This young couple had an entire date night planned when they heard little chirps in the corner of a sidewalk — watch as they bring the baby bird along with them to the restaurant, taxi and their airbnb. We talked to Ludvig and Mathilda about what has it been like taking care of a wild baby bird while they were on vacation until he was ready to finally leave the nest!

00:00We were going on a date. We had a whole date night planned.
00:05We were walking in Sanrio, Rio, and all of a sudden we heard some chirping.
00:10There was a nest that had fallen to the ground, so we knew that something tragic just happened.
00:16We were like, we need to do something.
00:19I tried to put it on the grass, on the tree, but it always flew back to my shoulder.
00:23And we were like, okay, we have just become parents.
00:31We had booked a dinner place, so we brought this baby bird into a five-star restaurant.
00:37And people were looking at us, but they didn't throw us out. They were like, does he want any food?
00:42He can get some mango.
00:45It felt like we had a real strong connection.
00:52We were looking at some sanctuaries nearby, but it was two hours away.
00:56So we thought, okay, let's see what happens. If something happens, then we will go.
01:01Oh.
01:11We were walking on the beach, drinking coconut. He was like a new best friend.
01:18It was three weeks that we took care of Bambi, but it felt very short.
01:22And when I look back, we had a bird for three weeks. That's crazy.
01:26And he was a part of our family.
01:30I know that I couldn't bring him home to Sweden, so I decided to extend my visa in Brazil.
01:42But one day Bambi just flew away.
01:48We came to the realization that he was ready to be more independent.
01:53It was a sad, but also a happy ending.
02:00Thank you for watching!
