Farmer Attacked By Ferocious SNAKEBIRD!

With all the craziness of this year, this was by far our most memorable experience!

[@dinafernandez897]

I love how you teach your children to be kind to animals. Congratulations, very enjoyable.

[@colleenbowerman9314]

Lester you scream like a girl. LOL. I love that Jami just stayed on the porch and laughed. Smart girl! At least he has Shirley to help him!!! And although you don't have neighbors to question your sanity, you have thousands of followers.......But we all love you!!!!

[@karlalarson1434]

Love the boys “are we still not supposed to record your body”. Too funny!!!!! Great job guys.

[@judiminer61]

Karla, that was funny after he ready had recorded Lester. 😂

[@featherpayne]

This is an amazing display of patience and parenting. Taking the time even though it would be faster to do it yourself it is what is missing from parenting.

[@PlAiNJaNe521]

My dad did not have those same patience lol

[@kayleew68748]

That MFer is the definition of cobra chicken 😂😂😂😂

[@lisagoodman2039]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jenimoore3053]

That is a igert a type of heron

[@mrmatt7210]

Man; "You got fresh water there buddy" Bird; "You wouldn't drink it." As a boy growing up in the country, we called these birds "Water Turkeys."

[@Dj-ws9rj]

I love how the animals want in on any thing going on lol...

[@kayecee2871]

Of course the goats have to be in the mix -- they crack me up!

[@teresaa1364]

Nosey animalitos! :P

[@susandilts5411]

Teaching your children to be kind and help animals is awesome. Your a trip Lester.

[@doloreswilliams5198]

❤😢

[@sethlayman5286]

GIVE EACH OTHER A HUG FOR SAVING A STRANGE BIRD!! LMAO!!

[@toridelrio-wright4512]

Lmao

[@PlAiNJaNe521]

😂😂😂 and the "he only said mother" 😂😂

[@vermontmom4232]

I love that this is a family event. I really hope they follow in your footsteps and continue with your sanctuary later in life. Heart warming. I wish every child had this opportunity. But grateful for the ones that do. Bless you all. 💞

[@Joy-is-me]

It's funny how the rest of the animals are clearly trying to figure who or what this bird is :D

[@sighberscamp1]

That's an anhinga. You can hardly tell the difference between them and a cormorant, but anhingas have a longer tail, marking on the back of its wings, and a straight pointed beak. Cormorants have a hooked upper beak for catching prey as opposed to the poking anhingas do. He probably didn't fly because he was waterlogged. But it's a good thing because he wouldn't have gotten the string off otherwise. I don't know what state you're in, but they are both very common here in Florida. We had one stuck in our fishing net while my husband and I were commercial fishing many years ago. It bit me too, so I know your pain. I guess I should have doung your famous anhinga lullaby, oooh loodle loo loo loo. Hahaha! That was hysterical! Love you guys. This channel is quickly becoming my favorite along with LE's.

[@tmaxim2651]

Kim G I was gonna guess cormorant haha

[@lylesmith1949]

Are they both a type of Loon or Crane?

[@HiyaStace]

The anhinga is placed in the darter family, Anhingidae, and is closely related to Indian (Anhinga melanogaster), African (Anhinga rufa), and Australian (Anhinga novaehollandiae) darters. Like other darters, the anhinga hunts by spearing fish and other small prey using its sharp, slender beak.

[@calvinh.8882]

@@HiyaStace, Exactly, I'm wishing he had got all the "yarn" off of it because they have to spear the fish they eat, and that "yarn" left on there may stop it from being able to spear the fish.

[@drummergurl99]

[@kellyplumb3561]

I love the boys are saying they don't want to hurt him, empathy in children is wonderful. ❤️💕

[@patrickoberem9109]

[@doghairdontcarelindaniel7531]

[@ronniemae1194]

Lester is too funny charming the bird. Covering the head then uncovering the head and freaking out at getting bit. Love the antics. Lester , you and your family are precious ❤️. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@nubiaq.9585]

OMG I love what you guys are doing with those animals. No I don’t think that you are insane for the way that you talk to them, I think that that is the way that you love them and enjoy what are you doing. God bless you!!

[@roxann1557]

That was great. Btw....you look just fine with the shirt off Lester! Woo-hoo! I'm teasing Jami....your hubby is so funny. I love you guys!

[@sylviekins]

[@jenniferrhoades4877]

[@blkmjcwmn61]

Lol! Lester we won't judge you!😂You, Lex and Conner are heroes! Even if you almost cussed at the poor bird!😂😂😂 OMG! Lester screamed like a big old GIRL when that bird got after him!😂😂😂

[@halfunit4995]

After Lester released the bird it looks like he was sending it off with a blessing. ❤️

[@caroleann1560]

They boys did a great job! Lester, "The Pied Piper of all Animals."🎶🎶🎶👍

[@biscaya08]

I like the instructions you give them. So calm and relaxing. Good job!

[@mightymouse6057]

What an amazing save and amazing team work!! Great lesson for the kids also, Lester!! This situation all the way around is a beautiful lesson. It also teaches about littering, the environment, saving/helping animals, teamwork, the circle of life and SO MICH MORE! Great work guys!! I’m impressed!

[@barbaradurrance8483]

[@themrspickle6046]

[@wikket01]

I love watching you all! I've offered to volunteer at a local farm, I just want to help animals and ppl helping animals. 💛

[@bascia3125]

I just found your channel! And the way you were charming that bird was so comical, but it worked! you got a new subscriber.! I loved it! And thank you for helping these animals out!

[@shellymacrae8441]

OMGOODNESS!!! That is one for the record. Great to see the excitement from the boys. Love their questions and imagination. And then..... the snake charmer busted out the moves, and all the animals had to come and watch his special powers in bird charming!!! This was GREAT!!! Loved it! Thank you for sharing!

[@marylstotts9552]

Please Lester its not the outside that shows the kind of a person one is, that has to come from the heart and everyday you or Jamie shows the heart you each have by feeding, protecting and loveing all these anmials. My only prayer is that we could have more farms like you have. God Bless you and I know he will. I'll never know you personally but I love you all for the great work you do. Thank you, I hope LE follows in your footsteps.

[@mariawilcox3237]

You got a huge heart & teaching the next generation was SO great to watch. P.s. you look great Lester. No worries.😀

[@theadventuresofhoneymark.9656]

[@blaisepotvien7557]

Bravo Lester! And good job? Boys! Too cool.. looks like Spring has blessed you with the green grass and the trees are leafing. 😍

[@robertanickerson1472]

I love the way Jami helps. She just keeps filming and laughing. All I could do was laugh from the time Lester screams until the end

[@kimmcnatt6301]

That was so funny when Lester was doing the snake-charmer routine. 😂 Thanks I needed a good chuckle today.

[@katietaylor1536]

Loved this one LE! Your interactions with the animals and family are so heart warming! Funny, what you dad has said before is true about being somewhat bashful when he is not the one recording. You did catch him off guard!

[@susansharphaynes555]

I laughed so hard at Lester being the Crane Charmer🤣😂🤣😂

[@deboracarter8227]

I love this I was raised this way now I am 57 , now we are starting another farm . 😃🌷🥀 So happy the way you do kids animals. 😀😃🙃

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

That is awesome Debora, good luck!

[@tigger4664]

I was so confused haha I thought i was having deja vu until I realized this is an old video😅

[@SandraDeCou]

tigger4664 how old is this? I was so confused as to who the black and white goat was! (I just started watching around Christmas)

[@tigger4664]

I believe over a year, year and a half. I started watching when I seen the (Run Maggie run) video😅 I just remember going back in the videos and watching this when I first discovered the sanctuary:)

[@SandraDeCou]

tigger4664 awesome thanks! “Run Maggie run!” ...I did see that one or at least clips from that one hahaha

[@janavidaurri2661]

That is such a odd looking bird 🐦 Lester trying to charm it on way to pond 😂

[@leslieballard8758]

He was cracking me up taking that snakebird to the pond..lol trying to charm it

[@joycependleton589]

Very heroic move, guys! Proud of you! Jami, don’t feel alone on laughing at Lester...I did too. He can make the weirdest situations....well...Funny.😂

[@angelinamarie5415]

“i think there might be something stuck in his mouth; that’s why he can’t fly maybe.... okay no that doesn’t make any sense at all” LMFAOO

[@lynnbell8743]

Patience is virtue. So proud

Lester you are only the 2nd person other than myself I have ever heard use the phrase sh%t fire,I got it from my aunt who grew up in south Carolina. Thanks for the laugh and for saving the poor bird.

[@auntkoshiol8766]

Ok so I have a question. Lester you run from a rat and a bird, yet you play head-on with Ringo, Voodu and Tex. I still don't have that figured out. You are hilarious.
