The Tiniest Bird You've Ever Seen - Zebra Finch Hatching

This is the smallest bird I've ever hatched. After a little Finch had lost her partner, I was asked if she could stay in my big Aviary. When I returned home after picking her up, on the way back she had laid an egg in the little transport box! Birds only do this when they have an egg that needs to be laid.
I knew there was only a small chance she would accept and hatch this egg in an actual nest herself, but I wanted to try before I set plan B in motion…

Yeah birds are weird. When mother birds feed their young babies, they literally stick their whole ass beak into the babies mouth and vomit up food directly into an area in the upper esophagus called the "crop." When birds finally eat on their own, they also collect food in this area before it goes in the stomach. With the baby, you can see the yellow food in the crop after the feeding. This is why it looked like the baby bird was trying to swallow that feeding tube.

Las maravillas de la creación de Dios

[@Embla2010]

My husband is a wounded vet here in Canada that has had 14 brainsurgeries due to his on duty injury and… has two intra cranial shunts in his brain to keep him alive. Both shunts are failing and he is and has been dying the most slow and miserable death I have ever witnessed. As a result of many things my health has been giving out as we raise our 3 children that are now pretty much grown. The two younger ones, boys have grown up with dad having brain surgeries and thinking that was normal until they got old enough to understand and now.. it fills them with dread. It is so sweet to see the careful loving way they have with their father tho. The reason I am writing this is because my husband spends an awful lot of time sitting and watching tv. His injury was a training accident and Phil is the gentlest soul (he worked on avionics in military jets + taught avionics for a time at the military college here in Canada) so when I came across this channel I figured I would show it to him. You see… Phil’s parents were immigrants here in Canada and our last name is Hoolboom. Based on our last name you can guess that he is Dutch, a Dutch Father and an Indo (Indonesian Dutch) mother. Phil as a child and teenager went to Holland to visit with family and was raised in the secure knowledge that tho he is Canadian.. then he IS DUTCH! So to the point. I showed my husband this channel and I have not often seen him react in the way he did. He started with (because I thought he would only have energy to watch a couple of videos) 2-3 videos and had such tears in his eyes@each one. Then he kept going… At some point I fell asleep on the couch beside him, only to come to with Phil just drinking in each video, one.. after the other. He told me he found them so beautiful, so uplifting and he loves the work being done for the animals. The smiles I seen on his face off and on that night were so heart warming and since then I come across him checking out a video here and there. I just wanted to thank you… for giving this help to the animals, but also.. for giving so much more to so many. We are with you in spirit while you help the wee ones and.. we will be watching!

You are such a loving and strong woman to take care of your chronically ill husband. My mom had Alzheimer's for 15 yrs. In the last 6 yrs. of her life she was reduced to an infant. I had to do everything for her. To see my mom lose herself and not being able to do anything about it was very heart breaking for me. So I feel your pain. My health suffered as well. We try to be super caregivers. But please try to give yourself some breaks and loving care for yourself. You deserve it! I'm so glad he is getting some enjoyment out of these videos. May your family stay strong, find comfort and grow closer to each other.

[@Tinyteacher1111]

This story you’ve told has really hit me hard. What a devoted woman you are to take on this task that never ends. I have been chronically ill for 21 years and I am alone, although I had a 40 year teaching career and raised two children mostly on my own. I wish my kids would even call me to see if I’m ok, but they just want me to do things for them. I never hear from my daughter and we used to be best friends until she married a guy who is not a social person and jabbed at me with the most hurtful words I’ve ever heard once they were married, and had a child. I was floored, hurt, and to my dismay, my daughter started acting like I was the enemy as well. I can’t tell you how much this hurts, and I think it’s caused a lot of my anxiety. To make matters worse, my grown son has mental issues from meningitis at age 7. They shame him and hate him. We are all enemies, except for the beautiful girl they’ve brought into this world, who is my only hope for love and goodness in my life. I don’t even know why I told you this, except that you are an inspiration to me that there are still good, loving people in this world❣️ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your story, and how this man in the video and his love for animals has touched a heartstring in your husband and has given him joy. I hope for the much future happiness for your entire family, and I wish I knew you, because I’d love to help you. Much sincere love❣️🩷🙏

[@dashako5310]

I’ve been watching your videos for couple of years and they are always my comfort zone. Seeing how you care about those little creatures so gently and carefully makes me believe in humans. Thank you!

[@SebbS82]

And you mean it's good that animals are in prison? I think birds belong in the wild, not in cages/prison. An animal must want to live with a human voluntarily. And the egg is a sub-part of a bird in prison.

[@whinybritches]

@@SebbS82 Ideally, yeah. But the choices for this particular bird were captivity or death

[@andrewaway]

It is so nice to find something to believe in with humans.

[@SebbS82]

@@whinybritches Why?

[@darkcognitive]

@@SebbS82 This animal would have been dead otherwise. Of course in an ideal world they would all fly free. but this guy saved its life and as you can clearly see, it flies around the room following him everywhere and is probably perfectly happy. If you knew anything about this guys channel you would know he rehabilitates animals and releases them back into the wild all the time, if its possible to do so.

I love baby birds and how adorable they are. Zebra finches make wonderful companions for anyone who wants to give them a chance. They are so cute, loving and full of sass. 💚 I appreciate the time and dedication Alwyn puts into each of his videos. I also look forward to the relationship between these two. 🥰 Also what about Noel or Flora for possible name selections? 🤔

[@esztervarga7641]

Me too, and tears with it...the motjer instinct.

[@TomorrowWeLive]

And just think, a human fœtus has a heartbeat. And "compassionate" "liberals" who care about the "vulnerable" and "powerless" think you should be able to poison them, crush their skulls, rip them into little pieces with forceps and suck them out with a vacuum hose.

[@hi_artmoto]

This is so sweet. This is fantastic documentary storytelling and I adore the final sequence with her! It's amazing how they are so comfortable around you and it goes to show the time and care you put in for them. I'd never seen a chick without their feathers eat, so I was surprised to see how their neck bulges with their food. I guess that's normal? Now I'm curious...

[@anyascelticcreations]

MaryCarl on Mrs Cog Hill and Cog Hill Farm talks about their crop and how to know when it's full as she hand feeds her baby pigeons. She is born to be a bird whisperer, too.

[@oliviadavis3638]

Birds actually have quite large crops, it just doesn’t occur to us how big they are because usually they are covered with feathers. But in this case, (a featherless baby bird with basically clear skin) we can see wonderfully just how big it is!

[@Lonesome__Dove]

Yeah its amazing right! It'd their crop. It fills before the stomach snd when the stomach empties they swallow whats in the crop then repeat. Kind of like storage.

[@hi_artmoto]

@@anyascelticcreations Ah so that's what they're called! "Crops"! I'm sure it takes some experience and focus to keep from overfeeding them.

[@anyascelticcreations]

@@hi_artmoto It does. If I remember correctly, Mary Carl said that they will keep asking for food even after their crop is full. I think she said you go by feel and stop when their crop feels firm because that means it's full. It was pretty cool watching her demonstrate with her baby pigeons. They had feathers already, but when she lifted the feathers we could still see the white food through their skin. And she showed how it was still squishy before it was full. It must have been so much harder for Alwyn to get it just right with his tiny zebra finch baby.

[@АллаДолгих-м5к]

Это что то невероятное. Сколько бессонных ночей ... Огромное спасибо за спасенную маленькую птичку. ❤️

[@MythicalDarkness]

No sleepless nights, baby birds don't demand at night since they are supposed to be asleep (at least mine slept through the night,but come first light was another story), I had a pair of zebra finches and they had no clue how to raise them so I had to quickly find ways to take care of them. I used a fish tank and heating lamp I had for a leopard gecko. I'm also a light sleeper and they only woke me up once when I had dozed off watching a show.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

@Mythical Darkness Yes, baby birds do sleep at night, it's awesome! We raised a baby marmoset whose mother abandoned her, and she had to be fed every few hours, day and night.

[@ConnyNordlicht]

Hope. I'd name it hope. It's the sign of hope for all creatures with a small start. Each can make it if we don't give up and each person is worth it.

I've just found your channel & I'm in awe of your total dedication & the absolute love you have for the babies you save. Never have I seen such gentleness towards such tiny wonderous babies that you raise. I love that you work only with your pure energy to their pure energy, no words spoken. In your other video with the Oyster Catcher baby, you showed her progress, once she was old enough to be set free in the wild, which was beautiful. It would be so cool to see the progress of every baby you rescue, into adulthood. I love you Albert, but not in a creepy way, you are a true Earth Angel 💖 Lizzy from the UK 💖

[@ixeqh]

I used to have a zebra finch. He would always love to be pet, always sat on my plate and tried my food every meal, and sang the most beautiful song. No one would have believed how a zebra finch, a bird that is "incapable of bonding with a human" ended up being very loving and social. He was a very special bird. Rest in peace leonardo da finchi, you will be missed.
