These Twins are out here minding their business, helping injured birds, helping Mother Nature In general and people want to come here and be so horrible and negative! I have huge respect to these two and everything they are doing! 💚 🦢 🌴 🌍

Nah. Attaching yourself to your sibling that much is weird.

I am an identical twin but very glad I have my own identity. Even FB can't tell us apart.

@@TheHomerowKeys The scientist in me agrees with you, there does seem to be a little OCD going on the way they purposely say the same words together. There's that set of British twins that are on TV cuz they have an extreme case of obsessive twinning to the point they date ONE man 😅 that's what everyone knows them for, they can't have separate boyfriends. They have to date the same one as each other

School of thought: *They can ONLY give what they have inside. And if all they have inside is ugly, putrid, hateful, and nasty than that's all they are going to give us.* You almost have to feel sorry for people who are so unhappy with themselves that they will never be happy for anyone else.

im so astonished, this world never fails to amaze me, I have never seen twins like this in all of my life, and I'm almost 39, they are amazing, and they love animals, I love animals more than I love people, people have always been shitty to me, was bullied quite bad growing up through school and even when i finished, i still get it a bit now but a lot of the bullies hate what they did to me because I was only diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 31 so I forgive some, but some have never changed, and animals cant bully you and they cant deceive you and they will never lie to you, animals are so cool, nature is amazing and these twins are awesome :)

A fascinating childlike naivety. The ways they’ve matured is fascinating. I shudder at the thought one may predecease the other as they grow older. It’s lovely that the parents and girls have stuck together.

My identical twin passed away in my arms from cancer ten years ago. I talk to her every day and even though I'm not a religious person, I hope that somehow, someway, we will be together again.

@OsloNoWay 3 жыл бұрын

Matured? They haven't matured. Nothing lovely or fascinating about this story. Twins are TWO people, and they should be treated as two individual people from the birth! It's too late for these two, they are like Siamese twins and it's their parent's fault.

@be.A.b Жыл бұрын

They’re so good with animals because they’re so emphatically in-tune with each other. Since they’re not literally connected through a tube, they rapidly read each others micro-expressions, and then predict each other’s “next move” using known body language habits. They pretty much wired themselves to be masters of non-verbal communication. Each of us has a personal algorithm of habits and thought patterns that that makes us predictable. Some are just really good at hacking it in real time.
