Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late and still very beloved Steve Irwinand Terri Irwin and sister of Robert Irwin, shared a touching tribute post honoring her father's birthday on Instagram.
The post, which comprised a carousel of photos of Bindi Irwin with her father, mother and brother, included the caption, "Happy Birthday, Dad. We miss you so much. Grace is so proud to tell everyone that Grandpa Crocodile is her guardian angel. Love you. Forever.❤️"
Photos showed the Irwin family hard at work in their roles as conservationists, pictured alongside a host of animals, and personal family photos as well, some with younger brother Robert Irwin and some without—including one before Robert Irwin was born, depicting Bindi Irwin as a baby with a snake draped around her, Terri Irwin and Steve Irwin's shoulders.

In the two hours since the post was shared, it has already amassed nearly 100,000 likes and is flooded with messages of love for Bindi Irwin, her dad and the rest of their family. Among the comments, in fact, is Terri Irwin herself, who wrote, "Your dad loved you so much, and was a proud girl dad!"
Steve Irwin would have turned 64 years old today, but the conservationist, zookeeper and television star passed away suddenly nearly 20 years ago, when he was 44 years old, after an accident with a stingray. His family members have continued to keep his legacy alive, with Terri Irwin as well as both of their children remaining heavily involved in conservationist work, as well as public education.
The family has also maintained a presence in the public eye, particularly with Bindi Irwin and Robert Irwin's respective appearances on Dancing with the Stars. In fact, both won the show, Bindi Irwin in 2015, and Robert Irwin 10 years later, in 2025.
