Couple Runs All Over Town From One Police Station To Another In Order To Help Save An Angry Bird

Heyo, animal lovers! How is everyone feeling this Friday? Do you guys have any exciting plans for tonight? Whether you're going out or staying in, we hope you stay safe. 

Today we thought we'd shake things up and bring you some non-doggo-related content. We know, it's heartbreaking! But hey, we have to show some love for all the other spectacular species of the animal kingdom. We recently stumbled upon a both funny and heartwarming Twitter thread where a woman talks about her journey to saving a floofy little angry bird. She wasn't the one to rescue the bird, someone brought him in for her to check out. Oh yeah, did we mention she works at an animal shelter? We won't spoil the details, we'll leave that for your scrolling. But what we will say is that if there is an important takeaway from this piece, it's that you should always consult or call a professional when dealing with wild animals.

    Font - Elle Has Cats @ellle_em I help out at the animal shelter on the local Navy Base and someone brought it there and like I am not an expert but I do know birds of prey generally have legal protection so I was like "....yeah we gotta find someone who knows about this stuff" 11:24 PM.

    "…birds of prey generally have legal protection…"

    Isn't it amazing the things you can learn from social media? Did everyone know that wild birds are protected under the law? Because we definitely didn't. We do now though! So if you ever see a bird in danger, know it has rights!

    Font - Elle Has Cats @ellle_em : My husband happens to know someone who works in for one of the local towns because they fly model airplanes together so he called him and the guy knows the local cops and said we had to take the bird to the cops and wait for an official bird rehabilitation person to get it 11:27 PM Jul 1, 2022.

    Only by this tweet did we realize that this was happening in a whole other country! Wow! This woman is a true hero. It amazes us that there are still kind people left in this world, ones who are dedicated to spending their time and effort in helping animals in need. You're a super human miss Elle.

    Font - Elle Has Cats @ellle_em So my husband calls his friend again and the friend has to speak to the cop and FINALLY the official bird person arrives to take the bird. It's a baby kestrel? I guess? And it's very thin but hopefully the bird guy can help it 11:31 PM Jul 1, 2022. Twitter for Android

    Font - Elle Has Cats @ellle_em In all seriousness it's super important to get injured or abandoned birds of prey to people who are qualified (and legally allowed) to care for them 11:47 PM Jul 1, 2022 Twitter for Android

    Font - Elle Has Cats @ellle_em (to be clear I did not find the bird, nor did it come directly to me. It was brought to an animal shelter I help at and we ended up taking responsibility because my husband knew someone who could help) 12:02 AM. Jul 2, 2022. Twitter for Android
