Its such a responsibility I feel I have to complete bluejays bring me their babies bcs I have a huge feeding station & i ask them if their mating & if so they could bring their babies to eat some snacks . I often times think about if they depend on me 😅
I've been buddies with a Carolina wren for over a decade and they leave their precious little babies with me to babysit them. They are the sweetest little birds but they don't let me touch them. Kookaburra's are hilarious. We don't have them here in the US. I love all birds.
@@nachomom-fk2bi We had a Robin make that came back to us each spring. He would follow myself or my wife as we worked in the backyard. We would throw him any worms as we did our yard work, which he completely happy with. And he waited each day for the refill of the bird bath so he would have clean and cool water for his bath. He must of aged on during one winter, a d never came back. We really miss our backyard friend. They really become a part of your life.
They left their most prized possession with you because that’s how deep their trust is in you. They feel so safe and secure in knowing you’d take care of their baby… what a beautiful relationship!
I have kookaburras in my backyard too and I love them. The noise they make doesn’t bother me at all. In fact it seems natural, like the noise belongs. And yes they are friendly. I know that I could feed them but I don’t want them to be dependant on me for food. They all look plump and healthy so I know they aren’t going hungry . Delightful creatures.
Damn, that's one hell of an honor, being made the auntie/babysitter for a pair of wild birds while they go out to hunt. It always warms my heart seeing something like this from a wild creature, such undying trust for the human.
As a child, we sang a kookaburra song in grade school! I had forgotten, but this video of the adorable birds brought the lyrics right back: 🎵🎵🎵 Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree Merry merry king of the bush is he Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra Gay your life must be.....
@@Elizabeth-rq1vi Yes, i didn't know what it could be either-- maybe something from a fairy tale! :) No internet indeed, only a set of well - used & loved encyclopedias in the middle of Kansas farmland. It's interesting how widespread this song actually was.
Being chosen by another species to watch their babies is such an honor! I was once chosen by a feral cat play with her kittens and it was such a great feeling. 😊
Hope you got them help and left food, water, and shelter out every day. Food 2 or 3 times a day and a tiny flat bowl of water too for the kittens to reach as well.
@@fslayer1290 - Same here haha! Their mum left them playing with me whilst she went off and had some 'me' time rest somewhere! Then when she came back, she called them to her, they went to her immediately, so she could feed them. That was a very special privilege for me as well.🏴🌹🇬🇧.
Hope you called a TnR program so she got the help she needed. And her kittens too. I’ve worked w/them. _Very necessary_ to get her spayed, so no more wild kittens are brought into a very harsh world w/o a home. The kittens can be socialized & gotten good homes...as well as fixed, too. There’s ppl w/barns that will take the adults as barn kitties, too. It’s a win/win all around! Feral cats have _very hard_ lives. And sadly, it’s passed on to their kittens by the thousands, each year. Caring ppl have the opportunity to help stop it, even if for only 1, & her offspring. That 1 alone will add up to hundreds of feral cats on the streets.
My Grandparents have had generations and generations of these gorgeous birds coming to visit. It's SO sweet when they bring their young floofs along. My Grandfather has passed now, and my Grandma no longer lives at the farm. But my younger cousin has kept on with the tradition. They love coming for their minced meat every couple of days. Thanks for sharing this story. Much love from Melbourne Australia ❤🇦🇺
I'm so happy to hear that the tradition continues for the kookaburras at your grandparent's place. All of you are so fortunate to have these birds as one of your native species. I'd love to see them in their natural habitat! ❤
@@Cara-hm2tl Really, you're sorry to hear that a grandparent you've never know or even met, has passed away...as if that is some weird and unnatural thing...People get old and they leave this planet, there's nothing to be sorry about it's just the way it is, so stop all the overly sensitive bs, please.
Fluffy and Falcor knew they could trust "Aunt Kook" with their little one while they went off to hunt. Family is so important, even if they don't share the same DNA!
How can you be that cute? You can almost envy this woman for having experienced something like that. A wild bird gives its trust to a human...I think this is really something special.
We live in Perth. We have a pair of Frogmouths that live in a tree in our back yard. I feel so honoured when I sit outside at night and I see them land on the gate or the fence whilst they are hunting. And nothing thrills me more than when I see their offspring waiting for Mum and Dad to come and feed them. Blessed to be an Aussie. 🇦🇺
That sounds incredibly special! 😊 Having Frogmouths in your backyard must be a true blessing. Enjoy those magical moments with your feathered neighbors! 🦉❤️
When I stayed with my sister in Australia, two Kookaburras would sit on next doors television aerial, and wake me up every morning! Noisy, but utterly adorable!
Never heard of that kind of bird. Pleasantly surprised. Sweet lady with a good kind heart otherwise the birds wont leave the little one with her. Thanks for your story.
You are blessed to be an honorary Kookaburra! They are the darndest cutest birds! I visited Australia in the 1980s, and was astounded by the wealth of colorful birds there. If you can be a carer for birds in need, you are close to being an angel.
I recall decades ago backpacking in Oz and going to a youth hostel outside Sydney which had a kookaburras land on terrace several times a day. It was wonderful he would let people gently stroke his head .
Always reminds me of the song I sang in Brownies almost 60 years ago. Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree. Here in Canada I had no idea what a little laughing bird would look like. Such a delight to see them -so sweet.
"...merry, merry king of the bush is he-ee." Pennsylvania here! We sang that too in Brownies! I only recently learned what a kookaburra was. It's a kingfisher.
I experienced a little miracle Finch adopt me during COVID, she stayed on my patio everyday, sunrise to sunset! Built a family there. Yes, they built a trust in me. Extraordinary 😊
That has got to be the cutest smile ever! To be trusted and loved by these amazing creatures is priceless. Thanks for caring for them, and keeping them wild. Oh! You have a lovely voice, too! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
A wild bird knows when it can trust you. We have robins here in UK that sit on your hand and a crow that gives kisses it’s all about trust and the energy that you possess. It’s lovely that you have kookaburra friends and shows you are a good person Mandy 🇬🇧
What an adorable little bird family! They all look beautiful & it's so special that they only stick around for the narrator! I also love how soft the narrator's voice is & how sweet she is interacting with the Kookaburras! Fantastic footage & video!
Absolutely beautiful.I just love our kookaburras.I agree that when you get to know a creature,and look into their eyes,you see a sentient being.It breaks my heart the way a lot of humans treat animals.
Thanks for this beautiful video - entertaining and educational! As for the song… I am old enough to recall the original words, in which the last line was “Gay your life must be.” 😀 I understand the reason for the change (don’t know when it happened). It only proves the power of words!
Awww…what a lovely story. They are such beautiful birds it just melts my heart. I’ve never been there but Australia has a special place in my heart too. Thank you 💚🙏
What a precious little bludger is the kookaburra. My bird feeder attracts sprigs, titmouse, bluejays and colorful woodpeckers. When I am tardy in replenishing the feeder, some of them will place wing on hip, tap the foot and roll the eyes as if to say, "Really?"
As a young child, I was taught the "Kookaburra Song" in elementary school, but I had never seen one of these birds until this video. What lovely and sweet birds! Thank you so much for bringing the song I've known for almost 70 years to life. It was a genuine treat.
I want to move to Australia just for the kookaburra experience. I visited Australia 50+ years ago while I was in the US navy and never saw or heard of these wonderful birds at the time.
What a beautiful video. So comforting in these very troubling times. We live in the New York Hudson Valley. We’ve decided to place large heaps of seeds on the ground instead of the bird feeders so that the mourning doves and squirrels can enjoy. It’s a beautiful site to see the sparrows, blue jays, cardinals, mourning doves and squirrels all eating together, almost as a family. Thank you once again.
What a sweet bird and his/her eyes so intense. GOD has truly blessed all whom HIS wonderful animals of the land, air and seas say HELLO or when in need you come to help them. HE smiles on those who loves HIS creatures. Pax+
I lived in Julatten, Nth Qld. Several kookaburras used to visit every morning along with their babies. I miss them so much after 22 years of living with them. They became very friendly. Beautuful creatures and very intelligent.
That sounds like such a wonderful experience! 😊 Kookaburras are truly beautiful and intelligent creatures. We're glad this story brought back fond memories for you. 🦜❤️
Love these wonderful, loud birds! They kept me company, coming to eat raw meat from my hand, the months I was in AU, land of my beloved mum. Must return to her paradise.
The more videos I see of animals in Australia, it makes me want to visit. This video introduced kookaburras which I have never seen up close. The narrative was great.
It's amazing how they knew that their baby would be safe while they were gone. Incredible but animals highly intelligent and in some cases comprehend more than humans.
What an absolute privilege. Sometimes in life animals make a special connection with people they trust. We should do everything in our power to return that trust and show them we’re not all bad. Just magical and beyond all words.
Living in America, I never see kookaburras except in nature shows. I love animals, even snakes and spiders, but I've never been home to any of them. I do love the books about people who shared their home with a wild animal, such as That Quail, Robert. You are truly blessed by the trust you're receiving from Falcor, Fluffy, and Waddles.
I absolutely looove this! So much love shown to what we call "a wild animal" but they repay in kindness and more! It's mindblowing how much these little birdies trust you, that they have brought they baby and left! 😍 This is how it should be, how I wish it should be, all animals, human and non human, living in friendship and trust like this, while keeping their freedom. They are so much more than we give them credit for, intelligence-wise, emotionally.... Of course that would require staying away from big predators but even for them, humans are not really their food.
The "jungle bird"/ "monkey call" hooting sound frequently used in movie special effects for stereotypical jungle environment noise is the laughing call of the kookaburra (which doesn't live in the jungles of South America or India).
I feel so privileged to share this planet with all the beautiful animals, wildlife and nature. We are truly blessed. Also they know a good and kindly heart when they meet one so please carry on loving and respecting them as you do. And thank you. God bless
Being a bird lover this little video was such a treat. I had a dove that would come see me daily for her/his seed and eat it directly from my hand. It was such a wonderful experience.
I used to live out in the bush & would always leave my front sliding door unlocked. Every day I would come home from work to find my horse JJ & 5 or 6 Kookaburras in my kitchen waiting for me to come home. JJ would slide the door open to let himself & the birds in. I never fed the birds so I never knew why they came inside. JJ thought he was a dog & would sometimes lay on the carpet & watched tv with me.
How wonderful to have the honor to love and care for such remarkable creatures. You must be a special friend for them to trust you with their offspring. So sweet💞
Truly amongst the cutest videos out there ! I have never ever seen a kookaburra before in my entire life. I have heard a little about them. Thank you for showing your little friends . Love always, A friend always !
Have you ever heard kookaburra's singing before?🤔
If you ever watched the old TV show, Flipper, then you've heard a kookaburra.
Every morning at about 5 or 6 🎶
You call that SINGING??!
Is that kookaburra singing as ❤ as a hummingbird's tune?
Also watching the 🇺🇸 birthday on NBC
You know you're doing something right when wild animals trust you and bring their babies to you.

That sounds like such a wonderful experience! 😊 Kookaburras are truly beautiful and intelligent creatures. We're glad this story brought back fond memories for you. 🦜❤️
Any animal tasking a human with babysitting is so cool.
Love these wonderful, loud birds! They kept me company, coming to eat raw meat from my hand, the months I was in AU, land of my beloved mum. Must return to her paradise.
What adorable birds. I had no idea!
The more videos I see of animals in Australia, it makes me want to visit. This video introduced kookaburras which I have never seen up close. The narrative was great.
Just imagine if we could talk to the animals and understand them what amazing knowledge we could learn.
It's amazing how they knew that their baby would be safe while they were gone.
Incredible but animals highly intelligent and in some cases comprehend more than humans.
The names u chose 4 them r so cute. Thank u 4 being a kind person - obviously the birds saw that in u.
Thank you so much 🐥🌿🙏🏻
What an absolute privilege. Sometimes in life animals make a special connection with people they trust. We should do everything in our power to return that trust and show them we’re not all bad. Just magical and beyond all words.
Living in America, I never see kookaburras except in nature shows. I love animals, even snakes and spiders, but I've never been home to any of them. I do love the books about people who shared their home with a wild animal, such as That Quail, Robert. You are truly blessed by the trust you're receiving from Falcor, Fluffy, and Waddles.
I absolutely looove this! So much love shown to what we call "a wild animal" but they repay in kindness and more! It's mindblowing how much these little birdies trust you, that they have brought they baby and left! 😍 This is how it should be, how I wish it should be, all animals, human and non human, living in friendship and trust like this, while keeping their freedom. They are so much more than we give them credit for, intelligence-wise, emotionally.... Of course that would require staying away from big predators but even for them, humans are not really their food.
Fun fact: Flipper's 'voice' on the TV show was actually made by a kookaburra.
Not even disappointed
@@kanjuro8926 No reason you should be. It's like how James Earl Jones voiced Darth Vader...only cuter.
Totally makes sense!
The "jungle bird"/ "monkey call" hooting sound frequently used in movie special effects for stereotypical jungle environment noise is the laughing call of the kookaburra (which doesn't live in the jungles of South America or India).
Wanted to like this but then I remembered how dolphins suffer in captivity 😢
The love and trust they have with you is genuine and obvious. What an honor ❤
I feel so privileged to share this planet with all the beautiful animals, wildlife and nature. We are truly blessed. Also they know a good and kindly heart when they meet one so please carry on loving and respecting them as you do. And thank you. God bless
Being a bird lover this little video was such a treat.
I had a dove that would come see me daily for her/his seed and eat it directly from my hand.
It was such a wonderful experience.
🎼Kookaburra 🎶 sits in the old gum tree 🎵 Merry merry king of the Bush is he 🎶 Laugh kookaburra, laugh kookaburra, 🎵gay your life must be. ☀️
You just take care of those Kookaburras! 🥹 People like you are so important to the birds and other wildlife, a safe haven and an actual lifesaver! ❤❤❤
I am SOOOO JEALOUS OF U!!! YES....U r TRULY BLESSED!!!!
I used to live out in the bush & would always leave my front sliding door unlocked. Every day I would come home from work to find my horse JJ & 5 or 6 Kookaburras in my kitchen waiting for me to come home. JJ would slide the door open to let himself & the birds in. I never fed the birds so I never knew why they came inside.
JJ thought he was a dog & would sometimes lay on the carpet & watched tv with me.
How wonderful to have the honor to love and care for such remarkable creatures. You must be a special friend for them to trust you with their offspring. So sweet💞
Lack of animal instinct!
What a heartwarming moment! Unbelievable, but what if three in chorus? Make a plan for a small pond stocking fish!
Truly amongst the cutest videos out there ! I have never ever seen a kookaburra before in my entire life. I have heard a little about them. Thank you for showing your little friends . Love always, A friend always !
What would our planet be without all these creatures around us,it would be soooooooo born.
