Heartwarming Moment: Hen Named Mary Poppins Offers Treats to Her Human Companion
In a heartwarming display of interspecies camaraderie, a hen named Mary Poppins at Beazy Farms Animal Sanctuary has captured the attention of many with her unique "tidbitting" behavior. The sanctuary, home to over 100 misfit and special needs animals in the Southern California mountains, recently shared a video showcasing Mary's thoughtful gesture. "Tidbitting," a behavior commonly observed in mother hens teaching their chicks about food or roosters courting hens, involves offering food. However, Mary Poppins, a black and white hen, was seen offering a treat from her food bowl to her human companion rather than consuming it herself. The video, uploaded on August 15, 2025, shows Mary Poppins pecking at her food, then looking up and making a soft call, seemingly presenting the morsel. The author of the video, from the Beazy Farms Animal Sanctuary, expressed their delight and honor at the hen's actions. "I’m not sure if Mary is expressing her admiration or trying to build my foraging skills, but either way I’m honored," they stated. This touching interaction highlights the complex and often surprising bonds that can form between humans and animals, offering a glimpse into the individual personalities of farm animals.
