Over the years the WBFD occasionally is requested to assist in animal rescues varying from ducks, kittens, dogs… and now birds. This morning the WBFD was asked to assist in the rescue of an exotic bird in South Heidelberg Township. The bird had escaped overnight and was located sitting atop a nearly 70’ tall tree checking out the views of the Wernersville area and did not want to come down. Ladder 18 postioned in the area and after several attempts to coax the exotic bird down, it eventually took the advice and perched itself on one of our members who kindly escorted the bird down to its awaiting cage. #teamWBFD #birdrescue ...

Those are the best kind of rescues. Good outcomes.

We had an opportunity to rescue a parrot with our Aerialscope. As we approached the bird, he just sat there squawking at the guys. Within 3 feet he just turned his back and flew three trees over and started to sing! 🥴🤷‍♂️. Not sure if they ever caught him! 👍😊

Way to go! Great job WBFD! Thank you! 👏👏
