FIREFIGHTER HELPS RESCUE AN EXHAUSTED HUMMINGBIRD <br />WITH VID<br />By Saloni Mathur<br />Watch this heartwarming video in which a firefighter finds an exhausted little hummingbird lying almost lifeless on the ground and rushes to nurse it back to health. <br />Burke Alexander, the firefighter, was preparing for work at a fire station in Klein, Texas, USA, when he noticed a tiny animal lying belly-up on the ground. <br />No stranger to acts of heroism, his life-saving instincts kicked in. <br />Burke said: “Really quick, I checked if he was breathing.<br />“I knelt down, and when I saw he was breathing, I immediately went and got some sugar water.<br />“But the little one did not drink the water initially. I suspected that he may have gotten trapped inside the station and tired himself out. <br />“But later I realised the cause of his distress was that it was wrapped in cobwebs.<br />“I started pulling on it and freed his wing. It had been wrapped completely. <br />“As I pulled that off, the hummingbird quickly recovered and flew away, it was easily able to find the exit.”<br />ENDs
