A police officer named Byrd rescues a bird.

Officer McCageor Byrd, with the help of other officers, was able to capture the bird and get it to a wildlife rehabilitation center. According to the Audubon Society, it’s likely one of the three red-tailed hawks that have been featured on a local web cam. The bird had no injuries, but will have further tests done before being released.

Some really good advice at the end of the video:

Leave fledglings alone because there is a good chance the parent is nearby and taking care of that fledging.

What are the chances? Byrd and bird!

    Thank you Officer Byrd for helping this bird!  Cops that love animals rock it to it in my book!
