Bindi Irwin’s husband, Chandler Powell has revealed the adorable nickname their family uses for mother Terri Irwin in an appreciation post on Instagram.
The hunt for Terri’s nickname as a grandmother first began before to the birth of Bindi and Chandler’s daughter, Grace Warrior Irwin Powell.
Chandler and Bindi have now been married for more than two years.

“Just wanted to write a note to my amazing wife. I had to get my tonsils out and she has been taking the best care of me. I’m so lucky to be loved by you, @bindisueirwin,” the Instagram post read.
“Also, thank you Bunny (my awesome mum-in-law) for taking care of Grace while we’ve been in the hospital and I’ve been recovering.”
Grace clearly loves her uncle.

“We spent a long time searching for grandma names that also had an animal link,” Bindi said.
The name was inspired by an old neighbour of Terri’s during her childhood in Oregon, who was called ‘bunny’ and was a grandmother figure to the neighbourhood.
Grace, Bindi and grandma ‘bunny’!

Bindi’s younger brother Robert Irwin also has a nickname, but unlike ‘bunny’ it has no connection to an animal. Instead Robert wanted to be know as the fun uncle or ‘funcle’ for short.
The family continue to keep Steve Irwin in their hearts, and Bindi has planned to show her daughter – now over a year old – the many documentaries and photos collected of the Australian legend.
