A woman showed extraordinary courage, bravery and kindness when she rescued an animal in distress.
Life can be punishing, throwing up hurdles and obstacles in our way. These arduous situations can, unfortunately, can come as a result of doing. Yes, sometimes people screw up and a helping hand can be necessary in order to escape the predicament. It turns out that is true for both people and animals.
A video posted on YouTube shows a woman giving a bird, a Kookaburra, a hand. The bird had somehow managed to get itself stuck in a fence. In the video, it looks like the bird is stuck in a precarious position.
While the bird’s face is completely visible, its thin, elongated neck remains stuck. It appears that if the animal were to struggle much at all, it could sever its neck, leading to possibly fatal injuries. Luckily, the woman was in the area to help the fowl.
In the video, the woman, who comes across the animal in the odd situation, sounds surprised that the animal is still living. She remarks that “you are alive.”
After viewers hear the woman’s voice, her hand is seen behind the bird as she closely moves the bird up the fence. As she is doing this, she has just one request for the bird.
“Please don’t bite me,” she said. “Please don’t bite me.”
As she finally moves the bird to the top of the fence and the bird’s freedom seems imminent, she sounds a bit uneasy. She’s obviously unsure of how the wild animal will react when it regains the ability to move about freely.
“Oh, gosh,” she said.
The bird, once freed, immediately flies away. It appears to have suffered no injuries as a result.
Thankfully that woman was around to give a hand and free the bird. Yes, the animal may have gotten itself into that position but just like people, birds also need help every now and then.
