Title: Crow stuck in tree Post by: The-Crow on September 15, 2008, 01:06:28 AM Published: 17 Jul 2008 A MASSIVE rescue operation was launched after a bird got stuck in a TREE. Clinton the crow was left dangling upside down for three days after getting tangled up in his own nest. He was finally rescued by a team of SEVEN firefighters using a fire engine and an aerial platform. They eventually lifted him to safety after working on him for more than an HOUR. Resident Danny Coles, 39, said: "It's a bit ironic that a bird had to be rescued from a tree. "It must have taken the firemen at least an hour to get him down and quite a crowd gathered to watch." The crow, nicknamed Clinton after the road in Northampton where he lives, had got his foot caught in a piece of string used to line his nest. RSPCA officers, who also helped with the rescue, believe he had been dangling for at least three days because he was so weak and thin. Crew manager Shaun O'Neill, from Mereway fire station in Northampton, said: "He was in a very precarious position ten metres up in the tree and it wasn't safe to use a ladder to rescue him." The crow, who was exhausted and dehydrated, was taken to St Tiggywinkle's Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire. He is now recovering from his ordeal.

Some devastating things in the news today. Quote A woman dialled 999 because a rabbit she bought via a newspaper advert did not have floppy ears, Central Scotland Police have said.
