[@NadeemAhmed-nv2br]

@@ritzharris1303 it may have been dead due to old age but I doubt it died in the wild because it comes from the Crow family and for the size of their head, their neurons are extremely densely packed even more densely packed then humans which is what allows their level of intelligence for such a small head and the leagues above any other birds including the well-known intelligent gray parrot whose intellect is generally equated to a 5-year-old's level. With having intellect greater than that, it would not have a hard time finding prey and figuring out how to capture it but these are social creatures so who knows if other magpies accepted him in their flock or not

When I became disabled, I started feeding the birds. That constant life and activity at my window has helped. As for being a mother, I remember when my stepson was about 11, he told me he feels much safer when I'm home. I thought, "Yes. I can't protect him with my disabled body, but I'm an adult, and I can protect him in other ways." That helped so much.

Beautifully stated.

[@fernandapartridge5174]

As humans, we hold responsibility to treat them all with love and care. We are duty bound to do it. I don’t like the term dominant species, because all living things have an equal place on this earth, but humans do know better.... we are also capable of caring for animals, much better than a lot of us do right now. This is stunning to watch. I grew up with a wild crow called Maggie.... a close family friend raised her from a baby. She was free to come and go, but she chose to stay.... she played fetch with the dog, a huge Alsatian... they were best buddies.... that crow was awesome. And also very funny. She did eventually fly away, like Penguin, but she hung around for years. I wish everyone could see how important it is to take good care of all animals we are blessed to share this world with. There’s a lot we can learn from them, for sure. ❤️

[@georgianapunea546]

@@fernandapartridge5174 unfortunately there are not many humans who think and feel like this and we can see it around us almost everywhere.

[@Voltaic_Fire]

@@valvlog4665 No, I've only ever met a handful of people I'd characterise as unkind once I've understood their motivations (though I've heard of far more) but the overwhelming majority are kind at the core. If everyone who said that a given animal is better than humans was right then we'd all be murder hobos who kill just to see life drain away but we're not, nearly every example of a person doing an unkind thing is an example of a human thinking they're doing the right thing and thus are being motivated by the best of intentions. Only humans have the understanding required to be truly kind, intelligent, loyal, or sacrificing whereas animals are largely instinct driven. This leads me to conclude that people who really think animals are better and aren't just making a vapid comment for social validation have lead really awful lives and have a skewed view on their own species.

@@mehere8038 Tq dear for yr feed back :) God first created animals first then human kind. God loves all His ctreations. Animals can talk just like we human too. God is Love ❤ No killing, No anger, No blood shed, No all the bad things happen at all. We r not meant to eat meat in the first place. But aftr Adam n Eve Sin. This whole world turned up side down with so much of Sinful abuse both in animals n human beings. Like killing unborn babies/ abortions which GOD HATE SO MUCH! I hv died n JESUS saved my life. I hv gone tru a lot but JESUS WITH ME ALL THE TIME. MAY GOD BLESS U N EVERYONE. WE NOW LIVING IN END TIME. ➕❤❤❤😙🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

As mean and aggravating as the magpies are, they are just as sweet at the same time. What a smart and incredible bird breed!

[@LL-pe2bd]

Great to see this video with the real family and Peng! The movie did a wonderful job as well! Truly heartwarming! Birds are social creatures. It is an honor when they choose you as their flock. Both Peng and the family benefited from their motley family unit! ❤️

I have grown up rescuing many animals including many members of the crow family, carrion crows, Jays, jackdaws, magpies and even a Raven. They are magnificent, very intelligent birds and love them so much.❤️

You can't help but wonder if these animals that wander into our lives aren't little angels in some way.

Never underestimate how much “animals” (and birds) understand about humans (just other animals).

Man. I watched this movie a few months ago on Netflix. I cried buckets but was also really inspired. I'm on my own journey health wise (affecting my mobility,) and although it's nothing like as horrendous as what happened to this strong woman, the movie/story of what she and her family went through struck a cord with me. Penguin was certainly a gift from God. He showed at the perfect time and seeing this real life footage is a real blessing for me tbh. They are just the nicest strongest, sweetet family. Both Peng and the family were blessed with each other. A real life story of just how empathetic animals truly can be and the benefit they, even a wild bird, can be in the most surprising of ways. Lots of love to the Bloom family. ❤ And TY for sharing your story.. Also, the perfect reminder to buy the book. It's actually on my Amazon Wish List, but I must purchase it soon!

It is said that beings come into your life, some for a lifetime, while others for a brief stay. Each comes with a specific purpose, perhaps to teach a lesson or share a message and as suddenly as they came, they leave.
