No Idea What Was About To Hatch | Wild Egg Rescue from birth to release
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2024
- 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.

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!
Thank you for making the planet a more livable home and a safe haven for birds that had a rough start.
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...
thats right , this brings smiles to me also , GODS nature will always be a wonderful plus in our lives ,and hope in our eternity
When you look at what's going on in Gaza, Ukraine, Yemen and other parts of the world, watching your videos restores my faith in humanity and reminds me that not everyone in the world is mad.
You are so right. Mend, not destroy. War is not the way to further your aims.
I look forward to this lovely escape at the end of the day. Not only is the video and the message special, the music selection warms the heart.
The world is descending into total madness. The Bible foretold today's crazy. It's going to get a lot worse before it's done.
@@monicamailman3796 The Bible is nonsense. Anyone who has faith in it is gullible.
So true ...
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?
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.
larrywalsh9939 - You are so right. ♥️💯
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
There must be 100s of wild birds that all know you as mommy / daddy. I love your videos. Thank you for making them. 😊
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.
I love this man. His face clearly shows his love for his adopted “children”.

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
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.
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 🥚 😔
You save birds, pigs, horses, chicks and so many more animals! You are a true hero of saving these beautiful animals and you are a wonderful sweet man. Thank you for saving animals lives...
There will a very special place in heaven for this guy. All the animals he has recused and cared for. Bless you dude!!!
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. 🙏💕

Like you, I raised hundreds of abandoned and orphaned baby birds and eggs over the years. Before the internet, there was a lot of trial and error trying to figure out how to raise them. One of my most difficult was a baby dove. i had no idea at the time that the mother dove secreted a milk-like substance into her crop and the chick "nursed" by sucking the milk out of her crop! I figured it out by the way the chick was behaving when I tried to feed it. I cut the tip off of the end of the nipple of a small pet nursing bottle, and filled the bottle with thickened baby formula and cereal just to the point it wouldn't pour out, and it allowed the chick to stick its beak in the nipple and suck out the solution. It worked perfectly!
So precious this little bird is. Thanks for saving her.
Beautiful, it does the heart good knowing there’s someone who cares about wild bird eggs that still contain life. 💚
It does! And your post just did my heart a little bit of good so thank you!
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
You do such an amazing thing rescuing and reintroducing animals back into the wild
A place where every egg is welcome. True hero Sir ..🙌🏽
Sir, you have a heart of gold.
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
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.
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
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.
I found your channel today. What an incredible delight it is. Congratulations on what you do.
This is just so Cool. Wild eggs should not be destroyed. Mother Nature needs our help.
"All lost eggs are welcome." That's so sweet! ❤️
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.
Herz❤lichen Dank für Ihre tollen Videos!🫠 Sie sind ein fabelhaften Tier liebender Mensch!🫶🫶🫶 Danke🤝schön das Sie uns an Ihrer Reise des Lebens teilnehmen lassen! 👌👌❤❤
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 😊
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!
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 delightful little story to watch. The white fluffy belly on day one was so soft looking and walking on day two, with a little dinosaur profile to boot. Thanks for sharing your sweet stories.
I don’t have a lot, but I will give it to anyone that saves lives of, and makes life easier for, birds especially! But wildlife really… Birds and horses are my personal favorites. Your desire and dedication to helping these birds is commendable in every way possible. God Bless!
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. ❤🐣❤🐣❤🐣❤🐣
😭 i cried during all of it, I’m just so grateful for people like you. ❤
I'm so glad for people like you and your efforts to support the "homeless"!
You go above and beyond to help these chick's and the patients and loving hands...wow what a wonderful man you are. ❤
So wonderful to find a human being who knows how fantastic and precious this world is as well as all the creatures who live on it. Such love, care, and awe emanates from this video.🙏
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 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.
Day six made me giggle in a way I haven't.....in a long time. Much gratitude kind Sir, love to you and your wonderful Comment Section Family ❤️, proud to join such a beautiful group of folks.
Love from Texas y'all ❣️
I guess I never knew how hard these guys work to come forth in this world. All I can say is WOW!!
You are a man who makes the world a better place
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 how she would stumble a little over her large feet! You never fail to amaze me. You’re a blessed man.
Hey Liam, I live in Holland as well and I worked for an animal welfare unit for near 20 years. Also on the ambulance. All the injured birds are taken to Zundert, where there is a very big birds-specilised centre, runned by a vet. Nice guy. But you better not overromantisize this work. You know in our cities there are a lot of pigeons living. Half of the rides we do is picking up these injured pigeons and bring them to a vet if necessary and than to the birdshelter in Zundert. But besides that I had so much pleasure working there. Like in this video, I also recued a oistercatcher. What a fears kind of bird. With his beak he nearly penetrated the box he was in! Saved some deers too, foxes, a horse, herons... what not. All animals who live outside can get in trouble. Cats, dogs....
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.
Thank you for taking the time to show us her growth into the big world. Blessings to you and this little one
I always admire the amount of work and commitment you put into these birds. Great job, she's a beauty! Hope she's still out there and well ❤ You're such a treasure for helping the birds out.
I love the way it lifts his leg to go on the outside of its wing, so it can scratch its face. What tall and strong legs this little one has! What everyone feels, I feel and that is God bless you.♥️
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 🙏❤️
Thank you for always caring about nature ❤️
This world, right now, needs more people like you.
So beautiful to see how you take care of these birds and other wildlife!
Bless you - what a kind heart. Thank you, I loved watching the days go by. Obvious I would have never been able to see this in the wild. Consider yourself hugged. 🤗. Quick addition - cracked me up Mama with your red beak. Very observant of you, and it worked.
What a beautiful thing you are doing rescuing these lovely birds!!!
Another life saved because of the love, care and commitment you and others in your orbit bring. . So much time and hard work. A true labour of love. Thank you.
This is such a "feel good" channel. Thank you for all that you do!
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!
This channel is so joyful. I’m also still amazed at how fast birds grow, even though it makes sense that they’d grow fast and become independent in a short amount of time in the wild.
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.
Subscribed. 100% respect. Does anyone know how hard it is to be a momma bird? Thry have to be the most tirelessly working being in the planet. This man is an amazing momma bird. But now I have to save all unknown eggs I fond because of this channel. I already rescue every turtle, dog, cat and anything else I see. I even have released 3 foot long alligator and wild hog from a pen trap.i'd take a baby puma in heartbeat. But I have shied away from birds and baby bunnies - bad experience. Except one baby sea bird I rescued in Mexico. I kept for a few days and found someone to care for it until release as I couldnt take it back to the states for border checks. ❤❤❤
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 :)
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!
This man is literally an angel and the world is such a better place with him here.
This man is a real legend of planet earth ❤ hats of to u bro
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. 😂❤
so cute.. I love how you care about nature so much! What a wonderful human you are..
God bless you & your family for taking care of all the wonderful, amazing & special animals you come across! You are truly a special man & raising your children to do the same as they grow is amazing! Thank you!

The sheer joy on your face as you watch her tells me you are so very happy doing this
She grew so fast! Your a wonderful man for saving these birds, thank you
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. ❤️

I understand your convictions about nit feeding anything with a backbone.... But he Wouldn't Eat His Broccoli! 🤣😂🤣😂

Animals are extraordinarily resilient and you sir, are even more extraordinary 💞
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.
When I was a little girl living in the city, birds would get in our house by way of our chummy. Now I'm 1 of 7 kids, the third to the youngest. But every time a bird got inside my parents would come get me to get the bird. I wasn't trained for this, but I knew what to do. I would get my doll blanket, close the doors to room, make sure there was only a little bit of light, put blanket over the bird. After it claimed down, I would pick it up, turn it over, speak softly to it and watch as it want to sleep, then take it outside, place it up right and it would fly away. No one else in my family knew how I learn this or could do this. I've always believed this to be one of God's gift to me. Animals even some wildlife have come to me. I know inside what to do or what not to do.
I love your channel and how you stand by animals! Much love from America!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

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! 😪

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.
