Recently, two children were on their way home from school, walking the streets
of Gisborne, New Zealand, when they noticed a strange white blob nestled in the
brush lining the road.

Stepping closer to get a better look, the kids realized the mass of feathers was
a beautiful white bird — a sulphur-crested cockatoo — who appeared to be
injured.



The kids quickly rushed home and told their mom what they saw. The family then
contacted Wildlife Rescue and Rehab, and soon they were leading rescuers back to
the area where the bird was located.

Arriving at the scene, Wildlife Rescue and Rehab president Maria Jane was
heartbroken to see the beautiful bird in such a difficult situation.

“[The cockatoo] didn’t have enough strength to fly off, so it just sat there
looking up at me,” Jane told The Dodo.



Usually, wild birds like this one would be a bit feisty and untrustworthy of
human intervention. However, this bird was lethargic and didn’t struggle when
Jane approached, further proving that something was wrong.



Carefully, Jane placed a towel over the bird’s head and then put him in a rescue
basket. She took the little guy home for the night, then to a veterinarian the
next morning. The vet noticed that the bird was malnourished and weak but
otherwise in pretty good shape.















For now, the bird is living with Jane, who’s committed to caring for him until
he’s strong enough to return to his home outdoors.

“[The cockatoo] will hopefully make a full recovery and be able to be released
back into the wild,” Jane said.



Safe with Jane, this cockatoo is putting his energy into recovery, surely
feeling grateful that the two children spotted him that day.

The "Bang Bang" singer said she's "in love" after welcoming her first child in
May



Jessie J is smitten with her baby son, even if her birth plan didn't go as she
had expected.

The “Price Tag” singer, 35, who announced the arrival of her son in May,
revealed the first photo of her baby boy on Instagram Story Thursday.

Sharing an adorable close-up snap of the child’s tiny fingers, clasped around
the singer's own thumb, she added a simple caption across the image: "In love.” 

The sweet photo showed the newborn wearing a white outfit and surrounded by
white and gray blankets.

Her post came as Jessie J revealed the story of her son's birth in an Instagram
Reel with footage taken of her hours before birth, dancing and twerking
playfully around a hospital room while sporting a hospital gown.

“I spent 9 months prepping for a natural birth,” the singer wrote in the
caption, adding details of the strict food and exercise regimen she followed
during her pregnancy in hopes to deliver in “a pool birth ideally with no
medication.” 



Sadly, her son had other plans. “I had a scan at a few days off of 40 weeks and
he was completely the wrong way around and stuck as he was a little chunkier
than your average and long," she wrote. "I did everything to try and turn him
for 2 months but he said 'Nah mum I wanna make an entrance out the roof, not the
front door.' "

Despite her hope for a natural birth, the singer ultimately took an alternative
route in order to bring her baby boy into the world safely.

“I was advised to have a planned c-section for the safest birth. This video was
taken 5 minutes before I went down to surgery. I went into active labour the
night before and feeling all the feels but mostly just excitement for us to meet
our baby boy,” she continued. 




“I guess I’m sharing this because so many people have said, 'Do you feel like
you missed out on the birth you wanted?' I had a birth and it was everything I
wanted because I got him at the end of it, that’s all that matters.” 




On Friday, the singer shared more thoughts about her cesarean section in an
Instagram Story and made it clear she has no time for haters.



"I don't think I realized the impact my post would have on so many women who
have felt ashamed or guilt from having a c-section," Jessie J wrote. "Planned or
emergency. If no one has told you I will. It is by no means the easy way out. It
is a birth. Politely f--- anyone who makes you feel anything different."

The singer continued, "You had a BELLY BIRTH. Whether it was a choice or not you
did or had to do what was right for your baby and for you to be healthy and
arrive safely. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. Hugging you all. We did it. We DID IT!!!"

Jessie J also thanked her fans for their support and revealed she'll be quick to
block people that don't "get it."

"THANK YOU for the love and support you have shown me through out this whole
process... Having a child has shifted my perspective and energy completely," she
wrote. "I actively choose to only focus on the people who get it and support me.
Everything else is background noise."



"I embrace my new life my new body my new world with no apologies," Jessie J
continued. "I will be on the beach with my body on show, I've missed too many
moments in life caring about what people will say or think. I will be parenting
my way and owning it. I love it here. Not missing out on any joy because of some
opinionated hater. Block button is now a love language to myself if your vibes
feel off *YAWN*"

Jessie J first announced that her son had been born in an emotional post on
Instagram on May 19.

"A week ago my whole life changed," the singer wrote over a black background in
the May 19 post. "My son entered this world and my heart grew twice the size.
The feeling is indescribable. I am flying in love."

"He is magic," she added. "He is all my dreams come true. He is my whole 🌍 He
and I are both doing great ☁️ I am soaking up every second and still can't
believe he is real, mine and here *happy tears* For all of you that have
followed my journey to this moment, thank you for all your continued love and
support."

"I will be back on Instagram when I'm ready," she concluded.

The “Bang Bang” singer has been candid about her journey to motherhood after
experiencing a miscarriage in November 2021.

First revealing her pregnancy in January with an Instagram Reel that showed a
positive pregnancy test with her song "Sunflower" playing as the soundtrack, the
post was captioned, "I am so happy and terrified to finally share this." 

In the final weeks before his birth, the heavily pregnant mom-to-be shared
another Instagram Reel showing her baby kicking and captioned it, "Please be
looking for the exit."
