No Idea What Was About To Hatch | Wild Egg Rescue from birth to release
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2023
- A rare bunch of wild eggs belonged to a bird species I had never raised before. I decided to film her growth every day - on a neutral background so as to see her development in detail. This was an amazing journey from the wild egg rescue up until her release into the wild again.

*Kind reminder: Never, ever take eggs from a birds nest. Doing so would be a violation of nature and mostly cause a lot of sadness… and it’s against the law for a very good reason. The falconer (from the beginning of the video) is actually one of the only people licensed to do this, and only does in very unique circumstances.
If you do find an egg however somewhere out of place, you can try look for a nearby professional hatcher, or, if you happen to live in the Netherlands, you can now sent me the egg. Visit www.eigevonden.nl (website is in Dutch) for more info.

Your videos should be shown in the schools,starting from the elementry/ primary schools Then the kids will learn how to protect and respect the nature at the very young age. And myself love watching every video that you uploaded, so,thank you!
I've shown several of his videos to my preschool classes when we are talking about animals, birds and the circle of life as well as conservation.
Great idea!
WHAT'S NEXT ? DID THE BIRD COME BACK TO FIND HIM ? IT LOOKS LIKE A WATER BIRD. ISN'T IT ?
Excellent idea!
agree
I love how birds go through phases of hatching as a hot-mess to fuzzily-cute to hot mess again to then finally emerge as the sleek and beautiful fowl they were meant to be. 😂
You said it perfectly. 😆
The awkward teenage phase is universal 😂
Just like humans
@@eeveeofalltrades4780It's quite the opposite. Human babies are cute. Human adults are fugly
You forgot the ball-sack phase when they're newly hatched 🤣It is more prominent in species that hatch with little to no feathers
Thank you for making the planet a more livable home and a safe haven for birds that had a rough start.
When you released her all by herself my heart sank. That is the toughest part of fostering. You did good dad!
I've nursed a few birds back to health & it's so rewarding when you see them fly off, but at the same time you've developed a bond with them! So it's quite heart wrenching. Worth the though, never hatched anyone, I can't imagine how hard that is to part with them! You become their parent for a short time. 😢😭😭😭. A brilliant thing to do.
Is he your dad
Is he your dad
Is he your dad
I think they both fell on love. Cutest baby ever!
As a guy who is also from the Netherlands, I wanna thank you for what you're doing for the animals. You're honestly living my absolute dream! Being a student living in a tiny studio, I try to do what I can when I find injured animals. I've bonded with 25 ducks around my house and feed them, let them climb in my lap, and give them some cuddles; it's the best thing ever. I hope one day I'll be able to buy a small house with some ground so I can take in injured animals rather than just keeping an eye out and having to call the animal ambulance when something is wrong. You're a true inspiration to try and go after that dream for me. Keep up the hard work!
Edit: some of my rescues are now on my channel in case anyone wants to check them out!
I really hope it works out for you, saving injured animals makes you one of the noblest examples of our species, best of luck.
Naww, thank you so much! I will say that I'm very lucky to leave in a country where an animal ambulance is available; it's part of the reason why I am able to take injured animals home or capture them if need be; they'll pick them up and I won't be taken on the vet costs. I can see how that may be a struggle for people who want to help, but cant due to their own financial struggles in other countries :(
I wish you the best that your dream will come true. Everybody, who has a big heart for animals is a very good person deep inside. Greetings from Austria
Thank you!
Wie is er dan nog meer uit Nederland hier?
People like you make this world a better place. Thank you
Whenever I am sick unto death of whatever's going on in the news - I tune to videos like this. And my faith is restored. Thank you...
A million thanks!!!!!! For a few moments I was a child again. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience with us.
When I was around five years old, I found a red bird that got stuck in a jar. I went & got my grandmother & she took the jar & helped it get out of there. I was so upset with her because she set it free. I wanted to keep it not realizing it would die if I did. I'm in my 60s & that just stayed with me throughout my life. I remember everything about that day. She loved blue & red birds. When she passed, I was sitting outside missing her & a red bird flew close to me & sat on a branch where I was looking at me. I think it came to tell me not to worry that she was alright.
The red chopsticks were genius! I don’t think I would have thought of that, reasons like this are why you thrive in this work. You really are a miracle to these birds when so many would look the other way.
You mean his "red beak?" Lol I thought that was hilarious! And genius, too.
Lol yeah 😂 ultimate hax
Some consider it their job to rescue animals.
For some it is their joy.
What a difference a single letter can make.
Similar to what the caretakers do with whooping cranes in my home state
He has a bird brain.
Hello Alwyn,
For many of us who are animal lovers, your videos can be and often are riveting and are wonderful teaching tool's. I know you will probably blush, but we are learning from, in my humble opinion, a miracle worker. In your quest to save and restore, you are very innovative and think outside the box to find solutions which work. It's very inspiring. I refer friends and others to this channel whenever I can, particularly when egg hatching comes up. You are simply the best! God Bless your heart, family and life's work!
Right. Your vdos shd be shown in schools. It will help grow compassion nd protective instinct to the creatures god created around us . Quite by yr sincerity and patience in raising these helpless souls who hv right to live in this world. .......INDIA
I love your channel and what you're doing for these birds. With all the craziness going on in the world, your channel is a breath of fresh air, and shows that there are things we can do to make the world a better place regardless of what's going on around us. 🙏❤️
Well said!
I live in the US and there are many refuges for birds. Every year there are so many eggs to be taken care of. I can see how dedicated you are and caring for these birds. I was raised on a retired farm and had many experiences taking care all different animals.This was a wonderful childhood rescuing and caring for them. I applaud you efforts in your journey with these creatures. May You be blessed forever
- Yeah I wish The Netherlands was like The USA when it came to saving bird eggs 🥚 😔
I take it the other 2 eggs didn't hatch. I love how you save birds and other animals. God bless you!!!❤❤
If he had incubated them, they would’ve hatched too… I guess he figured that since only one egg was alive at the moment, that that was already going to be a handful to raise as it was, not knowing what species was going to come out of the egg and all. I’m sure if there was life found in the other eggs, he would have incubated them too and risen to the challenge to raise them.
He had nothing to do with it
The other eggs had no life.
He checked to see if they were fertilized. Not all eggs that are laid are fertile.
I’m Dutch but live in Ireland. When I lived in The Netherlands I actively protected the field birds in our fields by cutting the grass way later in the spring, after the eggs in the found and protected nests were hatched. But also the smallest nests of the tiniest birds we didn’t find as they were perfectly hidden and the parents were masters in diverting us from the nest location. Awesome days!
people just have to give them space and birds are super- survivalists
Thank you this is sweet.
My family are Irish and moved to the Netherlands over 100 years ago.. I'm so proud of my Dutch heritage.. the best people are the ones who cares and respect for all living things..
You are an amazing man, and the woman who brought you the eggs too, you did a fine job raising the bird and letting her in the wild, greetings from the Netherlands 🥰
Cut the grass......and where the bees go?
One live, other die
"All lost eggs are welcome." That's so sweet! ❤️
I raised a Robin once from the pinfeather stage...til it was ready to migrate. What a rewarding experience. I was 13 years old at the time. Joined the Ornithology Club at the 4H to learn what to do. I've had a life long love of birds... 74 now...still loving them. 😂❤
Alwyn, you bring so much joy and love to the planet. When raising chicks, you get no sleep, yet you push through and give them 24/7 care. What a lovely soul that you have. 🙏💕
I love how inventive you are. With one bird you record the parents call. With the other you paint chopsticks red! I love It
That was a stroke of genius imho
What a wonderful, caring, nurturing, loving man this is. The world would be a utopia if it were populated by people just like this man.
Это очень сложно и требует огромного терпения и любви!!! Но это невероятно забавно наблюдать за ними . Всех Вам благ!!!!!!!

I recue stray cats, just saved a starving kitten, but sadly couldn't find her mom despite desperately trying. Anyway, I can't imagine the joy I would feel if I were able to save a bird before it's even born. Totally appreciate your kindness ❤
I love this man. His face clearly shows his love for his adopted “children”.
There must be 100s of wild birds that all know you as mommy / daddy. I love your videos. Thank you for making them. 😊
So precious this little bird is. Thanks for saving her.
De Scholekster is de afgelopen jaren in aantallen sterk afgenomen. Super gaaf dat je zo'n kleintje hebt gered!
There will a very special place in heaven for this guy. All the animals he has recused and cared for. Bless you dude!!!
You are a beautiful soul. I've never even heard of oystercatchers. What a funny name for an bird that doesn't eat them! Also, thank you to that falconer who gave this beauty a chance at life by not just destroying the eggs.
I understand how much work this process is for you but at the same time, having all the footage of what the bird goes through has got to be so much fun. Good for you to take the time to give this one bird a chance at life. ❤
I imagine the footage he takes is extremely useful to researchers as well.
Keep up the great work. I imagine its bitter sweet when you let them go after raising them. I hope they remember you and come back to visit.
This man is a real legend of planet earth ❤ hats of to u bro
This is just so Cool. Wild eggs should not be destroyed. Mother Nature needs our help.
Bless the man who brought the eggs to you and Bless you for following through and following your heart. Imagine the world without this beautiful creature in it? I can’t. Thank you for your commitment and advocacy. Just one egg being hatched and living in captivity is rare, but being able to raise, train release in to the wild when the deck is already stacked against survival alone is truly amazing! Cheers to all involved including the bird! ❤
The falconer was a woman btw :-)
Woman 😊
Beautiful, thank you for sharing all the time and effort you put into saving this little life. ❤
I found your channel today. What an incredible delight it is. Congratulations on what you do.
What a beautiful little bird! Very clever idea with using red sticks to get the chick to eat. So excited to see her enjoy the new world hope she comes back often!
She scratches her head with her foot coming up under her wing. The wings start really small. Very interesting to watch her growth and development day-by-day. Loved it when she was starting to jump and hover, just like a jump jet. Good job!
What a fascinating development and adorable bird!! Your videos always warm my heart 💖 Keep up the amazing work!
Zon mooie video weer. De Vogelfluisteraar! Dank je wel voor het delen van weer een prachtige video. ❤
Animals are extraordinarily resilient and you sir, are even more extraordinary 💞
You do such an amazing thing rescuing and reintroducing animals back into the wild
Big thank you for your effort to save birds! 💚
My 5 years old loves your videos.
Teaching kindness to the kids important and you are very good example for that.
thank you for every video you shared we are very grateful 🙏❤️
I love the way she goes over her wing with her leg to scratch herself. It's so cute! ❤️
The same signature move since she was a tiny baby bird. I wonder if it’s a species thing or a “this bird” thing.
@@DJ-Ophidian
I wondered that too.
@@DJ-Ophidian Bird thing
I love how she would stumble a little over her large feet! You never fail to amaze me. You’re a blessed man.
What an excellent job of raising this cutie, hope it remembers you and visit once in awhile.
She grew up looking gorgeous! Thank you for such wonderful care. I'm sure that she's grateful.
Aww, she's one beautiful bird! And she knows she's a bird, she's learning to fly! Amazing how quickly the wings grew! I hope she is safe wherever she is!
You are a man who makes the world a better place
I saw four eggs, three in the nest and one next to it. I guess you are too!?
Thank you for saving this little soul! God bless you man!
The fourth one looked broken
Blessings for your efforts to help them all.
😭 i cried during all of it, I’m just so grateful for people like you. ❤
It amazes me how long and strong those little legs are tucked in the shell. What a pretty bird she is. The red chopstick were brilliant. I notice the field near the pond is full of flowers and grass and looks really healthy. Congratulations for now being able to legally help with the wild bird eggs - that's a great accomplishment too. Another great rescue - thank-you! Just a question - was the 4th egg outside the nest broken? Are those nests usually on the ground or are they raised about it? Thanks 💛
I don't know about the third egg, but oystercatcher nests are always on the ground like that. The egg pattern blends them nearly perfectly into the ground. Beautiful birds.
@@beth4928 The camouflage of the twigs and the speckles and patterns on the shell are just amazing. Thats why I was wondering about the 4th egg - its in the ground outside the nest on the left hand side at about the 8 o'clock mark. I hope the little hatched bird is now confident and doing well out there in the big wide world. 🥰
@@beth4928 he said they don't eat oysters. Do you know what they eat?
When I seen the fourth egg laying outside the nest, I thought the exact same thing, I wonder if she seen it.
Вы,молодец,разбираетесь в птицах,если надо помогаете ,всегда,спасибо вам за все
Your choice of music makes this so perfect, these journey’s of nature story’s you let us all come along on.. so simply delightful!
She's beautiful! I'm so glad she survived & grew up strong enough with your care & dedication for her to be released! ❤
What a blessing it is to watch you care and discover these beautiful birds. Your patience and enjoyment comes through. This pretty little bird has a really good dad. Cool idea for the red chopsticks. Worked like a charm. ❤🐣❤🐣❤🐣❤🐣
whatching this men makes me have hope to find someone kind to love, theres still good hearted people in the world
Outstanding job raising this egg into a young Bird , Great job documenting the journey ever step of the way. AWESOME THANKS FOR SHARING, BEAUTIFUL BIRD HAS A CHANCE THANKS TO YOU , GOD BLESS YOU.
Is it only me or something but this man like an angel getting old makes me feel sad.
Thank you for always caring about nature ❤️
Beautiful! Oystercatchers are one of my favorite birds. They are such cheerful, funny little fellows! I love the chirps they make as they fly from hunting shore to shore.
Omg after so many years watching these videos I just learnt that the videos are filmed in Netherlands! 😱 wooow Netherlands you are so lucky to have this man in your country 🇳🇱
I have utmost respect for people who respect other living beings. This is the only way to make our World a better place, I just hope more and more people become aware. Thank you for doing all this and keep it up, you are a real man.
So beautiful to see how you take care of these birds and other wildlife!
You are an awesome dude,
Thank you for warming the hearts of many ❤️☺️
What a cute little bird ! Thank you !!!
Every hatch is a blessing. It's so magical to watch life emerging from a shell. It was just an egg and suddenly it is a bird. Just magical.
It’s like a kinder egg surprise every time 🐣🐥🥰
I'd never heard of an Oystercatcher, either. You are the Birdman of Netherlands! Thank you so much for all you do for our animals friends! 😘
We have them here in NZ such cool Lil birds
@@twistdpossum
Do you know why they call them "oystercatchers"?
It's such a unique name for these gorgeous little birds that Don't catch Oysters. 😅😂😅
@@PADS62 They are birds that are typical found around the coastline where they eat molluscs like whelks and mussels. They are also fully capable off living inland and surviving on insects and worms, but the inland ones tend to migrate for the winter. The dutch name for these is scholekster wich translate to plaice magpie.
@AVDB95
Thank you so So much for this information. I enjoyed it immensely!
Have an Awesome week. 😊
I love how much your channel has grown and am elated to hear you now run a sanctuary! Little Albert is surely proud of all you’ve accomplished and what you continue to do for those in need :)
That is an absolutely gorgeous little creature. Thank you for saving her! You’re an angel in human form! 😇
Du rettest ein komplettes Leben, ❤ 🤝, was für ein wunderbarer Mensch du bist....❣️🤝
That was fantastic. What a beautiful example of how to care for the little one. Loved the red sticks, that was very creative.
I have used chopsticks before to feed a young bird, they mimic the shape of the parents' beaks so very effective. Mine was older, it had left the nest too soon and was in danger from my cats. But it saw me as the enemy and pecked at the chopsticks when they got near because it saw them as a threat, but then realised they had food and got used to the idea.
It rejoined its family when I released it.
This world, right now, needs more people like you.
You are doing God's work, and that is such a good example for the rest of us. I agree with the earlier poster that said your videos should be shown in primary schools. They are very heartwarming.
I expect rescue centres cannot afford the time to look after hatching eggs. Thank you for being so caring❤
Reminds me of a parrot I raised from his hatching. He was a part of our family for about 25 years. Sadly he developed a respiratory issue and we lost him. He was a great deal of fun and full of personality.
As a parrot owner, I am devastated for your loss! I adopted a 41 YO Goffin's Cockatoo a couple of years ago. I also have a 27 year old Rose Breasted Cockatoo. I've had her since she was 18 months old. And, I have a green cheek conure who is 25 whom I've had since he was weaned.
I had my GCC's cage mate for 21 of his 22 years. I adored him! We (my 25 YO GCC and I) lost him last year due to a respiratory illness that took a turn for the worse right after he seemed to be getting better. My living GCC and I have mourned together missing him. It's beyond difficult to lose a good friend! 😪
@@scootermom1791 most people don't understand how amazing birds are.
@@woodrow1037 they sure don't
I grew up with a cat, a dachshund,and a bird. I’m in my sixties, I still have cats and have had birds along the way. Also I had 7 fish tanks. At this time, I only have 2 cats. However, once I get a place of my own, there will be the cats, birds and fish! Oh ya, I also raised Hamsters for a while. I just Love Gods Critters!
This is such a "feel good" channel. Thank you for all that you do!
Good people will i'd ever seen on your channels. This world right now, needs much like you Albert, i'm feels so happy because you'v save a human.
❤ is so wonderful and amazing! It’s exciting to see what will come out of the eggs!
I raised two parrots, one gold and blue macaw, and one red Scarlet McCraw. However, I did not raise them from eggs. I purchased them at seven weeks old. That was years and years and years ago now I just love to sit here and watch the wildlife outside my doors in my yard and watch these amazing TH-cam videos. Thank you so much for sharing this.😊
So cute, this bird couldnt have landed in a better pair of loving hands !
This man is literally an angel and the world is such a better place with him here.
So gentle in how you nurture and then let them go to live as meant to! ❤️
Sir: your dedication to the creatures of our planet makes me smile and cry every time I see one of your videos.
You're so hands on in raising them but somehow they always have what they need to leave your nest and take care of themselves. That's truly amazing!
No matter how many times I see one I always get excited when I see one of your little eggs hatch. This one was particularly exciting because you didn’t know what type of bird it was. Thanks for your videos. As you can tell, I really enjoy them. ❤
If you like animals (and egg hatching specifically!), are you familiar with Snake Discovery? They've been posting tons of snake hatching videos recently and they have a similar feel-good vibe to ACCA. If you like this channel, I have a feeling you'd like them as well.

Hello,
I don't know if they saw your comment, but it sparked a warm light in my eye. 😉
I LOVE baby Anythings! And especially snakes!
I don't have any now, but my first one was baby ball python, and the other one was a reticulated python.
My ball grew to about 5 ft... BUT my reticulated grew to be 14 ft long, and when I had to give him up (I gave him to a breeder in exchange for a couple of babies when I returned home) he was eating full grown rabbits, he was that big! It took 3 or 4 guys to lift him. Lol
And Noo!! The rabbits were from a guy who grew them for food (usually people, but a few of us snake people used them too), and he always killed them humanly & he'd have one ready for me when I picked it up.
And all you people that want to yell at me... well just hush. Snakes need to eat too! 😊🐍
@@PADS62Anyone who wants to yell at you needs to remind themselves where their last serving of hot wings came from. Only the vegans can lecture us because at least they practice what they preach. Personally I can't have anything as a pet that eats something else with a backbone. I didn't even like pinching the last segment off the back legs of the crickets that I fed to my lizards (so the spines wouldn't damage the lizards' guts).
@@azuradawn5683 Hi Melissa thanks for your suggestion. I do indeed watch snake hatchings! I watch Keary Molinaro - I will Snake Discovery to my list. ❤️
