WATCH: This Unique Dad Bird Helps To Hatch Eggs and Raise Young Chicks

In a very up close and personal video, viewers can see a male kingfisher bird caring for newborn chicks by keeping them warm and fed.

Wildlife photographer Robert Fuller captured the video of the kingfisher doing what it knows how to do best, catch fish. The bird brings the food into the nest and cares for the young, which is common for this type of bird. 

In a second post, Fuller says the mother bird is away incubating a second set of eggs. Kingfishers generally mate for life, and the male bird will not only care for the young and teach them how to survive but will also take turns incubating eggs and keeping newborns warm. 

While this may sound surprising to hear in the world of wildlife, about 90% of birds share in caring for their offspring.
