The Smallest Pigeon you have ever seen

- By chance I got hold of the smallest Pigeon egg in the world. When I visited a 70 year old bird lover who was sick, I encountered this rare species from Australia. Diamond doves are so sweet and beautiful, I fell in love with them right away. The one I raised has become very tame, she’s a great friend.

This man sacrificed sleep for a bird that’s the purest thing I’ve seen today
Does it regularly 💕
@Not Me The real heroes we can never EVER give back enough to. The sacrifices a parent does that their children may never even know about are what makes good ones magical. Salute o7 ❤️️
So happy the gentleman looked for help. I hope they all get the care they need! (Including the gentleman!)
Amen
Agree!
I absolutely agree

What a tiny, sweet baby! And thank you for going back to see the older man and checking on him! So happy his surgery went well. I could see such joy on his face when he held the dove! Thank you for your kindness to humans as well as animals. ❤️
PS!! I cannot say thank you enough for bringing that bird back to visit that elderly gentleman I can’t even imagine how much joy and happiness that gave him!! Your kindness and love knows no bounds and that is so rare incredible I hope that you get to visit the elderly man at least maybe once a month or even once every other month I’m sure it would make his whole year so much better and he’s healing much faster thank you so much for doing that I didn’t stop smiling just amazing!,

That man must be so sad to give up all his babies...🥺 It is obvious he cares greatly for them. But, he must be so happy to know some of them will live on with you! 🥰
It's most likely bittersweet
Yes it most be sad of that
I still think it's great that ACCA's Friend was one of those pet owners who are responsible enough to make sure that their pets have some place to go when they are going to be in a situation. So many times I've seen videos of rescues where because the old person just started getting old and unable to take care of their animals the animals went downhill as well and nobody came to pick those animals up, so I'm just very glad for how much this guy cares about his animals and wanted to make sure they got a new home

I'm afraid his kindness makes me cry. If only everyone else cared so much, the world would be a much better place.
@@kingcurry6594 so true!
Raising a bird and seeing her grow is an amazing experience, it's something unique and sweet. And when she lands on your shoulder to cuddle, this is just beyond words.

The absolute joy in that man's eyes when you brought the baby dove to show him, ugh, my heart. You are the best bird papa, and such a kind and loving human. Thanks for bringing sunshine to my day. ❤
I agree with you and he is a great bird daddy
Your name-
I shed a tear seeing that, it was like baby returning to papa again
I wholeheartedly second this! warmed my heart and made my day
I thought it wouldn't be that wholesome but Jesus he just seemed so happy
I literally teared up when he initiated to bring the birds to the old man. The old man also reminded me of my grand pa who got stroke and his feathered friends went downhill because of it. I wish you more blessings to come ACCA. And I will also pray for that old man. So glad his operation went well, pretty sure he missed his birds a lot.
Sorry for your grandpa and his birds.
I had wet eyes too! My son looked at me crazy when I tried to explain why I was crying about an old man and his birbs lolll
,
So cute😭
Sorry for ur grandpa,I hope he’s in heaven
This was such a wonderful story. How kind of you to go and see the older man. I am quite sure that was a real treat for him and it did his heart good to know that you are caring for his birds and that he had done the right thing in giving them to you. 💙💙
The tiny heartbeats being visible is just beautiful to me. Thank you for giving these eggs a chance!!
And now I sit here in the middle of the night and cry. This was so wholesome to watch. The smile of this elderly man says all you need to know. THANK YOU Alwyn for saving another little creature.
😭😭😭
Same with me. Tears were shed.
A beautiful story that we need more of.
And for saving this gentleman’s heart.
Even raising them so long, you can see the joy the old man has with interacting with the sweet birdie. I hope you'll him visit often! 🥺 It's so sad to have to say goodbye to our animals.
The Pigeon Group Birds used to feed their chicks with their half digest vomit. The main food for pigeons are cereals like Rice, wheat, Maize, corn etc. I also raised Pigeon babies. We feed them rice chewed in my mouth and directly feed them from my mouth to their mouth.
Kinda gross but good(and natural)
Is that okay? What with the amount of bacterium in human mouths, but birds are also immune to a lot of it though.
@@SnorrioK this ↑
also with how there's lots of bird stuff that could go into ours-
Parent birds put the food into their crop where its crushed/mashed then regurgitated and fed to the babies. Humans and birds have vastly different bacterial ecosystems in their mouths and digestive tracts so I'm astounded none of your birds ever got infections 💀 for anyone else a syringe, feeding spoon, or bottle is definitely the way to go for feeding baby birds, as much as mouth to mouth is more 'natural' it also poses unnecessary risk to the birds
I love to see how carefully Uncle looks after and cares for a small egg that looks fragile. 🥰

This man.. the gift that just keeps giving
He is the Santa clause of birds
These birds ended up in the most wonderful hands! Grandpa was very selfless to decide to find his babies homes because he couldn’t care for them anymore. Some people just keep them and neglect them because they can’t give them up. Grandpa did the right thing and I’m glad he can visit with his babies thanks to ACCA. This episode especially warmed my heart very much. Thank you for all you do ACCA. ❤️
How he survives his sleeping rhythm...
He is a miracle.
How the hell can someone dislike this. ACCA always makes me cry. So much respect for life
Probably PETA
BAD BAD BAD BAAAAAAAAAD PETA
But peta thinks this is anima! Abu!se
I cry too! Lol my fiance and I were sitting next to each other and I start sniffling. He asked if I'm ok, and I said "ya, ACCA released a new video." 😆 The baby bird videos ALWAYS make me cry. Sometimes when I know I'm going to have a stressful week, I don't watch the videos on the release date and save them for when I need a happy cry later in the week.
Yeah me like: "There are always these unfathomable minds of some people"
I love how some pigeons have a type of milk they feed their baby’s
Ehh, I doubt that's the implication here.
.... How XD it not REALY bird milk. Birds aren't mammals.
@@LimationsTvT hi i don’t think you know this but pigeons actually do make “milk” it’s really cool! you can search it up in your free time
@@LimationsTvT I know but it is like a form of milk
Flamingos do it too :) its called crop milk.
What you did for that man must have given him so much hope and joy. Just more proof that not all angels have feathers. But love, kindness and compassion can give anyone or anything wings. :) ❤

Am i glad i don’t have an i-phone (i don’t use my phone to wake up in general though.. it’s the older digital alarm clock sound that fucks me up)
Such a small birb, I love this man, he always shows such care and respect for his birds it's beautiful.
SO SMALLL OH MY GOD MY HEART MELTED HELP
lol
I love baby pigeons❤️🐣
My uncle had 3 diamond doves, 2 sitting on eggs. When I visited him a year later, there were 9. They’re such cute birds
You are such a gentle soul. Saving life and bringing an old man joy. The world needs more people like you. You are the best humanity has to offer.
This is so cuuuute 😭
He even went to show little birb to the old man 🥺 I'm sure he misses his birds. The guy looked so happy to play with her!!!

I actually had a pigeon rescue myself few weeks ago! There was a mother pigeon with a baby on my balcony. I didn’t know what to do so I called a local ‘duivenmelker’. He said he could take care of them both. So I brought them to him and has taken care of them ever since. The baby pigeon is really getting big and finally getting all his feathers. l’m updated with pictures every now and then and it’s really fun to see him grow up! He’s called Pietertje the Pigeon by the way!
Are you Dutch or Afrikaans? The name Pietertjie sounds like one of those languages. It's a very cute story btw.
At my grandma's there was a fledgling wood pigeon on the ground and I saw cats coming near it. We tried to get it in a box so we could put it on the roof, but sadly it flew indoors! It didn't move from its spot for hours, but we did manage to get it outside in a safe place.
Why didnt you let the pigeons on the balcony ?
Ahhh i hate to be this person but next time please please bring it to a wildlife shelter, pigeon keepers do have a lot of experience keeping pigeons, but they're not allowed to take wild birds unless they have the right licenses (assuming this is in the netherlands)
There's animal ambulances all over the country, and there could even be a wildlife shelter within driving distance from you!
ACCA is most likely a licenced wildlife rehabber, which gives people the idea that any individual can just rehab wild animals. They can't. I love him so so much but I really wish he'd address this sometime and make sure to point people to wildlife shelters when they find wild birds in need
sincerely, a wildlife shelter volunteer from the netherlands
@@batfurs3001 City pigeons are no wild species. They are offspring from escaped pigeons. It's not the same as a wooddove or a turtle dove. So if somebody who knows bussines take care about them, what's the problem?
Those big fingers holding such a tiny figure with such care. Amazing.
Thanks so much for bringing the baby back to the man so he could see the great care you've given it! I really hope you continue to visit him every so often with the bird, it seemed to really make him light up with so much joy!
Oh man, I'm crying. This brought back a lot of memories, I used to have daimond doves and once raised a chick by hand too. Got me through a very difficult time when I was suffering with terrible anxiety. Taking care of that tiny precious bird helped me get through it and I had a very close bond with him. I called him Albert aswell. Shortly after that time I discovered your channel!
So happy to see the man holding her at the end. Thank you Bird Man❤
What ended up happening to Albert the pigeon?
@@anonymousreviewer169 well, he and his tiny dove friends lived with me for six or seven years. They now live on a horse farm with my friends and will soon have a beautiful aviary to live in.
I was holding my breath when she was hatching, then when you found a way to feed her. She's so tiny, with a huge will to live! I loved watching her grow & take her first flight. Thank you for taking her to visit the elderly man. It was a true family reunion. I loved this video ❤️
@TAN YU CHEN Moe lol
Your breath?
Este hombre merece una medalla por su corazon de oro.
Your videos give me such joy. So calming and peace of mind.
Dear God,
Please bless the old bird man with health and joy. May his surgery go well and have a full recovery. May his days be long and fulfilled. Looks after this man with all your blessings. May his birds all be happy forever! ❤️
Yeah!
Amen

@@mostakira7405 I get that it looks like praying but isn’t that the thank you sign
@@bonelessmice6828 wait really?
I am also a pigeon guy. I can only imagine the pain this man felt when he needed to give up the hobby. Every bird has own character, own story own life and a pigeon fancier knows it. People are so used to cats and dogs, but can't imagine what a true love and affection a pigeon has towards its owner. Pigeons are like angels. ❤️❤️❤️
me too I am a pigeon zone
I'm a cat person. Always have been. But pigeons are really neat animals. Especially all the different varieties of domestic birds.
Never seen this tiny breed before though. Seems like a fun one to have as a group.
Unfortunately though my cats would just think they'd be tasty little morsels. Which is part of why they're indoor only. House cats are the ultimate killers.
But no hunting songbirds for them.
Raised pigeons my hole life, such a great hobby 👍
I truly agree. Pigeons are amazing birds

A beautiful story. Thank you for saving the birds

Your videos beyond such joy to me, they are therapeutic to my mind I just started watching your videos my 5 year old shows me his iPad to watch a baby parrot video and since then I have been watching. Your hard work for thr birds and animals is astonishing thank you kindly for what your doing. God bless you.
I can’t tell you how much joy I receive from watching you tenderly care for these precious ones ❤
I would love to be apart of what you do and share what you must experience that’s so amazing!!!!
I love how you love❤❤❤❤
Makes my heart smile and cry tears of genuine joy❤❤❤❤
I know the wellness of the animals is important but what about the wellness of the dude himself? How much sleep is he getting if he has to set so many alarms to take care of the birds? I hope he is doing okay running on a few hours of sleep. Love what you do though, just kind of concerned. ❤️
Its not easy but then again its not easy sleeping with a baby human either XD
I was actually just talking with him on Patreon about a possible way to help with this so hopefully it might work out :) we’ll both have to watch and find out :)
He can rest normally many times , u know not all day you get a little pigeon egg :)
They mature quickly, so he probably doesn't have to do it constantly. But yeah, it would be rough
i think he will feel rewarded for all the work he does
I think a few days lost sleep is worth it in order to take care of such a precious life :D
When the old man smiled while holding the dove... the FEELS 😭
Loving and heartwarming. You are proof that there are kindhearted animal lovers that do daily incredible things to help creatures - large and small. I love your story and will be sure to send it in particular to the widow of a phenomenal pigeon lover - my brother has passed away and has been gone going on four years. We all miss him terribly and will always remember how much he treasured his pigeons. That makes your saving story even more poignant to me. Thank you so much!
Such beautiful souls every one. Thank you. All the best.
The most down to earth person I have ever seen
i read it as pigeon and wholeheartedly agreed
I love it when he breathes on them.

Can everyone please take a moment to appreciate how caring and kind this man is! Taking care of animals! God bless you!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful journey of this tiny bird. I'm glad the old man is recovering and hope he stays healthy and happy.
I love how generous Alwyn is with everything and everyone in his life. A truly kind and caring man our world so desperately needs more of in this day and age.
I adore that he even took the time to go and take the little dove to see the old man who had to sadly part with all of his birds. The joy and smiles on his face says it all. He could have easily chosen to throw the eggs away, but he kindly gave them to Alwyn and one precious soul got the chance at life. 🙏🏻

@Not RickRoll 👇... why is there always bots
Oh this made me so happy. I used to have diamond doves amd ring neck doves. They are so tiny. I have reised a few dozen doves and probably 100 or more larger pigeons. I used to bring a heating pad to school and bring the birds too. I turned a stiff sided large lunch box into a little home. Some days I would have 5 or 6 with me. The teachers knew I couldn't leave them home, and they loved to see the growing progress. So many people remember me as the bird girl. My nickne in school was "Chicken" because it wasn't just doves and pigeons I brought. Baby rabbits, baby mice, baby rats, baby hamsters. This was the one thing I lived doing and I miss it so much. It fills you with so much joy and love. Thank you for sharing this. It reminded me if many many good memories. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Incredible gift you have! Impossible levels of gentleness, sensitivity and faithfulness to brutal feeding schedules.
Bravo!

Ik right! The sound they make is also adorable!
The dedication of this man, waking up every hour to check on a egg
I've just found your channel. You are a very special human, and so dedicated to these fragile lives! I'm in the US, South Carolina. I used to raise exotic birds....cockatiels, parrots, and parakeets. I know how hard it is to warm them, feed them every 2 hours, and just keep the sick ones going. It got to be too much for me, and I had to give it up. I had children of my own. I'm now 60 yrs. old, and disabled. I'm so happy to have found you and your beautiful and inspiring videos. God bless you for what you do. I look forward to all of your future videos! 👍❤🙂
This so far is my favorite video! Such joy it has brought the older man, the rescuer and myself! Thank you!
Your kindness knows no bounds. The sparkle of joy in that older gentleman's eyes was just so heart warming. Thank you.

Everytime the lil one moved in the egg my own little one moved. Life is so beautiful. I can't wait to be able to hold her like you held this little chick. Blessings to everyone.
Congrats! I hope you have the best of luck and best wishes to you
OMG, feeding every 2 hours? And moving an egg 3 times a day? I can't even remember to take my meds all the time. This man is a saint!
These videos make me so happy that I am brought to tears!! So lovely to see something so positive and loving. Such a change from this world of war and fear. We need more people like you to change the world and make it a beautiful place for our children.
This is so heartwarming! One of the best videos I've ever watched!
I wanted to go up to my room to watch the video but I ended up watching it all on the stairs because it was so interesting.
He's a handsome old gentleman. Thank you for being respectful and kind to him and his birds! Beautiful little tiny dove!!!!
Thanks for your kindness and care with this tiny one.
The joy he has when they hatch is priceless, all the knowledge and skills and love he has to achieve this is unreal. I love watching the work he does. BRILLIANT 😍👍
As a proud owner of diamond doves, I am so happy to see my favorite bird on this channel. They are so sweet and tame when raised with lots of handling (as you definitely did!). I love just watching them preen while perched on my finger.

Every video I think is the most heartwarming. And. well, so is this. Such a lovely, tiny little bird! And then your kindness to bring the bird for him to see. Being left without any of his birds, this must have been an important visit for him. He sees his last little baby growing well. His heart must have soared.
What a sweet little bird and two very special and devoted men. Beautiful inside and out ! Love what you do for wildlife and people !

It just amazes me to see the miricle of life, so precious, so fragile.
I'm 62 years old and I'm still amazed that a living creature can be born from an egg. Thanks so much for your videos. You are a kind man.
fun fact, protomammals used to lay eggs. if it wasn't for a retrovirus that changed our mammalian biology, humans could've been laying eggs to this day. imagine waking up every hour to see your baby hatch :)
I have 4 nests laying right now. Im 75. You killed me with this. But I hope he thinks of all the hatchlings, all the birds and the life he gave to this world. God bless you both. You replenish the earth🥹
How could they not survive? They landed up with you. Let alone survive, they will thrive.😊 God bless you and your magical creatures.
Absolutely adorable! I feel awful that the man had to give up his friends. I hope he is doing much better! I live in the middle of a small city and every day I feed a flock of about 26 feral pigeons. I always buy them vitamin and mineral enriched wild bird feed. It's a bit of an expense. But I quit drinking alcohol. So I spend the money on wild animals. Watching them helps with sobriety. So it's a win win. Thank-you for sharing your compassion with us!
When he founds an animal in need:
So you have choosen.. life
So kind of you man. You treated birds like children and gave your full efforts in incubating till first flight.
I was holding my breath when she was hatching, then when you found a way to feed her. She's so tiny, with a huge will to live! I loved watching her grow & take her first flight. Thank you for taking her to visit the elderly man. It was a true family reunion. I loved this video ❤️, I Hope One Day I Will Do It.
The smile on that man's face and in his heart was worth it all. Awesome! He was looking a lot better too.🙏❤

I have seen some really small birds in Australia that I was curious to know what the size of their chicks would be
Small
@any typical person small? No it's tiny
Lol
@•🎃i҈z҈ s҈p҈o҈o҈k҈y҈ c҈a҈t҈🎃• i swear thst every single gacha person says yuh or nuh :/
This chick was literally the size of a fingertip.
I think for feeding something that small (if you don't have very specialized equipment), a drinking straw might work well.
Just dip in the food, and hold a finger over the other end. The surface tension will hold it in place and let you have good control - and not push liquid into the animal too hard so it chokes.
Not an easy task regardless... :)
Maybe something smaller than a drinking straw, like of "coffee stirrer" size, or a clean & unused tube for directing aerosols?
I was also concerned with how he was feeding with the syringe. Doves/pigeons don’t eat from their parents like other birds so. They actually insert their beak into their parents’ beak and suck the milk out of the crop. So the nipple he tried was actually the best option. I can understand force feeding with the syringe at first, but after a day or two he should’ve switched to the proper method of letting the chick suck up the milk.
A small syringe works the best and it can be fed one handed and controlled easier
I adore your videos!! You are such a kind man!!!
The look on your face with her first flight, so glad you got to capture it :) She's beautiful
This man. He deserves more recognition.
The fact that this channel doesn't have a single hate comment makes me happy
That is amazing. I expected the usual pigeon haters to have something to say but it see,s they are happily silent for once.
Of course I love you

You're really such a kind person, I really love your Albert and other rescued animals & birds....keep it up
She’s so precious and sweet.
Don’t you just want to squeeze her.
I nearly bit my finger off with cute aggression when I could see her tiny beak opening when she was still in the egg.
Lovely to see her flourish and thrive.
The way he set alarms for each hour.. it's just absolutely amazing dedication. Thank you for posting this video!
