00:00You don't have no wings yet. What are you doing?
00:03It looks like these two sisters are locked into a very serious gaming session.
00:08Okay, let her try. Good job, Rumi.
00:13And Rumi is not just sitting there watching Ellie play. Just look at how invested she is.
00:20They'll play video games together and Rumi will be on the tablet pressing buttons.
00:24When this family first helped a tiny baby bird, they had no idea how much of a big part of
00:30her family she was about to become.
00:32She was probably a day or two old, so she must have fallen out of the nest.
00:36And we looked and looked. We could tell that she wasn't going to make it if we hadn't stepped in.
00:45In this instance, we knew that she wouldn't survive without our help.
00:49Where's the baby?
00:52Hi.
00:53Playing Jurassic Park with a real pterodactyl.
00:57Pterodactyl.
01:01Rumi may be tiny, but she has made herself a very big part of this family.
01:05Every time we take her outside, her doesn't fly away.
01:10Rumi, come here.
01:11Are you scared?
01:13We're a part of her flock.
01:14Her left side of her face is half the size of her right side, and she's missing a claw on
01:19her right foot.
01:21But I don't know if she'll make it out there by herself.
01:24She's enjoying her time with us so far.
01:28Rumi is completely obsessed with dad.
01:33Giving me lovin's?
01:35So nice.
01:36Oh, nice.
01:37Personal space is not really a big thing with these two.
01:41Oh, she does eat food.
01:45Look at that.
01:47She'll perch on him, follow him around, and seems to be happiest when she just gets to be close.
01:53She just wants to be in the middle of everything.
01:56Oh, sushi.
01:58Perfect.
01:59She loves Ellie's hair.
02:01But then you see Rumi and Ellie.
02:04This is very much sister time.
02:07Did Ellie make you a house?
02:09Hmm?
02:10Was it nice?
02:11Rumi always seems to make herself a part of whatever Ellie is doing.
02:17She sleeps on the top of the headboard of our bed because she has to be close.
02:21What began as a rescue became something so much bigger.
02:25Rumi did not just recover here.
02:27She found her people.
02:29We're just a happy family.
02:32Good night, pumpkin.
02:34I love you.
