Bald Eagle Snatched a Baby Hawk to Eat But Ended Up Adopting It InsteadIn a movie-like twist of fate, a predator falls in love with its prey and adopts it into the family instead.This is what happened in the wilderness of Nanaimo, BC. A pair of bald eagles had earlier snatched a baby red hawk to devour. However, instead of eating the little birdie, they ended up taking care of it alongside their own eaglet.The rare and heartwarming scene unfolds during a livestream of the eagle family’s nest. The mama eagle is seen dropping the poor little red hawk onto their nest. Remarkably, neither the adult eagles nor their eaglet attack the chick, they just leave it alone. However, by nightfall the mama eagle’s warmed up to the chick. She can be seen feeding and fussing over the two baby birds equally. They may not be of the same feather, but they become a flock anyway!#BaldEagle #RedHawk #eaglet #hawk #eagle #nestVideo clip: GROWLS/YouTube

Fledgling: How Hannah Bourne-Taylor Let a Baby Finch Nest in Her Hair for 3 MonthsConnections can be found anywhere, with the most unlikely counterpart. To Hannah Bourne-Taylor, it was with a baby bronze-winged mannikin finch.Hannah and her husband had just relocated to Ghana. He was allowed to work, but her visa wouldn’t permit the same so she began feeling isolated. As a professional horse photographer, Hannah was used to being active and outdoors. To alleviate her homesickness, she turned to her new neighborhood which happened to be surrounded by grasslands. After one particular thunderstorm, she found the baby bird on the ground. The finch was abandoned by his flock, his nest blown from the mango tree.For the next 84 days, Hannah took the finch under her wings. The bird even started making a little nest in her hair. He’d tuck himself under a curtain of hair and gather individual strands with his beak, sculpting them into a round of woven locks, resembling a small nest, then settling inside.Eventually, the bird’s flock came back and the once vulnerable little birdie was strong enough to rejoin his flock. Hannah admitted that she still missed him from time to time, but was grateful for the company while he was there.#bird #nest #hair
