00:00I saw that baby coming out of the forest, but I didn't see a mother.

00:09I attached a bottle of milk on a bird feeder.

00:13She went for it almost right away, and I couldn't believe it.

00:18But eventually I tried to hold the bottle myself, and she came, and I was like, no way.

00:26I was giving her six bottles a day.

00:32Eventually we got close, we became best friends.

00:37To have a baby deer as a friend, free to go, just help them with their milk and they like

00:44you, it was awesome.

00:46She's wild and she will remain wild.

00:49She would do her things in the daytime, but every morning she would be there.

00:52She really loves to sit there by the passion of the lawn.

01:02Can you handle this one?

01:04Yeah?

01:05Ah!

01:06Good job.

01:07I want her to be a wild, free, happy deer.

01:10I started having walks in the forest with her.

01:13What's on the menu?

01:16Oh.

01:21You don't stop.

01:23I'm with Perry.

01:24Hello, you.

01:27We just saw three deers, and she chased them, but it was too late.

01:32They were gone.

01:33That tells me that even though I don't see them a lot, they meet, and they know each other.

01:39The best scenario was for her to meet with another pack of deer.

01:46And I would hope that they would accept her as one of their young.

01:50Well?

01:52She met the mother with two youngs.

01:55Go on, baby.

01:56Go on.

01:58Go on, baby.

01:59Ah, go on, baby.

02:01I have this on camera.

02:03So, oh my God, how lucky.

02:08This has to be one of the best days of my life.

02:16Perry, where are you, baby?

02:18Why are you there?

02:20I knew you were not far.

02:24Oh.

02:25You are with friends.

02:28Hello.

02:29The mother and the two youngs.

02:32Hello.

02:33The mother and the two youngs.

02:36Perry can't be far, because I see her tracks there.

02:41Perry!

02:45Hello.

02:46Your friends are there.

02:49Well, I really like having Perry here, but also, yes, totally with two females.

03:01Hello, love.

03:02Are you going to join your friends?

03:07I like you, too.

03:10After a while with the snow, they ventured out, and I have not heard of them or seen them for months.

03:19Is it you?

03:21Come on, baby.

03:22I can't believe this.

03:24I can't believe this.

03:28Come here.

03:29Come here.

03:30Come here.

03:33My fairy.

03:34She survived.

03:36It was a very touching moment.

03:37I was very happy.

03:38After all this time, she's back.

03:43Hello.

03:44How are you doing?

03:46That's me.

03:48Hello.

03:49Hello, Prince.

03:50Hello, Victoria.

03:53First time seeing you outside the house.

03:56I thought you'd like to see live who's there.

04:00It's our little fairy.

04:02So we have a trio, Victoria, Prince, and our beloved fairy.

04:09It was a gift from the wildlife to have me experience this with such a beautiful, incredible animal.

04:16She will remain wild, and she decides when she wants to visit me or not.

04:20But with a bit of luck, she will come back with her own offspring next spring.
