- ....and even more importantly, would the little chick accept her real parents? This is certainly one of the most mesmerising moments I've ever witnessed.

What an amazing Momma!!! She refused to stop until the chick followed, she tried and tried until it worked!! So awesome!!🥰🥰💜
So beautiful. I love the way she kept communicating by kept gently clacking her beak. 💖
She was smart too, using food to motivate the chick to come!
@@Suzzers Definitely! Such a smart Momma. I was worried she was going to reject the chick, turned out she wasn't going to let the chick reject her! I'm so happy the plan worked and her chicks were able to come to fruition and finally be a family together.
I do wonder if he ever found out what was stealing her eggs though...
@@alicecain4851 I asked and he replied that one egg disappeared when the card was full and one was rolled over by a juvenile. He’s set the camera again and will report if there’s something interesting ☺️
"I know all the bird nests around my house"
Honestly not surprised, but i still find it amazing how much care you put into every thing you do
Thanks GamerLudwig, well I guess that just happens automatically. I don't think I can pass a nest and NOT look at / in it haha
@@AChickCalledAlbert Who knows maybe it is the same coot you saved? You never know
I've only been close to a nest once. The momma bird said screw the kids whenever I got close which was good for me since I got pics of the eggs and later chicks.
@@AChickCalledAlbert Not related to this video, but I'm doing to know how Kraa is going? Flying well now? 🤩
@@AChickCalledAlbert i love this i learn something
I love how the mom’s like, “Uhh…honey? I’m yo mama. Follow me- follow me….? WHY AREN’T YOU FOLLOWING ME?” she looked so puzzled
Its honestly amazing to see her desperately trying to make the chick follow her. She just kept trying and trying and didn't leave the chick after 3 tries.
Is my baby defective or something? - is what I was thinking she was thinking LOL
I feel like at this point, all birds know you, and whenever they see you near their eggs, they're not as alarmed as they would normally be.
gossip spreads amongst birds!
When i was a child about 8yrs, i spent summers with my grandparents at the cottage, a retired birdwatcher installed several birdboxes nearby & i followed him around every wk as he checked the boxes for nests, # of Eggs & # of chicks . As yrs went by he needed help to check his boxes & i gladly stepped up! His last summer before he died he was no longer able to check his beloved birds, so i carried the ladder & his diary & reported my findings to him every wk. Thank you Mr. Pritchard, you turned me into a birdwatcher.
Beautiful story, and a fitting tribute to Mr. Pritchard.🖤🇨🇦
That's a lovely story and how people like this lovely individual are formed.
By the love for nature shown to you by others.
Splendid!❤
I'm sure Mr.Pritchard is very proud of you :')
@@woffydoggy686 He was thank you! He wrote about me in his birdwatching magazine, lol. Just yesterday, at the same cottage, a tiny finch hit the window hard, I picked it up & 1 wing seemed injured. Brought it in & gave it some sugar water & in a dark place overnight & released it this morning! Thankfully a little recovery time was all it needed, which was great as my cat was quite curious.
Oh man, I was rooting on that little baby and I kept saying to the screen “follow your mom…wait, where are you going…she’s right there” then mom gave the baby some food, “VICTORY” I shouted and I may or may not have shed a tear lol
Why so many likes but no comments?

Nice
Very nice(bangladesh)
Gosh... how wise is nature, that dad knew the trick with fake eggs and that this mom knew the solution with her chick. So simple and elegant. So touching! 🙏
Nature is truly wonderful.
How did he know it was a trick? It seems like he legitimately thought it was his own eggs.
@@theangrysuchomimus5163 I believe they were referring to the owner of the channel, he is "dad" lol he is the dad to all his animals!
@@epiclexi1234 and he is an actual dad as he has daughters I believe.
Subhan Allah. All praises belong to God alone.
Awww!! You gave that mommy a chance at having a real family. Not just one egg, but 2! She was a natural and so eager to have her baby follow her back to the nest. Just so beautiful. Thank you for everything you do to help the animal community to keep growing up in a healthy and loving environment. It’s really something to see an egg hatch. Beautiful is an understatement! 🥰❤️🫶🏼🐦
Wow! They’re beautiful babies. So glad the world has you in it!
Yo 🔥ua-cam.com/video/cfRZBPgLmt4/v-deo.html,
They are cute! And look a lot like German actor Uwe Ochsenknecht :D
Why mess with nature? I don't get the point of you even doing this.... just to make money from UA-cam obviously 🤦♂️
The eggs kept disappearing because you were taking them haha
Even if an animal had been taking the eggs, so what? That's nature!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate him...he is really a rare gem and we need to be more like him

Oh my goodness those babies are beautiful! I’ve only ever seen adult coots here so had no idea about the facial colouring when they’re babies. Ty for helping all the animals that need it .❤️
The coot mom is very smart to get the chick to follow her with food. Very nice of you to make it possible for the coots to have chicks even though their nest got raided over and over again!
The tiny little foot webbing is adorable! Coots have a reputation for not being the best bird parents, but like all animals it really depends on the individual
In my experience, coots are great parents. Fierce defenders of territory too. This summer, a pair of coots raised 3 nests without losing their chicks. 10 in total. I've watched out for them, all summer, a few meters from my garden. These newborn chicks are adorable with their funny red heads. The parents worked hard all summer, to feed them. Without competition.
Love how food was the motivator to win her trust. Hilarious. 😂
Works for me... 😆
Food is always the motivator.
Coots have the most unique personality. They display alot of emotion towards others. Congrats on getting them to accept each other
I have been watching you and your menagerie for ages. I was homebound with illness and injury for so long and the thrill and joy at the wonder of life you demonstrate and share is real medicine. I wish I could give more financial support, still you and your flock are forever in my prayers. And I always share your videos with friends and family, who also greatly enjoy. Thank you for all your hard work not only with the animals, but also in sharing these videos. You make the world a better place. Blessings!
He's making money from UA-cam videos by stealing bird eggs ffs
@@imastaycool they still get a mother tho
@@imastaycool I'm sure with your 7 subscribers that you're making good money as well!
Also, stealing? He raises them with more love and care than some families give to their human children, not to mention the fact that he tries to do what he did in this video, which is reunite the eggs with their parents before they imprint.
Even then he still tries his best to reunite the chick and the mother.
Quit coping.
"your not my mom"

"OH FOOD"
Hahaha... indeed
Food? 👀
How to kidnap me
I adore their moment of realization, and all that effort Mama put into bringing baby back to the nest was precious. Smart birdies
I was moved by this story ... you have achieved a great feat in bringing this family together Many thanks from Switzerland!
This is incredible!
No one else would put so much effort to give wild bird a chance to have some baby chicks!
And then mom bird put so much effort to “adopt” her baby so she can be a part of a family 😭❤️
Also chicks are so colourful but adults have this cool black and white color scheme. What an interesting transformation!
The narration combined with the clip was beautiful, as if a movie. Love it! Fan from Taiwan💕

He stole their kids and the parents almost abandod her, what a good person!
@@urugly8005 The eggs were being eaten by an unknown predator. He saved these chicks
@@jonathanmckenna1514 easily said, so i could kidnap u cuz u could get killed by someone?
I love how much you do to help every bird you can. You are an amazing person. Glad the mom was able to convince the baby to follow her, food wins again. May God bless you for caring for His birds.
That was so beautiful, thank you so much for all you do to help these precious animals survive.
When the first chick hatched in the incubator I was certain he would have to raise it, so the fact that he was able to successfully reunite it with the parents was indeed mesmerizing.
lets just appreciate this man for everything he does! get him to 3M, bless him.

Watching that was wonderful!! The mother wasn’t going to give up and once she fed it, it followed her just like it should. How beautiful to see this. Your videos always bring tears of joy to me. God has given us such wonderful and beautiful animals, plants and trees. We all are so blessed and loved.
❤️💜💚
It was wonderful to see the bond that formed between the parent coots and the little chick that hatched in your incubator. I'm always looking forward to your new videos and seeing what you do to take care of the birds around you.
Thanks to your inspiration, I recently picked up a stranded blind baby chick and was able to find the perfect rescuer, a young lady with a small farm of “misfits”. Saving an otherwise doomed chick was the right thing to do, as you have taught us with your precious soul. Another Albert in the making. God bless.
Another beautiful film...giving the mother 2 chicks that it seemed she would never have because of your attention and intervention...as a Mother myself...thank you on behalf of the mother bird💗💗
Thanks for helping these beautiful birds
I am always astounded by how much precious chick fits inside an egg!
It’s so beautiful to see how these animals are connecting with each other
I need to thank you from the bottom of my heart 💜 for protecting all life and for giving me a window into the hatching of a bird I love the Coot with their loved feet. What a beautiful chick! I’ve been so sick and miss being able to go on birding walks to see my precious friends. Birds are life and part of my soul.
Dear Christine,
how nicely put "giving me a window into"
Thank you for your words... they are inspiring to me
I'm sorry to hear that you are so sick that you can't go on walks to be seeing your bird friends
I hope you get better
Love, Alwyn
Watching these videos brings healing to the soul. Thank you for sharing
A wonderus miracle to save the chicks….thankyou for being so dedicated.
we dont need more people like you we need to be more like you
If i had a quarter for everytime i saw someone make this comment on this channel, i could afford to make the eorld a vetter place single handedly. Saying this sorta thing does nothing but make you feel a little better inside. Actions soeak louder than words. I couldnt even imagine the good that could be accomplished if more people went out and did something good, something nice for someone, instead of saying 'thats what people should do' in the comments section. Its good you feel that way, thats a start, but thats it. Now get out there and do it.
@@Smokie1523 facts pure facts my dude
@@Smokie1523 accurate i just saw a comment saying we need more people like you

@@Taha632RMF were still here talking instead of being like him... how exactly did i ruin my argument? You wanna make me look wrong? Stop talking to me and gtfo there and do something good..
That coot chick is probably one of my favorite hatchlings.
It was GORGEOUS with a volume of striking colors n details,from its head to its black webbed feet!!
I’m glad Mama Coot refused to give up on this little darling. She figured it out. How wonderful for that little chick to have a real Coot family.
Thank you so much
Mr Wils for sharing your videos.
I know! That was my first thought on seeing it as well. Such amazing colours, and suprising given that the parents don't have that colour.
By the way, that was lobed feet not webbed - it's really cool. But the black colour was just amazing to see on that little chick.
Thank you for your amazing videos! I haven't seen anything this loving and beautiful in a while! I don't know if you realize how much positive energy you are bringing into this crazy world. Wishing you the best❤
You are one in a million. Keep it up with the most fasturating and headache chores . God bless you !
I noticed how the momma kept clacking her beak. Probably the best moment on this channel ever! I love your videos!! I love how you help birds and animals!! BTW, those babies looked so beautiful!! Coots are absolutely beautiful!!
The way you feel about birds, I've always felt about all animals, but didn't think it was possible to make as big of a difference as I wanted. You have restored my hope, that not only are there those of us who want to save every life, but there's also a community that supports and cares for this kind of work. The world isn't so dark and we're all so much more compassionate than we're lead to believe. The more we stand up like this to share our love, the more people will be inspired to do the same. We will create ripples and leave this world better than when we entered it. Thank you for spreading your love 🙏🏻💚🙏🏻
Hi
I love reading your words
"we're all so much more compassionate than we're lead to believe" Indeed

Surely you did a follow up on the chick. I suppose it went well. Would have been nice to see how it went with both chicks later. Love your vids. Thank you.
Again, Thank you so much. Your smile when you take care of them is like the smile of a mum' ♥ I love you.
The coloring on the chicks is so amazing. So bright and beautiful. What a beautiful story to be able to witness, thank you for sharing it with us ♥
I truly have a soft spot for all kinds of birds. I actually saw birds like these the other day in the Töölönlahti Bay in inner Helsinki, Finland, and I wondered what species they were. 🦆🇫🇮
You did an amazing job here in this video, so glad to see that the parents accepted their chicks. You're also quite the artist with those fake eggs! 🥚🖌️🎨

I think this is the first time ever I heard Alwyn's voice and it sounds exactly as kind as I expected.
Loved how mommy bird cared for the chick until it followed
Actually, his name is Alwyn (pronounced Alvain). Albert was the name of his beloved chick 😉
I love Alwyn's voice, too. So gentle and kind. It is always a pleasure to me when he speaks on a video.
@@jeandixon586 Ooo I never knew! Thank you :) Will sneakily edit it 😇
Alwyn sounds exactly like a broody papa bird, and I love to hear him 😁 There's more of him in the "breaking a duck's egg" video.

Thankyou so much mann! You deserve the world!! All the best!
i used to watch you around 2018-2020 im glad i saw you ☺️ im happy that you never give up
So so amazing to see that baby accepting the mom, I had a huge smile on my face. You do such an awesome job to help all these little creatures. God bless you. 😊🇿🇦
Banded coots (that's what we call them here in the US) have always fascinated me. Their feet are amazing works of engineering. I didn't realize until a couple weeks ago how different their chicks looked because I had never seen Bandicoot chicks. Thank you so much for saving these amazing little birds!
Hi... yeah those feet, right?
Have you seen the story of Valentine on the channel? She is a Bandicoot too, I picked her up at the side of the road. Her feet were amazing.
Cheers, Alwyn in the Netherlands
We still call them coots in some regions of the US.
I call them coots. (Southern California). I know bandicoots as Australian marsupials.
@@farticlesofconflatulation Original commenter is confused or something because the common name for Fulica americana is simply the "American Coot"
@@AChickCalledAlbert The feet of Eurasian Coots (Fulica atra) are so much more colorful then the American Coot (Fulica americana), their feet are the same green-yellow color as their legs compared to those blue feet the Eurasian ones have
Watching you with every last one of these creatures is a reminder of how beautiful and fragile life is…. Thank you for these insights 💖
The anticipation was making me so nervous I'm so glad that you love and care for all living things
You are a very considerate person. Thanks for helping out those Coots.
A loving mother never gives up! Thank for your beautiful story on this magical bird. It warmed my heart, truly 💕
Such a smart mommy! I was totally in awe❤❤❤
God bless you for doing this!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love baby coots so much, we have a huge nest behind our house right now, there’s lots of noise from the little critters trying to glue themselves to mom or dad.
Thank you for your hard work, most people wouldn’t care much about coots.
This video is just as beautiful as the rest.It’s extremely great of you to do these things.
Absolutely Magical Solution, Alwyn!! I cried as you painted the eggs...so heart-full of the love and care you extend to all creatures. Beautiful Video full of Magic! Love that you know all the nests on your property! I found a hummingbird nest in one of my trees! (I will send you a photo.) I feed them and change the nectar at 5 AM so it is fresh when they awake for their day's feeding journey. You are inspiring! The chicks are mesmerizing; loved the mother coot's beak clicking...Magical story! Thank you! ⭐️😃🌻
Hello Cynthia 🌹 it's nice meeting you here on UA-cam. Where are you from ?
I’m not one to condone intervening with nature but this here was something special. You really did help not only the mama but the chicks too! You really are a special human. Thankyou for being who you are. ❤ love from Minnesota.
What an amazing man... This video touched directly into my heart! Thank you so much! God bless you my friend! ❤
There's lots of those birds in my hometown in Poland, I love them (they are my favs to watch as well as great crested grebes). They keep spending time together as families even when their chicks are almost adult (most water birds I know are caring parents actually). Observing them chilling and eating water plants is so soothing. They are also extremely comical when they dive for food you give them (we have dispencers with good quality bird food all over town) and just pop back up due to high buoyancy.
Also nice to hear so familiar bird sounds in your vid :D I am very used to their callings.
"I know every birds nest close to my house" What the... i dont know any nearby even if I would love to 😂
Heart-stopping stuff. With a sigh of relief at the end. 🙌🏽
I hav been a sub since few years back, but this is a masterpiece! All the best man! You're the next narrator for Nat Geo ☺️
keep doing this!! they are beautiful and you are so lucky to get them to all go back together!! 🤍
Nope, I am not crying at all. That wet stuff on my face is from the rain in my house.
I got this feeling releasing 7 monarch butterflies I raised last year. This year I have more monarch caterpillars and al are healthy and happy.
Love your heart.
This was a really enjoyable video to watch, it's pretty amazing how a simple thing like this can be so enjoyable.
I wish more people could create wholesome content like this.
Thank you for good viewing, I didn't have to skip any scenes or lower the volume because of cursing, you have an audience that can enjoy and appreciate your content. I hope to see more from you.
Subscribing now. ❣️
Literally the most adorable and beautiful birds I’ve ever seen!! Honestly. 🥰😇 so cute. Congrats! 💕✨
This is so pure and beautiful! I did get a bit scared when the baby didn't follow, but it turned out to be a beautiful ending!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hello Jennifer 🌹 it's nice meeting you here on UA-cam. Where are you from ?

I absolutely love him and everything he has been doing to help these animals. It's so heartwarming. Of I had the funds I would give all I could to help in his projects. This man deserves an award.
So if someone steals ur kid u should be grateful? Oh boy...
Goodness! This guy is terrific. I could understand doing all this for domesticated birds, but he goes above and beyond and does it for wild ones as well. Wonderful!
wait till you see all his other videos.
Birds are amazing. So primitive yet so intelligent all at the same time
Your kindness is exactly what i needed today
I stumbled across this channel a few days ago & have been binge watching like crazy! I truly believe this man's breath & mustache could cure cancer at this point- I've seen it bring back to life so many babies!
A long time ago I saw one of your videos. We had adopted some chickens back then and one of them hatched eggs, one of the eggs was late and inspired by your video I tried hatching the egg myself. I managed to make it work with a toaster/convection oven and my chick grew well (thought I might even see her chicks soon, it had been more than a year since she was born) enjoyed every moment of it. Unfortunately for me she was killed by some dogs a month ago, but the experience remains. Thanks for showing that it can be done, and great work helping animals. Every time my chickens and their chicks need help I now confidently help them, instead of feeling insecure about if I can, and if the natural course of things" knows best".
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your chicken friend. Yes, the experience remains, and yes... the natural course of things does, I believe
Honey, that is beautiful. Nature constantly amazes me with Her resilience and tenacity, and, sometimes, She needs a helping hand. It is wonderful to be able to help, and to see a life lived that would not have without a hand from you.
It is always a hurt to the heart when we lose a friend we have helped, but they keep a little piece of us, even when they are gone.🖤🇨🇦
These birds are kind of funny, they live in shallow water, and with such long legs they're basically walking with a bit of support from floating.
In my area they dont live in shallow water at all and those funny flaps they have on their toes actually let them swim surprisingly fast.
Beautiful beautiful story, thank you for saving these little buddies! Wow they are real small fire birds, i would never think they are the kids of their parents!!!!
Look at their colors when they hatch! I did not expect that! So beautiful! Thanks for sharing and glad all went well! 💜
MAMA SWAM QUICK TO GO GET THAT BABY 😭💛
I just appreciate the love u give and the way u treat these cuties, you inspired me.. Ty man, luv u :]
That was absolutely, edge of your seat, stop breathing moments, tears of joy and heart felt video I've seen. That was incredible. And I absolutely agree. "Wow. What a beautiful little bird "
And what a beautiful, kind, and patient soul you have.
What a beautiful little creature. I love watching your videos, seeing these sweet little birds come into the world… their infantile features always remind me that we are still living amongst little dinosaurs. 🥰 You do such good work. ❤
Nature is truely amazing! And what a lovely family that you helped to complete! It's also so interesting how that fireball babies become that sleek, beautiful black/white bird when it becomes an adult. This is such a wonderful video in so many ways. Thank you!
This was truly beautiful, and the best possible result for that beautiful little family. The chick was exquisite.🖤🇨🇦
