Don't think their mother gets enough credit for how well she has raised these kids especially with out their father. Well done.
I really wish the best for Terri. She's such a sweet soul. I hope she meets another great man someday 🙏 not that she needs it of course but I think she definitely deserves it.
@@gracehaven5459 I Agree She Such A Lovely Beautiful Lady With A Big ♥️
They are both such sweet, strong & Compassionate kids 🥹❤I agree, she’s had to go through such Horrible times 😢& still strong enough to raise these great kids into adults
@@gracehaven5459 I think so too ❤️ but she has lovingly said before that she’s not interested in any other man, she had her love and it was Steve. ❤️🩹
And raising them well as public figures. I haven't heard of any scandals of which they've been a part.
If Steve saw his son today, he would be overwhelmed with pride for him. He's every bit as wonderful as his Dad.
We all know Steve is watching from above. I believe he got to hold his granddaughter before she was born. When I hear Robert's voice, he sounds so much like his dad. The love and expertise Robert has for animals is incredible both him and Bindi. Steve did an excellent job in teaching them about animals when they were babies. Their mom is a superhero for wanting to continue Steve's legacy
-and bindi too-
Miss his dad so much. His personality was one in a million
im still sad hes dead man loved him as a child i wished i got to meet him
@@cindiserrahn6834 both of his kids were literal children…?? He didn’t hold any “grandchild” ….
i can’t IMAGINE how proud their dad must be of the people they’ve become
Happy Birthday Robert.
I"m immensely proud of Bindi and Robert - they are really fine people. Steve would definitely be so proud of them also..
He looks so much like his dad. Terri and Steve were made for each other. I’m sure she is so grateful to have her children. I’m sure Steve sees them and is so proud of them all. They have such love for each other.
Agreed
It's a shame they treated his father like he's not there.
@@user-vy9we1ju6jit's a shame Steve Irwin's dad treated his children so badly. Well according to Bindi her grandfather SteveIrwin's Dad never had anything nice to say to her. According to an article I read on Google. Sometimes love can't be forced upon people. I couldn't be forced to love my uncle on my dad's side of the family who I met when I was just 10 years old. You don't have to like someone because he's family. Sometimes a bond between a grandchild and his or her grandfather or grandmother happens naturally and sometimes it doesn't. I'm not affected in any way cause I'm not related. I really like Terri Irwin and her children. I have nothing bad to say about Steve Irwin's dad. It is what is. Doesn't matter who's right or not. At the end of the day people will take sides like they always do with whatever subject is being discussed.
All I have to say is facts to everything you've just said.
@@user-vy9we1ju6jWhat do you mean
I can’t even imagine being that put together at 19 years old.
I can’t even speak that eloquently at my own family dinner table! I wish I was as comfortable and confident!
I was thinking the same thing lol
A credit to their mum 4 sure
Well, he’s been well set up by his family. He’s an exceptional case. Not every 19 year old gets to have looked after wild animals their entire life.
Not one “like, ya know…”. 🥰👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
She still gets to see Steve everyday through her son. The spitting image of him. That’s awesome
Hopefully, it doesn't get weird
I still can’t believe how much he looks like his dad, it’s crazy
@@Banker88 What? People often look like their parents. Ain’t weird at all.
@@Banker88 He won’t, they are a tight knit family!
And heartbreaking.
The "i just hope hed be proud" broke my heart because he was proud of him the second Steve laid eyes on his son.
Terri needs a lot of credit. She raised two beautiful, incredibly passionate children. On Robert's birthday, one can only see how unbelievably intelligent, well-mannered, sensitive, and articulate he is. I was a high school teacher, and only once had a student like him. I can tell how emotional he really was at seeing that video of his dad, but his excellent manners and upbringing kept him cool and in control. What a treasure to that family, and Terri must be everyday beaming with pride on earth, and Steve beaming down from heaven. Ad multos annos, as they say in Latin, to Terri, Bindi and Robert! From tragedy has come such a happy ending. :)
I also love that she never remarried or had a relationship. Steve was her true love. She took that love and used it to raise their children the way he would of.
lmao you have no idea what their household was like and make superficial judgements based on public appearances alone
@@SeminarioMAE seeing how he wanted his children to be raised around animals and to take care of animals I would say yes she raised them how he wanted since thats what they do. He wanted his family to take care of the zoo and they didnt let him down on doing so.
I think he would want her to 💘 again. Terrific kids!
They turned out the way they did because they were raised in Australia
Steve saying after Robert's birth "This is why I was put here, I could be dead tomorrow" is another reminder that life is so fragile and often taken for granted. Live everyday like it's your last day.
i read this as soon as he said it😭
Bro that shit would have made be bawl my eyes out right there if I was Robert
Facts!! We all at a point take life for granted.
There are alot of video clips that steve almost apears to be leaving messages for his kids its realy weird either he was preparing for the fact that his job is super dangerous or its all coincidental either way when i see em i cry because as a fatger if i die i could only hope my daighter would turn out so amazing
@@Wetsloppytomatoes its more like we all at a point realize weve taken our time for granted
The fact they kept their love for wild life intact even after what happened to Steve is simply commendable.
Even steve didn't blame the ray
Of course they did! That’s their whole purpose in life. It’s not about just us humans. It’s about the beautiful balance of life on earth.
We can’t blame an animal for wanting to defend itself. Steve didn’t mean harm towards it, but it was still spooked. If anything, it made many people more aware of just how dangerous a job Steve had. Anything can go wrong and even experts get hurt.
It's exactly what Steve would want.
@@AFarmerCalledChicken Any animals in the wild are always unpredictable and potentially dangerous. Steve's tragic situation is evident of how this can and does happen. Sad but true. Hikers have come upon 🐻🐻❄bears🐻❄🐻, they mean no harm, but in some tragic cases the bear attacks and kills the person. Wildlife is beautiful but again extremely dangerous when they get spooked as you said. It sucks but it happens.
Man , all these years and I still cry when I hear his voice! Such a nice man!!
Me too. I'm crying 😢 now.. he's got such a beautiful mother..
I wasn't expecting to but damn, ... some tears just came straight of nowhere :')
He was a model human being. He really was.
My daughter gave a speech about Steve Irwin last year for a sophomore speech class. I helped her prep for it. Hadn’t thought much about his death in a while, …but I definitely teared up and couldn’t talk without pain and passion when helping with her project.
Their Mom could have easily turned her back on all this when she lost Steve. Instead she jumped right in even more!! 💜. She is an amazing women and Mom. She has raised her kids just like their Dad wanted. So great!! Beautiful family!! ❤️
I cannot believe he’s only 19. And he’s following his fathers steps so well, we all know he’s more than proud of his family.
I remember watching a live interview of him when he was still a kid. Time surely flies
@@TheyCallMeDio I remember Steve talking about the future of his children, and it turns out he was on point
just watch out for stingrays
His kids need to start leaping on crocs and grabbing snakes by the tip of their tales. So disappointed they aren’t adrenaline junkies like their father. Now it’s just a rehashing of his legacy.
He gay
Rob was only 2 when his dad died. Growing up without a father, in the shadow of a man who was so beloved by most of the World. It's not fair. But humans adapt and overcome. Look at Rob now, following in his father's footsteps. Showing the World how important it is that we stay connected with the other animals among us. Really great video
all of the world. no one could hate a man whos 100% selfless and only goal is to help the world :)
every time i see videos like these it always make me cry cause we all know that steve is looking down insanely proud of robert
They look identical too
It’s such a shame Steve kept doing dangerous acts despite having two young kids. It’s so hard to have sympathy for someone who goes into a wild animal’s home and then is surprised when it defends itself. He should’ve been there more for his kids, they needed him more than the animals did.
Amogus
The worst part of his death was not getting to see how wonderful his children turned out to be. ❤
Robert, you turned out to be exactly who your Dad would have hoped you would be. I'm sure he is extremely proud of you. I know all of Australia is, and you are beloved internationally. It's been a pleasure to watch you grow up through the screen. We had such high hopes for The Crocodile Hunter's newborn son, and you fufilled and exceeded every one. Sending you much love every day of the year from Canada ❤
Well said
Just want to give a shout out to Terri for raising such wonderful respectable children despite going through such heartache and devastation losing her true love. A mother's love is amazing! Both children are happy to follow in their dads footsteps because you taught them how important it is. Bravo! Happy birthday Robert! Thank you for doing what you do!
Well said 💜
Totally agree. I’m sure like all teenagers, there would have been many challenges and frustrations that were happening behind the scene but Terri somehow managed to keep them both on track. ❤
The two of them were so in love, it makes my heart ache that she's alone now.
In their Blood ❣️
She had the World's support. That can make a BIG difference. Without any family..no friends.. it's harder to make it all work out so that every one heals well.
I cried for days when Steve died. He was such a vibrant, energetic soul with such a passion for wildlife. And I cried again watching this video. 😢❤️
Same he died after my birthday. Worst present i had. I feel sorry for the irwin family. Robert, your dad is proud of you!
Steve would be so proud of his kids! Terri did a WONDERFUL job raising two amazing human beings! The world needs more people like the Irwin family
Robert sounds so much like his dad. He also has the same infectious energy that allows people to love nature and go on an adventure with him.
Maybe he sounds just like his dad because he's Australian come on now make it make sense
Yes he's very similar to his Dad. X
@@jessicajohnson8378 She right, he sounds exactly like his father even the same mannerism with the voice tones aswell, I'm the same with my mother & sister we sound too much alike 🤭.
@@jessicajohnson8378 that’s like saying every man in Australia sounds the same, which they don’t.
@@ANFMC-LSRMC probably because he’s Australian
Those two kids grew up to be so respectful, kind, and just wonderful people. Good job mom!
I think it’s their public image, but I’ve met them in person and they were really quite rude and dismissive
Sounds like you know them personally
@@sumaricoetzee7486 they are human couldve been an off day for them
The fact that she kept everything going, the zoo, her family, their mission. It's beautiful. If it's possible to look on our loved ones after death, I'm sure Steve is so proud of them all.
And they're $$$$ LOADED $$$$$!
Can you imagine how proud Steve would be of his son. He'd be over the damn moon.
Their mother is amazing
Terri lost her best friend, her soulmate and the love of her life the day Steve died. But even so, she raised their children to be compassionate and beautiful individuals who wanted to continue their dad's legacy and do what he did. She made sure Steve's dream and purpose was realised, and if that's not love then I don't know what love is. Robert is truly so much like his father, that infectious energy and love for animals, as if everyday is a new day full of wonder. Your dad would be so proud, Robert. Happy birthday from Scotland. 🥰
My mom and I lost one of our best friends, soulmate and the love of our life. My dad and my mom's husband passed away 2 months ago. We love and miss him terribly.
@@nicolevanbeek1994 How awful, I'm so sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself, the same goes for your mum as well. ❤️
@@nicolevanbeek1994 I lost my dad when I was 18 years old. He died of cancer. I can tell you that the pain does ease with time, you never stop missing him, but somehow you do find a way to go on. It helps to cherish his memory and talk about all the good times. I'm so sorry that you and your mom are going through this grief. Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦
You said it perfectly
That was a sweet testimony. Well said
He’s an absolute credit to his father. Teri deserves so much praise in raising her children after Steve’s passing. What a family ❤️
He’s a huge credit to his mum as well. She has done a phenomenal job raising those kids in Steve’s absence. That is a tough position to be put in and she has done it with nothing but grace.
The Irwins are the world’s family.
Very well said 😂
I bet Steve would be so proud of his family!
@@lukeshawmusic I KNOW Steve would be proud of his family. Terri for raising them like she has, how Bindi and Robert turned out, how Robert has carried on his legacy just like his father, Bindi for her carrying on with the zoo and especially for his granddaughter Grace.
Their dad/ her husband would be so beyond proud of them . For everything . Their work , their kindness , their ability to maintain Steve’s legacy ….. he’s looking down smiling so big on them
Robert and his sister Bindi bear the mantel of their father's legacy incredibly well and with such grace, poise, and humble strength. Terri does such a wonderful job in her life as both a concervationalist and a mother.
Their son is a SPITTING IMAGE of Steve in every single way. It is incredible! And the fact he followed in his footsteps is awesome!
Splitting* image... But I kinda disagree. Rob is was more tame. Steve was loose.
@@rhysbertrand8903 splitting image? lul. no.
Did he have a choice? lol
@@sudochop yeah ofcourse
@@rhysbertrand8903 Two different words broseph.... 2 different definitions.
she truly loved her partner. Every year, every mile stone, every moment she made sure the father was still there reaching beyond the afterlife.
@@Volkfire Partner would be the correct term because they were connected prior to marriage and there after marriage. Someone “might” be her new husband one day. But they will most likely not receive “partner” or “life partner” Every natural creature has a partner. Husband is a construct from religious idiots that entrap people and “might” provide tax incentives.
@@Volkfire lmao this is so nitpickey
@@Volkfire He stopped being her physical and legal husband at death. Sorry. She can take a husband any moment and she CURRENTLY is not married nor has a husband. This is the correct usage of the English language.
Very much like the movie, P.S. I Love You kzhead.info/sun/dr6zh5qXn4RmaXA/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/ed5yeNKMjaprZZ8/bejne.html
Her husband*
Terri did a tremendous job with their kids. I'm sure Steve's real proud with Bindi and Robert, especially by continuing his legacy as animal conservationists.
In many ways, the adversity that family has suffered in Steve"s untimely demise, has been the making of the now adult children. I absolutely take my hat off to Terri's task of raising her children to take up where their dad left off.
Robert seems like such a pure gentle soul, just like his father. How could Steve NOT be proud of what his son has become?
He,is
Because the dead know nothing
@@mandycote5662 how TF do you know that?
@@mandycote5662 That is a tragic outlook. So you must know exactly what happens when we die? Just bug meat? Is that your theory? Your body has no soul, no nothing? No wonder this planet is so screwed up! Your an empty soul who has nothing to lose then. Have fun.
Steve Irwin's love for the earth and ALL of it's creatures has been passed on to his children. Terri did a phenomenal job instilling Steve's loves and hopes for our planet to his kids. She is an amazing Mom and an unbelievably strong woman. Imagine losing your husband, having two young kids, and an entire zoo to run? Yet with the help of Steve's friends/team, they did it and they did it just as Steve would have! You know Steve's looking at his kids, pride swelling as he says those are my kids crikey!
Terri is an incredible woman the way she supported steve and how she has raised the kids is IMPECCABLE. You go back and watch how she looks at steve when hes talking to the camera and watch the end of this the way she looks at Robert is the exact same her face is lit up and you can see in her smile how incredibly proud she is. What a legacy 👏🏻👏🏻
And yet, she was horrible to Steve’s father and family! Have you forgotten how Bindi Irwin attacked her grandfather on Facebook by accusing him of abuse and telling lies about him?!
I love their love story, tragic they lost him so soon. He was one of the best and it would seem that Robert is a chip off the old block. 💜
@@travistenkorang5706 Wow,you just popped my balloon! I never heard anything about any of that.
@@NavvyMom It was about ignoring her and stuff. Nothing to do with physical abuse but just discluding her from the family that's all.
@@AgentGibbs Now I'm a bit more confused. Was Bindi accusing him of excluding Bindi from the family, or was he supposed to have been excluding Teri from the family? Or maybe both of them?
I was born wayyy before he was, but hearing that he's only 19 just blows my mind. Reason being, is that he's done so much in his life by far, and he is such an admirable young man. He truly is!
You can see the smile and look in Terri’s eyes when Robert talks about his dad. Her husband. I’m sure part of it is her amazing son, but I know part of it is her remembering the man she knew better than the whole of Australia combined. She misses ya Steve, as does the rest of your family and not only The people in our home, Australia, but people from all over this planet.
Man, I remember being in 3rd grade hearing about his passing. I was absolutely devastated. Now in my mid twenties I'm still teary eyed.. a treasure of a man gone too soon.
Same I remember being 7 and started balling my eyes out when I found out lot of my friends had the same reaction he was loved by everyone
I found out while I was in school. It was like a movie, everybody in the hallways was talking about it. One person was like it was a shark, another person was like no it was a sting ray! Another person was like no he drowned! There was no social media back then so nobody could fact check it so the rumours went wild.
I remember being in my 6th grade world history class when we found out. We were all so shocked. My family watched his show a lot and it was so hard to hear that he had passed
its still very heart breaking
@@serene4961 Not by the animals he harassed and scared! "CRIKEY ITS A STINGRAY!"
Steve would be so proud of Robert , he’s grown up to be just like his father , it’s amazing to see his spirit live on through his family
Agreed! He’s not living in his father’s shadow- he’s creating one of his own. They put forward such a meaningful showcase of family and respect for wildlife.
No. He tries to mimic his dad instead of making his own path.
This is so wholesome to see.
@@andrewcross8244 please elaborate
@@andrewcross8244 what a nasty piece of work you are. The lad is continuing down the same career path, sure, but in his own way. To mock a 19 yr old who lost his father as a baby, and to take away from all he’s achieved since losing him? You clearly have zero empathy or zero good influences in your own life, and that is the saddest thing of all.
Cried like a baby here. Doesn't matter male or female I was always a fan of the Irwin's and always will be. I cried like a baby when he died I was only 17 and it is crazy to think it's been so many years!! RIP Steve!! It's amazing to see your own blood following in your footsteps and being the spitting image of you.
Terri really is a super mama she’s raise both of them into beautiful loving souls that just exude their dads passion and love for the world
Steve would be so proud of the people that Bindi and Robert have become. Terri did an amazing job of keeping Steve alive in their hearts.
Robert is so well spoken, seems genuinely invested in wildlife conservation, and very humble. I’m going on 19 myself and couldn’t imagine being in the public eye like that; he seems shy but handles the attention gracefully. It can’t be easy having people constantly remind you of a lost loved one and compare you to them, though it’s true that his parents’ legacy could not be in better hands. Happy late birthday to him
You said that so eloquently
Yes 🎉
Don't forget he was also genuinly invested in bullying animals and harassing wildlife
@@strateeg32 I’m going to need some proof
@@insipidwallflower565 don't you think his death is proof enough? You think a ray will kill you in your daily life? You first of all need to be in the water, then on top of that be near him, like seriously near and then also you need to annoy him so much that he feels threatened and feels the need to defend himself. And what about all the snakes he held up by their tails, you think they enjoyed that? You think those crocodiles enjoyed being bullied all the time. That crocs lash out at random people who do not annoy them?
Steve is looking down on his son with pride in his heart!!!
Terri Irwin has done an outstanding job raising her children. They have grown into two fine adults that continue their father's legacy. Steve would be so proud. I saw a programme about Steve and Terri and how they met at the zoo. He was doing a show with a croc and immediately spotted her in the crowd and was smitten. After the show finished he went and spoke to her and her friend captured the moment with a photo of them. Amazing.
This young man carries himself like a man 20 years older. Such charisma he has.
20 year olds are pretty immature lol
@@CM-pr1oq he said 20 years OLDER lol
Grief will do that to you...
@@bobbymata1024 I wonder says it’s grief he was just raised well and is passionate for what he does
@@XxDaRkStArRzxX A mixture of both
Breaks my heart these children were robbed of a father who loved them so much. What a legacy Steve left and Terri has kept them so grounded while being in the spotlight their entire lives. Instead of being screwed up and entitled adults, they are role models for the next generation, dedicating their lives to education and wildlife conservation. Steve’s passion and enthusiasm lives on in Bindi and Robert. Incredible job Terri!
Do you really feel like they were robbed of a father🥺 Even though Steve isn't there in person, he will always be in their hearts, and souls forever 🥰
I mean in all honesty Steve left his children and loving wife the best thing ever!! The gift of video! Lots and lots of videos!! So many great memories!! Not too many people get that type of footage of their loved ones! What a blessing to have🤗
@@Lana.Lulu. I do. Losing a parent at such a young age robs you of all the experiences, guidance, talks, laughs, and memories you will take into your old age. Bindi’s daughter is robbed of a grandfather and all those experiences. Caring someone in your heart and soul is what we are left after they leave us and hopefully we have wonderful memories that bring us smiles after years of tears. This family is unusual in having so much video and TV footage of their father to keep him alive. I’m sure it has helped Robert to see the man he was with that big personality. How lucky for him.
I don’t think robbed is a word I’d use. He put himself in dangerous situations and he knew that was a risk but his contributions to the world and what he left his children with is still a dam good legacy.
@@barnowlwatcher i love this family but they weren't robbed of anything, they know how dangerous it is to be around animals and steve sadly lost his life in a way no one but himself can be blamed. he put himself into a animals habitat, only way you can get robbed of life is by the hands of another conscious human being
It really warms my heart that the Irwin family have continued Steve’s legacy. The dude was an absolute legend and they’re doing a really good job filling those massive shoes
Terri Irwin is an Australian amazing modern day mother who has instilled her children with wisdom and love and the most precious memories ever. Happy birthday 🎂 Robert
Bailed, I agree with your sentiments. They are a lovely family. Didn't Terri come from America? But she is certainly a wonderful mother.
@@valerielane1066 Yes, like Bindi's husband, Terri Irwin was originally from America. She traveled to Australia where she met Steve they fell in Love, she joined his Crocodile Hunter Adventure Crew and the rest is as they say history.
I’m not gonna lie that made me ugly cry, hearing Steve talk about how he knew his kids would one day be taking over and he’d gladly step aside and let them grow into his shoes. He was gift to the world, and his legacy continues giving.
I loved watching his old TV show back in the day just prior to his untimely passing, and my parents and I (particularly my mom) would laugh at some of the hijinks and whatnot. but in all seriousness though, I cried my ass off when I heard the news of Steve Irwin dying from a stingray attack. Dude will be missed, R.I.P!!!!
That’s some pussy shit dude… Steve died fucking around with a wild animal
@@jackzanone6180 you’ve left 3 comments on this video, all being a worthless internet troll. No one is impressed. If anything, I feel bad for you. I’m sorry for whatever happened to you that led you to feel the need to lash out in comments for attention. Hope you find peace.
I LOVE how his children are perpetuating his legacy. I pray all his grandkids do the same 🙏🙏😪😪
this really made you cry lil bro? jeez
Steve left such a Legacy in his two wonderful children. They have honored him tremendously!!! Terri must be smiling.
Steve must be smiling too on his wonderful children!
They really have!! So much respect for them and Terri.
"When they're ready to run up our mission, i will gladly step aside" WOW i was not ready to shed a tear on that one
“Cause one day I’ll be dead” got me
So sad that Steve had to leave these wonderful children behind. Terry is a fantastic mother and has done an excellant job of raising Robert and Bindi. Steve is surely smiling down on them from heaven
43 years old and can still shed a tear for this man. Wow. What a gift.
I sobbed like a baby.
Right here with you.
Australians and love for nature they don't go together. Steve Irwin QED
I’m 32, I cried like a baby.
Me too, and I've got you beat, I'm 45. He was so special.
Steve would be so proud of both Robert and Bindi. He's much missed
And Terri, she did an amazing job.
He's watching..
Bindi is hot and sexy
The True Patriot, that’s how I feel. He’s right with them. 🙏🏼♥️🕊
I bet he is smiling down. Looking over everyone.
Terri had raised 2 beautiful children and kept Steve’s vision for the zoo alive all these years❤
Look what you did! Look what your WHOLE FAMILY did. That's not just people wishing you happy birthday, that's wonderful organization after wonderful organization that tries to do the best for their world, and your whole family gives 'wildlife defender' a burning soul that keeps driving on. Thank you... All of you.
Wonderfully said!
i think it's so cool he oozes Steve's energy.. his demeaners and enthusiasm for his surroundings is undeniably steve. i love how his kids both embodied his love for animals and wildlife and carried that mission. Happy Birthday Robert!

He sounds like his dad. It's amazing how they preserved his legacy.
Its not just Steves Legacy, Robert is building his own, and I just hope hes happy with where hes at.
I'm pretty sure it's cuz part of the act was overplaying the Aussie accent lol. Even then it's still really cool how the mannerisms and "forced" accent are so similar. Truly like father like son.
Steve was a "One of a Kind" guy. It was tragic what happened to him. So glad his pictures are everywhere as a reminder of him. What a legacy he's left behind.
I was really young when he passed, and I was devastated , I cried a lot, watched him on tv more than anything else ever. A genuine angel of a man the world needed
I was 7 man I feel yah.
Same. It broke my heart.
Same here
2006… I BAWLED! i didn’t even cry at some family members funerals.. he was my idol
Me too omg. It hurt me so much. I cried for him like he was my father 😭
“This is why I was put here…because I could be dead tomorrow.” For me, that was the part that hurt the most. Rest easy, Steve-thank you for everything. 🙏🏻♥️
Ugh same! It’s beautiful and sad which is the kind of sad that makes you really cry
Man, every time I see Robert, I see so much of his dad and it brings me so much joy. I grew up watching Steve Irwin and it hurt so much when he died. I'm so glad Robert and Bindi are carrying on their dad's legacy ❤
I can't believe he's 19 and Bindi has a baby. The years have flown. Steve is immensely proud of them as he's still there in their hearts.
She does? Damn I feel freaking old now.
@@geometricart7851 Yep, married and has a beautiful daughter named Grace Warrior
Holy shit Bindi has a baby?? Good lord I remember when she was just a toddler crying because her dad took away the GIANT spider he was letting her hold and all I could think was, "Yep, she's his kiddo all right." 🤣
"I HAVE ACHIEVED MY ULTIMATE GOAL" You did, and Robert is not only following your mission, he is creating his own mission 🧡
I cried too. Steve's kids and his wife a true credit to his legacy and a great blessing to wildlife
Robert you speak so fluently and you are born to continue on your father’s legacy I would like to conclude by saying a huge thank you to the entire family Cheers and Happy Birthday Robert
As a kid I didn’t watch cartoons, I was obsessed with animal planet, but not just animal planet but Steve Irwin, he was my childhood hero, I had 4 birthday party’s that were crocodile Hunter themed, I’d always say growing up that No matter what I’d go to Australia one day and meet him, When my mom told me the news of his passing I was so upset I didn’t go to school for days, he made such a good impact on all of our childhoods I’m sure, I wish nothing but the best for him and his family, got me tearing up just thinking about it
Did you get to Australia?
Him and Jeff Corwin
Go see Robert then
I think the whole world stopped for a moment to realize his passing. He was every kids inspiration.
It's never too late to reach that goal of yours. Even though Steve isn't with us- he lives on through the work and legacy he's left behind and he lives on in his children; especially Robert with how alike they are. If you can, definitely still go to Australia and perhaps visit the sanctuary. Heck, depending on how old you are and if you have a family of your own, show them what made you love Irwin and what he did for wildlife when you were young. That's how people like Steve live on; those of us who loved him will tell stories of him and what he did and achieved. I remember feeling so upset when hearing he'd passed away, myself and my little brother used to religiously watch Steve Irwin shows. I remember my little brother constantly playing a Wiggles ft. Steve Irwin special, every. single. day. (I can still remember a few of the songs). The world has never really quite felt the same without him - but watching the Irwin children grow as I grew up as well, it's always been so nice and reassuring to see that Steve's legacy has continued and that his family are well and healthy.
As a man who lost his own father at a young age, this was a very emotional video to watch, it's not an easy life growing up without a Dad, Robert's mother did a wonderful job.
I wasn’t that young when I lost my dad, I was 26. But I got to hear my dad say how proud he was of the man I’d become. That’s the type of fuel that drives the fire of life forever.
Lost mine at 15. I’m 32 now about to start my family. If only he could see me now. Thank God I have an amazing mother
I was two days before my second birthday when I lost my dad. Our mothers do a great job.
Not being asked to but maybe someone will get something out of it. My dad shed his mortal coil by his own choice when I was 8 I found him. Mom remarried. Step dad did a lot with me taught me a lot but was very very abusive physically and emotionally. All I ever wanted was a dad's love. I kept my heart open and I forgive my step dad. I got 2 maybe 3 years with him before he died where I was proud to call him my dad and myself his son. He was a good grandpa as well. I lost him in June of 2021 at 27 years old to a brain bleed on the tennis court and I miss him a lot more than I ever thought I would. I spent years wanting nothing to do with that man. I spent his last full day alive with him. We went to church and breakfast. I took the kids to the park and then up to his house to swim and play. Kids played dad and I sat on the deck and just talked about life stresses struggles hopes and dreams. He was my dad finally and i was his son. It was a beautiful thing for me to have that closure right before he died. Keep your heart open and choose to love people. Life is way to short and unexpected to not choose love.
Taking over his dads legacy, we love you Robert ❤
This young mans father was the greatest influence I had growing up. I never missed an episode. I WISH HE WAS HERE STILL TOO AND HES NOT EVEN MY DAD.
All these years later, still not over Steve's death. What an impact he has made on the world. Robert is clearly following in his dad's gigantic footsteps 💖💖
he's doing an amazing job already. He didn't know the video was coming and he recovered emotionally and then went on to make a speech about his dad that was perfect, he's a very good speaker.
I knew I was going to get emotional, but the second he said “I could be dead tomorrow” I started to cry. It was like he loved his life with the knowledge that he may leave them early…Steve I hope you’re proud of your incredible family.
Yeah he knew the odds weren't good from the beginning.
he is for sure.
bro chill…
So his last crazy stunt was going to be his last because he felt like he was going to die soon. I wish he didnt do a last performance but he probably wouldve passed either way. Sometimes its just your time to go rip a legend
I was crying from the beginning, he was literally my childhood
A thoroughly decent family. His pops must be super proud!
Oh man. That really hits the feels. Robert is so much like his dad. What a legacy. I hope to see Irwin's for a long time.
What a mature man. At 19, I wouldn't have been able to do what he does. Godspeed Robert, happy belated birthday
It’s so damn easy…
@@jackzanone6180 easy to be a hater loser online
@@i3642 you can’t do what I do little guy
@@jackzanone6180 😂 get a grip
Well, I'm a grown man that's crying his eyes out now. How special. RIP Steve! Happy Birthday Robert! What a family!
I'm with you 👊
I feel that 🥺🥺🙏🏼
Same here. This family is a national treasure.
IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYIN BRO 😢
tears dripping off my nose crying lol
Terri is an amazing and strong woman. She raised her kids to be strong like Steve was. most women would of quit and isolated themselves. Terri didn't. She stayed with the Zoo and while sure she doesn't do docs anymore cause of what happened to Steve. I loved seeing her in their new Series. Bindi now has a daughter and is married. Robert is the spitting image of his dad and is walking in his footsteps. I can't be any prouder of this family. Steve was my hero when I was a kid. he was the reason I wanted to study animals. His death was the reason I put that dream to bed. I dreamt of meeting him when I was a kid. sadly never got the chance. He's looking down on Robert and Bindi and smiling. And shouting at their names.
What an absolutely beautiful family. Terri is amazing in how she pulled herself up after Steve Irwin's death and continued his mission with Bindi and Robert.
Such a humble kid. I absolutely LOVE how dedicated he is to his father's legacy.
His father was the man of men in the animal world. I`ll never forget when that 2000 lb crock. tried to run him down for lunch.
Don’t know if I’d say humble
@@lauchlanstill6677 how so? 😂
I told myself i wasnt gonna cry.. soon as i heard his voice i couldnt help it. R.I.P Steve. You guys did a wonderful job raising these kids.
I really thought it'd be okay too but then when Steve started talking and saying how proud he was anyway broke me
I got choked seeing it too I could only imagine how the kid felt. Who didn't love crocodile hunter?
dude I started crying when I saw the wiggles 🤣😭🤣😭
Been a while since I cried this hard. Didn't expect it.
same here
No one has done a better job of keeping a love one that has past still a part of their lives today. The way she has raised these children and kept of with the commement to wildlife is astounding. What a beautiful day for this family. And thank you for sharing it with us! Steve for be such a proud dad!
I just can't believe how grown up Robert is from a wee baby both him and Bindy. Terry never ages and looks the same year after year. Yes, Steve was the show but Terry has had the hardest part in life keeping the family together. Done a fantastic job too. Pat on your back Terry best mom to your kids. Much respect & hi from Canada.
Wow, 19 already and such a great guy like his dad. Robert is doing his father proud walking in his footsteps to continue where he left off in conservation of wild species and getting the public involved with it too. Well done mum Terri in bringing up such well informed and enlightened kids. You deserve a medal. Yes, a few tears were shed during this film I must admit.
He even has his mannerism and speech. It’s freaky since he barely knew his dad.
cry baby 😊 lol
@@nzfalcon6578 Weirdo lmao you act like it’s bad to cry, if you don’t cry there’s something deeply broken in you 🤣
@@arthurmorgan265 i was having a joke to you , of course its ok to cry
Man what I’m still crying and the comments don’t help 😭 such an absolutely beautiful family. It’s tragic to know what happened but this video literally made such light of it. This family is a truly powerful team. 😭❤️
I hope the new generation can look up and love Robert like how we did with Steve. ❤
Robert truly is a remarkable young man. So much love and respect for him and his family.
Steve’s death hit so many of us hard. We grew up watching him as kids and it seemed like the man was untouchable. Still shocks me that he was taken the way he was. His kids grew up to be amazing adults and Terri really is the rock of the family. ❤
He based his entire career on grabbing and hugging dangerous wild animals, and you were shocked when he was finally killed by one? I thought he was very lucky not to lose a child when parading them as toddlers within feet of crocodiles.
@@alostbard I always wonder about those of us who feel it their job to seek out and spew negativity at every opportunity, whether they understand the topic at hand, or not. To do so in regard to such tragic events as this is particularly disturbing and disgusting; especially when those cruel words clearly do not need saying. What an exhausting, unpleasant way to choose to experience life.
@@tripod13mc This is why we kicked him out of the bard's college. Every time we recounted a heroic epic, he'd always interrupt with an "um, actually" and bring the mood down. The kids hated him.
@@tripod13mc it wasnt that negative because alostbard didnt say anything wrong. he has a point on why MelMars thought it was shocking that Irwin died by a dangerous animal. anyone who interacts with dangerous animals as a career will have a high risk on getting killed by them, so it isnt shocking he died that way.
@@ernestogastelum9123 which validates my point... that there IS no point to saying any of those things. Dude OBVIOUSLY knew the risk. Either way, there is no need to make such callous and needless comments about something so tragic; particularly when this is about the love of a father who has passed away for his son left missing him. Sometimes, we just don't need to say the obvious things; it's called tact, and social awareness. 😑
Trust all of us Robert when we say that your dad is looking down on you with the biggest smile of pride on his face.
We are not God's counselor or his advisor. We do not speak for God. We do not have the authority to say where any of us will be or what we will be doing. We are only the creation and not the creator.
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv dont be a pharisee my brother, you know what she meant god loves all his creation
@@jmcc8718 That does not even make sense to what she said. She is not God's counselor or advisor. None of us are. What does God loving us all have to do with her statement??? Nothing. That is not Biblical about those who have died who make it to heaven to be seeing what is going on. If it were so, then the Bible would be lying when it says there will be no more tears and no more sorrow. Don't be a Mcdonalds burger flipper. duh.
Evan religious people don't believe they are looking down on you. Dead till judgement day
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv Your religion a lie!
Great loving family Roberts dad was a kind caring man
Robert has grown and blossomed into an incredible young man. he is she spitting image of his father with all his vigor and enthusiasm. Terri, Robert, and Bindi are doing an incredible job of carrying on Steve's legacy, he must be so proud in Heaven. Happy Birthday to you mate
Having lost my dad when I was 12, this hits really hard. Keep going Robert, make our dad’s proud!
Your father passed, but you never lost him mate. He is always with you.
My girl lost her dad when she was 12. It's so hard on her, even now at 21. You got another father up there and they're all proud of y'all. Keep pushing brother
I'm 32 and still cherish every day I get to spend with my old man
Lol
I was 9. It fooked me up for life cause I didn't know I was guna lose him. There so much I want to talk to him about as an adult. I'm 32 come February 😢
I am so glad that both kids are carrying on Steve's legacy...he must be so proud of his family.
Oops and pride is a sin. They don't have tv sets where ever he is or the internet.
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv Your religion a lie!
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv that’s not at all the same kind of pride
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv relax 😂💀
He's dead lil whoadie
Robert and Bindi are both amazing people, kind, polite, with huge hearts and are carrying on his dream of wildlife conservation. Steve would absolutely be beyond proud of his children, and his wife for raising them as a single mother to become the people they are today. This family is a treasure
Terri is a phenomenal Mom and wife. Her children are exceptional, and she and Steve's spirit are responsible for that. After the pain of losing Steve, those kids were her reason for living and keeping the zoo rolling.
You make him proud every minute of every day, Robert. I know it must feel like you're in the shadow of your dad sometimes but you really have just taken his torch and kept going. You've inspired a generation who never knew your father and you've taught them so much all on your own about the amazing world around them. You achieved what your father always dreamed of and that's awesome!
Well-said!
Agreed
I was lucky to grow up watching Steve. It's been a privilege watching his children grow up and share that same spark.
@@MadMage1993 I remember where I was when I learned he had died. Steve was amazing and impacted so many people. I'm so glad that spark didn't die with him. I see it in his wife and his kids. I imagine his grandkids and great grandkids will keep it going, that fire was so bright.
@@jnewcomb I don't remember where or how I found out, all I can remember is just the shock and then processing he died and ended with crying a little. He really was such a bright person and incredible. No one can ever match him but his kids are certainly casting shadows of their own. I hope it is a flame that will pass for generations and likely will. Those grandkids will grow up seeing old reruns of their grandfather and think, "I wanna be like that guy."
This made me tear up so I can only imagine how much this meant to Robert and his mom. ❤️❤️❤️
I started to cry at the title of the video. ❤❤❤
Steve was amazing and Robert looks and is just like his dad, but Teri is an amazing person also. She’s just as passionate about wildlife as Steve was and the world is blessed to have two amazing parents that brought two amazing children into the world to continue their work. Much love to them all and may God bless them forever…
It’s such an understatement to say that Steve would be extremely proud of Robert. Good on ya mate. Cheers.
My throat is tight af watching this 😭 Steve Irwin will never be forgotten and the fact that he talked about the kids taking over and being gone tomorrow.... just wow incredible father rip
Just had that same feeling.. if only I had half the parents Robert has..
Waite this wasn’t Steve irwin in the video ?
Terry is magnificent, a true Mama BEAR, and the video for Robert's birthday is absolutely beautiful and heart warming, gosh I miss Steve, we all miss him oh so much. He is resting in peace in heaven, Good Job! The whole family simply warms my heart. When little Robert in the video 'the ode' to him from his Mom 'jumped' into his Daddy Steve's arms, OMG.....how beautiful a memory. Amen.❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
He’s such an amazing person, at only 19… he’s so mature, I cried, I lost my father at 7, so I get it, that video, was such a heart warming thing to do for him ❤, Steve would be so SO proud of him, he’s his double
He has so much of his Dad's heart. His love of life is so apparent. He is truly a living legacy. Props to Terri for raising two incredible children.
