Holiness Vigilance Enemies of snakes Good luck Cheers!! 🕊️

[@OKportugal]

Thank you, that's amazing. I think we were here to help the bird and it might have helped us too 🙏❤️
