This is the unbelievable moment an injured serpent eagle flew into a MOVING car for help.<br /><br />Renante Balbuena, a restaurant and hotel server from Charleston, South Carolina, USA, captured the video whilst on holiday in Tanay, Rizal, Philippines.<br /><br />Renante, 33, was filming his first ever vlog, aiming to take some videos of the beautiful mountains and awesome nature for his YouTube channel, when the bird crashed into his car. <br /><br />He eventually saw the bird was injured and jumped into action to help the defenceless animal.<br /><br />He said: “I set up the GoPro inside my car and started describing my vacation, then out of nowhere the bird crashed through my car!<br /><br />“I was in shock for a few seconds but I knew it wouldn’t hurt me.<br /><br />“I was just trying to understand why on earth a bird would fly into my car!”<br /><br />Renante noticed that the eagle was injured when he saw its blood on his car seat. He saw that the left wing was badly wounded and missing a few primary feathers.<br /><br />He said: "I closed the window so he didn’t injure himself more and grabbed a towel I had in my backseat to wrap him up.<br /><br />“I put it on my legs and went home to get in touch with my cousin, who is a vet.<br /><br />“My cousin prescribed some medicine for it whilst I cleaned the wound and tried to feed it.<br /><br />He added: “I’m not an animal expert but it looked like something had bitten it.<br /><br />After dedicating a few days to care for him, feeding him fish, fruits and even meat, the eagle began to eat. <br /><br />Renante said: “I was so happy and excited to see him eating.<br /><br />“I love animals so much - cats, dogs, chickens, you name it! Sometimes my mom hates me because I adopt all kinds of animals.<br /><br />“I found out online that he was a Philippines Serpent Eagle, which is an endangered species and needs to be in the wild. <br /><br />“I wished I could pet him but I didn’t want to stress him and cause him to not eat, so I put a blanket over the cage and left him overnight.<br /><br />The eagle was ready to be released after four days, so Renante called his fiance and asked for her help.<br /><br />He said: “My fiance helped film me releasing the bird with a GoPro, her phone and a drone.<br /><br />“When I tossed him I said ‘You’re healed now, fly high and free my friend. God sent you to me and you could be my genie in a bottle. Please help me become successful!’<br /><br />“I felt goosebumps after he left.”<br /><br />Renante has had a very difficult life and believes the eagle was a sign that things are going to get better for him. <br /><br />He said: “My father and baby sister passed away in 2019 so I left the Philippines to move to America and start a new life. I work seven days a week to provide for my family back home.<br /><br />“The video has received so much attention and it is really exciting - maybe this could be the start of my YouTube career!<br /><br />“I love making videos and posting them on my YouTube channel, LittleBandido. I don’t have perfect content and no one is really watching but I'm still going to post.<br /><br />“I want to do youtube full time so I can go back to the Philippines and be with my family. I miss them every day and wish for a time I can spend Christmas and birthdays with them.<br /><br />“I am a man with hard falls but I’m still standing tall. <br /><br />“I think that your positive actions, combined with positive thinking, always result in success.”
