Robert Irwin, the son of the late Steve Irwin, recently took to Instagram to share some heartbreaking news with his followers. At just 20 years old, Robert announced the passing of Nacho, a cherished member of the Irwin family. Nacho, a beloved pet chicken, had captured the hearts of many who followed the Irwin family’s adventures and daily life.
Remembering Nacho
In a touching video message, Robert expressed his sadness over Nacho’s passing, calling her “a beautiful old chook who lived a lot of great years.” The Irwin family had a deep affection for Nacho, and her loss was felt deeply. However, in the midst of their grief, Robert shared some uplifting news – the arrival of two new members to their chicken family, Waffles and Mochi.
Robert introduced Waffles as “the confident one” and Mochi as “a little bit more mild-mannered,” showcasing the unique personalities of their new animal companions. The Irwin family welcomed them with open arms, inviting their followers to share in the joy of their arrival. The outpouring of support and condolences from their followers highlighted the strong bond between the Irwin family and their community.
This is not the first time the Irwin family has shared the loss of a beloved pet with their followers. In 2022, they bid farewell to their pet echidna, who had been a part of their family for 38 years. Bindi Irwin, Robert’s sister, paid tribute to the echidna, describing it as “The sweetest, kindest, most wonderful echidna you ever did meet.” The Irwin family’s willingness to share moments of grief and remembrance with their followers only serves to deepen the connection between them.
In times of loss and sorrow, it is heartwarming to see the outpouring of support and love from the community. The Irwin family’s openness and vulnerability in sharing their moments of grief serve as a reminder of the deep bond between humans and animals. While Nacho may no longer be with them, her spirit lives on in the hearts of those who loved her. And as Waffles and Mochi join their chicken family, the cycle of life continues, filled with love, joy, and the enduring connection between the Irwin family and the world of wildlife.
