She’s just three weeks old but Grace Warrior Irwin Powell is already living up to her name.

The latest addition to the Australia Zoo family was pictured in her doting grandmother’s arms as she was introduced to some friendly chickens at their family-run zoo.

“Introducing Grace to some of the animals living in her backyard @AustraliaZoo,” Terri wrote on Twitter.

Terri — who is going to be called Bunny after a maternal figure from her childhood — became a grandmother in late March when her daughter Bindi and her son-in-law Chandler Powell welcomed their baby girl into the world.

“We spent a long time searching for grandma names that also had an animal link,” Bindi previously said.

“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’.”

The post was flooded with comments congratulating Teri on her “precious” granddaughter.

“Beautiful! What a wonderful environment to be in,” one person wrote.

“Terri!!! That baby is adorable. I don’t even know how you give her back to her parents! Happy for you all. Be safe and take care,” another person tweeted.

“How much fun are you having being a grandma? What an amazing place to grow up,” another post said.

“Precious moments...only the beginning of so many more! Beautiful Grace Warrior, you are so blessed with a beautiful family and adventures!,” a fan wrote.

Baby Grace was also snapped wearing an adorable Australia Zoo onesie.

“Australia Zoo style: Our gorgeous girl in her new Wildlife Warrior outfit supporting conservation. Chandler and I worked with our amazing team for months to create these cute clothes,” Bindi wrote on Instagram.

Bindi announced the exciting arrival of her little girl on Instagram and said her middle name was inspired by her late father, Steve Irwin.

“March 25, 2021. Celebrating the two loves of my life. Happy first wedding anniversary to my sweetheart husband and day of birth to our beautiful daughter,” Bindi wrote.

“Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light. Grace is named after my great-grandmother, and relatives in Chandler’s family dating back to the 1700s.

“Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior.

“Her last name is Powell and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad.

“There are no words to describe the infinite amount of love in our hearts for our sweet baby girl. She chose the perfect day to be born and we feel tremendously blessed.”
