Bindi Irwin shares sweet images of herself cradling her daughter as they celebrate Terri’s birthday

Irwin matriarch Terri celebrated her 57th birthday on Tuesday. 

And it seems that it was a family affair, with her daughter Bindi, 22, sharing some sweet images from the day.  

Bindi and her family celebrated the occasion by releasing some turtles back into the wild off the coast of Queensland, which were looked after at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. 

‘This will live in my heart forever’: On Tuesday, Bindi Irwin shared sweet images of herself cradling her daughter as they joined the family celebrating Terri’s birthday by releasing turtles into the wild

In the images, Bindi can be seen cradling her tiny tot Grace Warrior, who turns four months this week. 

‘Celebrating my beautiful mama’s birthday by releasing five sea turtles back to the wild, after they were in care at our Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital,’ Bindi wrote on Instagram. 

She added: ‘This day will live in my heart forever, with the most amazing Mama turned Bunny (our term for grandmother). I love you beyond description, Mum.’

Back in February, Bindi revealed that her mother Terri will go by the name of Bunny to her daughter, Grace Warrior, instead of grandmother. 

‘We spent a long time searching for grandma names that also had an animal link,’ Bindi told The Bump of Terri’s alternative nickname.

‘We decided that she’s going to be called “Bunny”. When she was growing up in Oregon her neighbour down the street was always called “Bunny”,’ Bindi said.

She added: ‘It only just dawned on us that it wasn’t her name but rather that everyone called her since she was a grandmother figure to the entire neighborhood.’

Bindi and husband Chandler Powell also joked that Bindi’s younger brother Robert, 17, had decided to ‘upgrade’ his title as uncle to ‘funcle’: ‘It means fun uncle. I love it!’ 

Terri’s birthday celebrations come amid the Irwin family feud that is making headlines. 

Interestingly enough, on Terri’s birthday, the late Steve Irwin’s ‘hot niece’ Rebecca Lobie launched her own adults-only subscription website.

Earlier this week, Rebecca told Daily Mail Australia she ‘doesn’t believe in airing out our family business’ when asked how things were going between her and the Irwins.

‘There is enough hurt and emotion for everyone involved with it all that it doesn’t need to be rehashed,’ the mother-of-two said. 

The Irwin family feud was blasted wide open last month after Bindi spoke about her strained relationship with her grandfather Bob in a scathing Facebook post.

She sensationally claimed Bob – who is Steve’s father – has shown ‘no interest in spending time with me or my family’.

‘I really wish my entire family could spend time with [daughter] Grace. Unfortunately, my grandfather Bob has shown no interest in spending time with me or my family,’ the 22-year-old said.

Bindi went on to claim that Bob had ‘returned gifts I’ve sent after he opened them’ and ignored any letters sent from her.

‘From the time I was a little girl he has ignored me, preferring to spend time doing anything else rather than being with me,’ she continued.

‘He has never said a single kind word to me personally. It breaks my heart.’

She went on to say that her mother Terri still writes to him and sends birthday cards and Christmas gifts, but claims they have received no reply. 

‘We have also been his financial support since 1992 when he returned from Australia Zoo, sending him funds every week,’ she added.

‘We built him a house on a beautiful property and will always do our best to ensure his wellbeing.

‘I hope everyone remembers to be kind to one another but most of all care for your own mental health. I have struggled with this relationship my entire life and it brings me enormous pain,’ Bindi concluded.

Following her harsh post, members of Bob’s inner circle fired back at Bindi.

Bethany Wheeler, another granddaughter of Bob’s by marriage, declared on Facebook: ‘The time has come to speak up.’

Ms Wheeler, whose stepmother Mandy is Bob’s daughter, defended her grandfather’s character, calling him ‘one of the most genuinely beautiful humans on this planet’ who has ‘never spoken out or put down anybody’.

Amanda French, a family friend who co-wrote Bob’s 2016 autobiography The Last Crocodile Hunter, also accused Bindi of assassinating her grandfather’s character.
