He’s snapped candid moments with elephants, rhinos, deer, jackals and monkeys, but his true passion is for the colorful birds who nest around his city. 

 Last August, he captured a moment that left him stunned. rahulsinghclicks
“I visited a place where there were bushes of these ornamental bananas to take photos of sunbirds sucking nectar from it,” said Singh. “Everything was going as usual when, suddenly, I was shocked that the crimson sunbird started taking a bath in the water stored in the banana flower petal.” 

 Early-morning drizzle had collected in the bowl-like red petal of the banana flower, and the 4-inch-long songbird wasn’t going to let it go to waste on a hot day. rahulsinghclicks
After she’d had her fill of nectar, the crimson sunbird began to use the petal as a bathtub. In all his years of bird watching, Singh had never seen anything like it before. 

“I was literally stunned to see this unusual behavior,” Singh said. “I kept my camera’s shutter button pressed as the bird took her bath.” rahulsinghclicks
Singh was so happy to be at the right place at the right time to capture the fairytale-like moment. Later, he shared the images on Instagram, where thousands of people were touched by them. 

  “This was really a once-in-a-lifetime moment,” Singh said. “It’s amazing how nature can surprise us.”

  “So I took her home because us pregnant girls gotta stick together,” the new mom shared on TikTok. Not only would the young woman and the stray mama cat become mothers together, they would end up raising babies who became best friends. Now Tiktok user mama.maners has decided to share their heartwarming story. 

  “When I was 9 months pregnant, I stumbled across a stray cat,” the young woman begins, captioning a clip of the very pregnant mother-to-be holding a white cat with a belly bump. 

“Upon further inspection, I saw that she was also very pregnant,” she wrote. This discovery led mama.maners to bring the pregnant stray cat home, where she could deliver her kittens in safety and peace. 

When the time came, mama.maners and the mama cat welcomed their babies into the world together. “And we ended up having our babies at the same time!” mama.maners wrote over pictures of herself and the cat cuddling with their respective offspring. 

 Now the kitten and baby boy have grown up to become very close, which makes sense considering they’re the same age and share the same home and family. 

  “And our babies became the best of friends!” this proud mama gushed over an adorable picture of her newborn son and the cute baby kitten together. 

What a sweet story. Thanks for giving this mama cat and her kitten a second chance!

Well, at least most of the time. I say this because there are also times when kids, especially toddlers, will pout, stamp their feet, and scream like the end of the world is coming and there is nowhere to hide As a parent, it’s hard to know what to do when this kind of things happen so that you can put an end to the tantrum as soon as possible. 

As it turns out, it’s not only human parents who have to deal with this problem, but animals as well. Just look at the mom elephant in the video below. 

When her baby throws a temper tantrum in the middle of the road, she quickly jumps into action and does what moms do best: she handles the situation! “We waited but after a few minutes of roadside grazing the females and other elephants moved into the roadside bush,” Antonio da Cruz, that witnessed the whole scene, explained. 

“This little guy had been standing in the middle of the road and was determined to stay put. After flaying his legs, head and tail a few times he looked over at his mom and she then called his bluff by moving further away into the bush. He quickly got up, gave us a stare and then chased after her.” The mother elephant doesn’t seem to be too concerned and knows that tantrum will pass a lot sooner if she just keeps her cool. This is a whole new level of cuteness! If this lovely footage wouldn’t bright your day, I’m not sure what ever will! 

 Watch the hilarious scene, bellow:
