#HopeForPaws received calls, day-after-day as these babies were thrown out of their nest. Loreta and I headed out to rescue them one by one.
Our #wildlife partners at #PacificWildlifeProject took care of the birds, and in a twist of events, the release of a few birds turned out to be extremely dangerous!!! I was really worried I am about to film a deadly situation.
Working with wildlife is hard, time-consuming, and at times sad because as resilient as these animals are, they are also very fragile once they get hurt.
If you can, please join us today with a $5 recurring donation so we can continue saving many more lives: https://www.HopeForPaws.org
Thank you so much!!!

Good job
These people are doing awesome work. The weird part to watch is seeing all the homeless people. Wish someone would care and rehab them like they do animals.

Here these guys saving animals and there those who are doing experiments with animals😶
Amazing rescues of these precious wild creatures and where you released those birds was so much nicer for them than the pond between the roads. You lot are the best xxxxx
Thank you for your help and support you change the world life by life, video by video, viewer by viewer!
LOve your videos and the work you do saving beasties but … seriously? Damn MASKS on a sunny day – outside?? If masks worked the virus never would have made it out of Wuhan. Think about it. Geeez.
Nice work people.
Was the original nest ever located?
These were Black Crested Night Herons. Beautiful.
Odd that at least 1 of the parents was not around.
Thank you for all you do.
Having had the pleasure of watching a nesting pair of Blue Herons over 5 years, when the babies were this young there was always 1 adult still either in the nest or when the size of the babies made it too crowded there was always 1 parent on a branch nearby. The other was out fishing for a meal.
This particular pair built a nest on a thin tree limb over a lake like the one you climbed on but the nest was a really nice size and consisted of small logs as a base. It was incredible that they even got the those logs up there.
Even when they were building the nest, it seemed as though the female would stay in the nest and the male would go off looking for food and/or nesting material. It was incredible to see the process because the male was so particular about the plant/reed he brought back to the female who would take it and create the bedding of the nest. That nest was so sturdy, it lasted 5 years until a really strong blizzard finally took it.
Every year 3 or 4 fledglings and it was like watching pterodactyls developing. They were celebrities because we had such good views of the nest and we never had herons nesting in our park before.
First just thrilled to see their heads pop up. Then seeing them stand and watching them get fed. 1 adult always with them while the other fished.
Then as they grew and filled the nest 1 adult would always be on a branch nearby. Also got to see some sibling rivalry take place as they would go at each other I guess to establish leadership.
The fledglings (?) would then stand and work on their wing muscles – opening and closing repeatedly. Then as they grew taller and stronger they would take their first hops using their wings to get to a nearby branch. This would continue as their ability to fly from branch to branch increased. And on one occasion I got to witness the first one out of the nest fly across the narrow section of the lake. When he made it to the other side he was screeching at the top of his lungs and I didn't know if it was because of his excitement or if he was calling to his siblings to follow.
Eventually you would see the young ones with a parent actually being taught how to fish or at least being shown where the good fishing areas were.
Just incredible to watch. And then they were gone with the migration.
Next year, the parents were back and renovating the nest and we got to see the new crop.
Why can’t fishermen be more responsible.
Thank you for saving them. I wonder if something happened to the mother and they were alone in the nest with no food so they jumped out.
I would take 50 Possums before one Raccoon in my yard.. Love them! ❤
My friend was sitting on the bathroom throne and watched one grab a $600 Koi from her pond and have an expensive meal before she could run out
My ex and I went to a lake in southern Indiana to camp and canoe. All along the shoreline of the lake we were at were old lines with hooks on them toed to trees. Many were old and rusted, many were hanging above the water. We spent an entire day cutting them down, and saved a baby turtle that got caught up on a bobber. It was really sad to see so much dangerous stuff to animals left so carelessly around.
Wonderful people doing an amazing job!!
Fabulous people thank you
Maybe the alternative store here is let Mother Nature run it’s course. That lady who nurses the birds could probably be on hoarders.
I applaud your commitment , courage and love for all creatures great and small. I watch you from India. God Bless you and all at HFP.
hahaha, so funny, Groundhog Day or what?! They are beautiful, aren't they. Thank you guys for all you do.
