Bindi Irwin and her brother, Robert, have always been close — or should we call him Brian? In watching these two grow up, people from all around the world have come to cherish their sibling relationship. And we understand why! Time and time again, they prove why they are the definition of sibling goals. In fact, earlier this year, Robert got emotional while giving a speech about his sister in honor of Women’s Health Month.
It’s moments like these that remind us of why we love the Irwin family oh-so much! But as much as we love the emotional stories about their lives, we also love the humorous ones. Luckily, we got one just like that in a recent interview that featured both Bindi and Robert. This is how we learned that Robert has an interesting nickname: Brian. Best of all, only Bindi calls him this. Find out the hilarious reason why in the video below!

When you’re tasked with naming every animal in the zoo at such a young age, can you really blame Bindi for thinking she’d be naming her brother, too? Best of all, though, it’s clear she felt very strongly about that name choice — she still calls him that to this day!
