Bindi Irwin is slammed for ‘pathetic and useless’ response over ‘massive tragedy’

Bindi Irwin has been slammed for her ‘pathetic’ response to an American farm owner’s plea for help after she lost 99% of her birds to avian influenza.

Taylor Blake, also known as Eco Sister on Twitter, sent a desperate plea to the Irwin clan last week after her beloved bird and TikTok fan favourite Emmanuel contracted the virus.

Bindi said she wasn’t able to provide too much support but sent her love and prayers to the farm.

Fans flocked to social media to brand Bindi’s response as ‘pathetic and useless’.

‘What a pathetic, useless reply. Zero effort to help when you’re in a supposedly unique position to use your influence and contacts to actually help her. Thoughts and prayers are cheap. You are unimpressive and that’s being polite,’ one person said.

‘Thoughts and prayers are nice, but is there not someone you could recommend, given your family has been in this field for years?’ another agreed.

A third person wrote: ‘So you don’t know of anyone in your network who could help? One would assume it wouldn’t be hard for you to ask around or spread the word in the hopes someone with the right experience comes forward, rather than writing this form[al] letter response pretending you care.’

Taylor has been sharing her story on social media since her Knuckle Bump Farm in South Florida was struck down with the epidemic.

She explained she has lost every chicken and duck as well as many geese, turkeys and swans.

Her beloved bird Emmanuel was the latest bird to contract the flu, prompting Taylor to send a desperate plea to the Irwin clan.

Taylor expressed her admiration for the family while asking for advice.

‘I have been a fan of your family for as long as I can remember, I am reaching out to you in total desperation right now,’ she tweeted.

‘I need help saving my emu, Emmanuel. I will pay to fly anyone to us, if they can help, no questions asked.’

Bindi responded: ‘Thank you so much for reaching out.’

‘Though our Wildlife Hospital which has treated over 100,000 animals including emus, we have never treated an emu with this particular disease,’ she added.

‘We will need to rely on our fellow animal experts with more experience with this avian flu.’

Bindi continued: ‘Our hearts are with you and we appreciate that you care so deeply and have such compassion for darling Emmanuel.

‘We believe that all of us need to have love for each and every individual animal.

‘We hope that someone who has greater experience in their area can be of assistance. Sending love and light your way from our entire family.’
