The Smallest Bird you have ever seen

By accident I got hold of two of the smallest eggs I have ever seen.
Should I incubate them?
Would I be able to raise a baby bird that would hatch from it?

The little bird is called a Wren. In my country it is the second smallest bird species there is. It hatched so fast that I missed it. The feeding was hard with my big human hands and very time-consuming. It took me about 80 feeding rounds per day to keep him healthy.
But in the end it worked.

Thanks for watching

The incubator I used is a MS incubator:

For filming I used a canon EOSD7 and an I-phone 5s

    Can't imagine feeding something every ten minutes, then caring for it days and weeks more. Then simply opening your hand to let it go. That's a rare individual indeed. Tip of the hat to you, sir

    Dang me I love this channel. When I was a youngster I would gather baby birds from an old oak tree in our cul de sac that were lucky enough to fall onto a lawn instead of the hard roadway. I raised them with paper clip-tweezers and a bread and milk mixture until they fledged. Dad took super 8's of me walking outside as a dozen birds would fly from the trees and land on me! Still love them, watch them no matter where I am and have been involved in cleaning up oiled birds for years. Love this channel, looking forward to more adventures!

    A very rare species - not the bird but the man
  • That was an awesome act of compassion to devote that kind of time into saving a egg.
  • @strawbunni6834
    "Hey you wanna go out?" "Nah I got my new bird son to feed every ten minutes." This is the sweetest thing ever
  • This type of videos deserve all the likes in the world. God bless you. Thank you for such passion and dedication on our fellow friends.

    BE FREE! You were raised by the most kind-hearted man. You have no idea how luck you are little Cheep-cheep.
  • @JusticeAlways
    Human intervention..love it. Gives an idea of how much work a mother bird goes thru taking care of her chicks! The music was a nice touch too.👍
  • @ahodgman
    One thing that helps with teenies like this: feed with a very fine paintbrush that you dip into the food. Easier than fingers and possibly safer for the bird. Great work!

    I can imagine this man being cornered in an alley by thugs and a bunch of birds swoop in and pick him up and fly him away and they’re like “hey man you saved my grandpa way back in 2017, I owed you this one”
  • @Jejdjejbfjf
    This guy is so kind hearted he says sorry to mosquitoes. Bless him.
  • @jimdavis8391
    These chicks are true miracles and you are a patient man indeed!
  • I had the honor of watching a momma hummingbird hatch two little eggs . They were so precious. God bless you for what you do
