Not just taking care of a rock now.

Favourite genre of feel-good stories:

Bird tries to incubate a rock and then the keepers replace the rock with an actual egg/hatchling and the bird raises the baby like their own 😭

I've been keeping up with Murphy and his eaglet since it's such a sweet story, and I realized some of y'all might not have the most up to date scoop!

Murphy and Eaglet 23-126 have had their barriers removed! Murphy has been doing great as a dad for his new chick. When given his own fish and some extra bits for the chick, Murphy still tore prices of his own up to give to it. 🥺 On the other hand, he didn't protect it from the weather when a storm blew in. Oops! Still, he has a good track record for a first timer.

Check out CBS News' video here, The New York Times' article here, and Smithsonian Magazine's article here. Also don't be shy to adopt Murphy and donate to his and his eaglet's care here!

Murphy, a rescued bald eagle who is known for fiercely protecting a rock he considers his egg, will be getting the opportunity to become a father to an orphaned chick ❤️

Im not saying (redeemed) Vlad does this … I’m just saying it would be hilarious 😆😆😆

Especially if team phantom (probably Jazz in a bout of unethical Psycology) is the one to switch the rock (fake core maybe?) with an actual kid/baby!!! XD

The team watching Vlad mature as a person and treat the kid like his own and finally calming the fuck down now that his obsession isn’t yelling at him 24/7.

Sam: I’m gonna tell him

Jazz: don’t you dare

TELL US ABOUT THE BIRD OF THE WEEK PLEASE

i had so many weird birds i wanted to talk about today (there are birds that fully look like small dragons and birds who can make their WINGS whistle as part of their mating rituals and some birds who are just. so smelly that they're literally called stinkbirds BUT THIS IS BECAUSE they don't have stomachs, they have a Food Storage Pouches where their food sits and ferments and takes like 50 hours to digest. god nature is amazing) but... story parallels

so today i am talking about kestrels. or 1 kestrel singular because i actually don't know anything about kestrels (sorry) other than what i learned in this kestrel video that changed my life that everyone else should also watch if you haven't already and I'm going to talk about that video

(kestrels are either the smallest or one of the smallest in the falcon family. they're just small carnivorous guys. imagine a small falcon with cool spots)

so there's this story about this kestrel family that went viral a year. Or multiple years idk ago and it was about a kestrel nest with a mother and father!! until one day mysteriously the mother disappeared and the father was left to raise his chicks alone.

a kestrel dad's job is just to hunt stuff and take it back to the nest and then let the mum tear it up into small enough pieces to feed the chicks, and often what happens if the mum ditches the nest the chicks just. get surrounded by food too big for them to eat and they starve 💔

it looked like things were going to go the same way in this story too. mr kes kept calling for his mate who never answered and the poor chicks (only like a few days old or something) got nothing to eat. the guy documenting this had to step in and help so they wouldn't die but then at some point mr kes got into the nest and sat on his chicks

male kestrels Do not brood their chicks after they've been hatched so this is huge and was so amazing to see??!!!!!!! he did eventually give up i'm pretty sure but uh. HEY. HE TRIED. and after a couple more days or something he finally learned that he needs to Tear the food up into small enough pieces first. and so he raised them (with help from the guy documenting but hey) until the chicks were old enough to leave the nest ))): Mr Kes you're my bird of the week. My bird of the month and of the century

Whenever i hear stories of birds that step up as fathers that gets me. there was this bald eagle named murphy who lived in a bird sanctuary and created a nest for a rock and incubated it 💔💔💔 AND THEY GAVE HIM HIS OWN EAGLET. MURPHY HAD A FOSTER SON (they have since released his son back into the wild which does hurt me a little bit but it's for the best & i'm sure murphy will have more children in the future)

i love birds so mjch

this my absolute favorite manifestation story!!! this is Murphy (to the right) an absolute manifestation king!!! A bald eagle who found a lifeless rock and insisted that it was his egg. He affirmed and persisted the 3D whenever anyone would try to take the rock from him by screeching and protecting his “offspring”.

he did not care what the 3D was cause he knew that that rock was his baby. he was so dedicated to his manifestation that he had to be moved to a different enclosure due to his overly protective behavior toward this rock.

but what do you know? soon one day news came from Ste. Genevieve, Missouri: A young eaglet had fallen from its nest during a storm and needed somewhere to stay. the sanctuary where Murphy was residing realized that this could be Murphy’s chance to actually be a father!

to see if Murphy could safely act as a surrogate, a few days after the eaglet’s arrival, keepers began a bonding process between the two birds. They removed the “rock baby” and put the eaglet, protected by a cage, into the enclosure with Murphy.

soon, Murphy began to respond to the eaglet’s peeps. A week after their introduction, the cage was removed so the two could interact more closely. When they were given food, a whole fish for Murphy and bite-sized pieces for his young charge, rather than each eating their separate dish, Murphy took his portion and ripped it up to feed to the baby.

The sanctuary hopes to release the eaglet back into the wild this summer. Griffard tells the Post that Murphy will know when the time is right. Until then, Murphy will get the chance to experience parenthood in earnest.

“He was sitting on a rock and everybody told him, ‘It’s a rock, it’s not going to hatch,’” Griffard tells the Post. “And all of a sudden, in his mind, it hatched and he has a chick.”

so there you go! the mind is responsible for creating your reality and we all have the ability to create our desired reality even animals can manifest their dreams!

The Ingo Eagle strikes again.

Ingo can and will adopt any child as his paternal instinct is too high.
