These videos are randomly cropped out of longer movies… would be nice if you included a caption saying where the video is filmed. Like… what continent am I even looking at?
Beautiful birds.
Can you just imagine what they're thinking once airborne?! 😄
😍…❤…👏…
Gorgeous beautiful animals how could anyone hurt any animals protecting Mother Nature and her animals and planet
All praise is for the creator who created such beautiful and intelligent creatures

I watch with the sound off so I can enjoy watching because that's how it should be when we watch something like this. It is more peaceful and fascinating to me
I can almost understand the narrator.
Very Happy for the babies

It’s hedwing
New subs here..the video and the narration absolutely amazes me..and more than that it touched my soul and spirit as I got a lesson not to be discouraged on the failure we could possibly experience as we try to venture or do some new things in life for God's glory and honor ❤🎉😇🙏🙌🤗
Exhilarating!
They look so cute. Wild nature looks so interesting.
THE SECRET IS TO NEVER GIVE UP ON ANYTHING. KEEP FLYING HIGH. JESUS NEVER GAVE UP ON US NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES WE FAILED AMEN. WE FLY HIGH WITH EAGLES AND KEEP LOOKING UP.
My dream in my next life… to fly, TY beautiful!!!! ❤
Nothing straightens a baby’s wing after a crash landing than a wolf coming to the rescue…inhaling the scent of a possible snack!🤓
