I love how Tim calls every animal he encounters “mate,” from Perentie lizards to starfish to bush stone-curlew chicks.

[@joycekaminski1943]

I love Tim’s enthusiasm for everything he does. What a great ambassador for Australia and Bondi Vet.

[@jenniferwood8944]

I adore Tim, his enthusiasm for every creature on earth is amazing!

[@pauladowning5592]

Tim Faulkner is awesome. His enthusiasm is contagious! He has me counting the days until the next episode. And I am 68!

He reminds me of Steve Irwin. I miss him so much!

[@nrgbunni.]

Tim is like the Steve Irwin of the current day I love watching him in vids weather it's Bondi vet, the outback adventure series or the Australian reptile parks own vids

[@shirleylaboy603]

I love Tim he's so passionate about the animals and the work he does with them. 🙂❤

[@Rachelbee]

That rocky beach is almost like an alien landscape, beautiful! Also love how Tim casually picks up poo, lol.

[@anniemcewen9049]

This has been a great 'vacation' listening to Tim's Aussie accent and exploring down under. Bucket list now 🔥‼️🎉

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Stunning markings in the lizard.

[@kaseyhowell1973]

He gives me real Steve Irwin vibes and I am not mad at it

[@charstrasburg7380]

Tim reminds me of Steve Irwin. Same enthusiasm and LOVE of nature.

[@leesquirrel3550]

One of my best childhood memories was my brother and I exploring tide pools in So. Cal. This was a wonderful video. Thank you!❤

[@anneterry3660]

Dedicated individuals like Tim take us to the creatures habitats as well as the reserve to help us understand that ecology is a system with so many niches, and like Jenga blocks, if a nich is destroyed, eventually the system will collapse. I am an American and go to Australian programs on television and KZbin for my grandchildren, whom will watch the same clip over, and over, and over....Thank you Tim!

[@barbaramalloy6565]

I love it when Tim talks about wildlife, he is so enthusiastic and loves what he is doing! Thank you Tim I learn a lot!

The modern day Steve Irwin. I can’t tell you how much joy this show brings me taking me back to childhood days watching Crocodile Hunter

[@simonalyneenderz3247]

Tim's best decision to hand raise the Curler chicks. We do not want any more species dying off. Hopefully, there have been more born since this episode.

[@thomasbjurstrom6480]

Who won't be enthusiastic listening to Tim?!

[@domiro8156]

What's not to like about super Tim.....Thanks Mate!!!

Oh Timmy, youre the coolest..love to watch you get so excited. Love this...Rock On~~~

Great and informative video. Tim is has so much energy and enthusiasm and really loves his job.

Omg hiiiiiiii!! I wanna be a vet so much and that's why your videos are so inspiring.

Yesterday this channel become a fav channel 😍 I love this channel thanks for making my day 🙃

[@iGoddess]

I LOVED THIS EPISODE ❤ Tim is the BEST a true LEGEND 🙌 The rock formation oceanic wildlife was so interesting to watch and these 2 chick's are soooo adorable and made it thanks to the watchful eyes of Tim. Thank you for all you do for these amazing animals and for teaching us about all of Australia's wildlife 🙏 We need to know to be able to protect these animals, their habitats and what to do if you come across a injured wombat or kangaroo aso.....

I love the prehistoric looking perentie it's very fast

Nature at its best . Thanks Tim .

[@vickibarkhuff4937]

I love this show but could you do something different with the music? So many times it is hard to hear Tim because the music is to loud. Have noticed this on several episodes.

[@BondiVet]

Thanks for the comment. This was made a few years ago but we always strive to create well produced content. Sorry about the audio balance in this ep!

[@freeanimals594]

@Vicki Barkfull I have also noticed this on quite a few shows and movies. It really stinks because I'm hard of hearing and have tinnitus which is a constant ringing in my ears. I have been watching things with closed captioning for some time now because I can't hear all the words spoken and can glance down at the closed captioning to reveal what I hadn't heard.

[@vickibarkhuff4937]

@@freeanimals594 here's hoping they figure things out and fix the problem. Fingers crossed.

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

I enjoy watching Tim he has so much information to share.

[@cab102361]

Loving these episodes

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Love the sea creatures…so beautiful!

[@nancymoore7137]

Enjoy the show but it would have been better without the music the music was very distracting to me. Enjoyed seeing animals and learning about them. The baby birds very cute and I'm glad that you got to save them. Inside the the lizard he was very well camouflaged. Keep up the good work . Watching you from Bakersfield California

Hey sir, beautiful surroundings…peaceful and deadly! Take care Tim….

That was a great show and tell. Thank you.😊

[@julierobertson9397]

Australia's got so many startling animals (and plants), I love the way Tim seeks out and shows us the fascinating but less spectacular ones. Good on ya, Tim!

[@metinkerholly4699]

I love seeing you help animals

[@jennifercoleman6218]

We call them tide pools in america. I didn't know they called them rock pools in australia

[@stephanierobinson3860]

We call them rock pools in the uk as well

Wish the Channel upload the Rest of the Tim Faulkner episodes!

[@ediebaxter6194]

Very educational show.

[@ediebaxter6194]

My cellphone acted up, before I could finish. Tim is very informative. He is good at what he does.

Seeing the mum bird pretend to be hurt to lead Tim away from her babies was heartbreaking but she should’ve fed them ig

Thanks Tim

[@joanneganon7157]

Thank you Tim. Very Nice Video 👍 JO JO IN VT 💕😄🇺🇸

[@mariaporto9986]

a very interesting video...

[@chrisandrus2735]

I honestly think Aussies aren’t scared of anything. Especially this one 😆

[@davidm3maniac201]

They certainly respect them. They know the dangerous wildlife from a young age

[@Darwinsmom]

We have whipoorwill birds in Canada, and the female with chicks will do the same behaviour to protect her babies. I almost walked on a nest in a gravel pit in Ontario (central Canada), as I hadn't noticed the mum on her nest. She went straight into her broken wing act to lead me away. I got out of there pretty quick! Those babies were adorable, just like the curler chicks at Tim's park!

[@ariakusakabe1847]

The only reason I came here is bc that lizard looked so damn chill lol. But all the things I learned in this video was so cool.

[@freeanimals594]

Absolutely beautiful lizard!

[@jennymisteqq5399]

12:34 What was going on with the lizard’s upper neck area? Was he doing? By the way, the timing (12:34) that brings you to the exact spot where it shows the lizard’s neck, it catches Tim seemingly say “I like snakes” in a childlike manner. I kept pressing the time thing just to hear him say “I like snakes”, even though that’ and over again. It was then I realized I heard him incorrectly.

[@freeanimals594]

@Jenny Misteqq I don't know much about these large lizards, but my guess would be that it was swallowing. To me reptiles are such beautiful creatures. Especially snakes can have some of the most exquisite coloring.

[@Trini2DeBone]

I'm just in awe how Tim picked up that huge, hideous lizard. Where I live, my house geckos leave me shrieking. Is there anything he's afraid of?

[@davidm3maniac201]

Yes crocodiles

[@catc8927]

Besides crocs, cassowaries. That’s when the Australian Reptile Park teams break out their riot shields.

[@sandyeubanks4972]

Cool

[@katakimikusan]

Soo a pureny (unsure how to spell it) is just like a smaller Komodo dragon?🤔🤗

[@terrynorton4561]

The outback looks like West Texas/New Mexico.

Did the curler chicks eat

[@triso100]

The big lizard reminds me of my tegu

[@BowBellexoxo]

Omg hi!!

[@usacookie8288]

Oh. They bite.

[@BBAngel7kids]

I know this isn't the official Channel for the show and Tim will probably never see this but a little advice to Tim is..Never take your eyes off of a wild animal especially when you're letting it go to talk to the camera for the viewers. Just make sure the animal is safely away from you first..that's all. This is all coming from a good place because I just worry about all of the handlers and professionals that have to interact with all of these wild animals on a daily basis..anything could happen! So please be careful and stay safe out there. ✌️😘❤️🏜️🦎🦘🐨

[@Valmordi]

I feel so bad for the bird mom. She pretty much was offering herself as bait to save her chicks. But it’s all for the better

[@rickh3714]

Could it be the lack of normal occasional predator interactions that stops the adults presenting food to the chicks? Or over-freshness of food? IE they may feed themselves the choice portions in the wild and slightly rotten (more digestible?) food to the chicks? Could you try slightly older, more sundried or slightly rotten food?

[@williamjessing9020]

Anyone know what shirt and shorts hes wearing

[@heathergarnham9555]

They look like King Gee

[@creel-starr]

Maybe not enough time has gone by to allow them to feed em that mom instinctively knew to play hurt

[@xamanduhh]

Poor momma 😓

[@franciscaromeroblanco3422]

I'm mad at today's chapter, if you're doing wildlife education you should teach about staying out, starfish drown out of the water, and if you think a few seconds or minutes won't affect it think hundreds of people are going to remove it from the water every day, which does influence, I hope that in future chapters they will emphasize that they are harming wildlife if they try to take it incorrectly out of their natural environment

[@davidm3maniac201]

You must be fun at parties

[@franciscaromeroblanco3422]

@@davidm3maniac201 yes, my circle of friends study ecology and wildlife conservation so we all have lots of fun but being respectfull of the environment

How would you feel it somebody took your babies away..? 😥😟😱

Do you _really_ have to go around picking up every possible chunk of poop you find - and _without_ gloves? .-.

[@EricOnYouTube]

This episode got a thumbs down. :( You should tell people to NOT handle marine life. PERIOD. Some of the chemicals you put on your hands are toxic to them.

[@steffanhembree2477]

You could have picked up some food and fed them and they could have stayed with there parents

[@davidm3maniac201]

He is encouraging them to have more though. I did think the same

[@AnniCarlsson]

So stress out the parents several times a day where they try protect the chicks is good you think?

[@vanessahuman7607]

How come we never see any aborigines when you out in the outback?

[@heathergarnham9555]

They've all moved into towns and cities.

[@andreabell9194]

I feel sad and concerned that you’re encouraging people to handle wildlife. These brief kidnappings stress the animals out; this stress weakens their reserves. And their numbers are in severe decline already. Not everyone is as brief or gentle as you, and I can easily envision some keeping the animals. Sadly, I see this “rock pulling “ practice as further harming the wildlife, which is completely opposite your intent.

[@heathergarnham9555]

Pooling not pulling

[@davidm3maniac201]

You must be fun at parties

[@TM-pf1hs]

I like Tim but I was unimpressed with him interfering with nature. It is not that big of a deal interacting with the animals in the reptile park; they are already in captivity. However, it is not okay to disturb animals in nature. They are free, and don't deserve to be captive for even a moment.

[@davidm3maniac201]

You must be fun at parties

[@kimberleyhall616]

100% that was a staged Perentie (the one he grabbed). Sorry Tim, love your enthusiasm, but there is no way that lizard was just there ready at your will ready, and no one would advise you to grab him. Again, sorry but I'm calling it, he would've ran off as soon as he saw you!

[@heathergarnham9555]

Have you ever met one? They are the biggest lizard around, no predators, they stand their ground. I've walked right past them, they will actually chase humans.

[@kimberleyhall616]

Yes I have, and they were just looking then scurrying away. These were just juvies. There was no chance I had of catching one one. Nor would I?
