Shark In The Tidal Pool & Bird Just Needs A Hug

Australians are not afraid of anything. A shark had gotten itself stranded in a tidal pool next to the ocean and real estate agent Melissa Hatheier decided to step in. She picked up the shark with her bare hands and put it back in the ocean. We're impressed, we have to call the military if we find a spider in our house. Not all wildlife is scary though, for example, let's talk about a Zebra Dove that just wants hugs.

Operation: Turkey Rescue! & Even Turkeys Need Hugs

Just because they're turkeys, doesn't mean it's okay to be cruel to them. The Toronto Wildlife Centre came across a turkey that had been found with an arrow stuck through its body and the arrow had been there for a while. After successful surgery to remove the arrow, the turkey recovered and was released back into the wild. Then, it's a very important question that we know has been on your mind for a long time: Can turkeys cuddle? It might sound like a silly question at first, but it's something Jeremy Hess was genuinely curious about. He spent some time on a turkey farm where the birds get to live full happy lives and ended bonding with a few. View Now
Adorable Fox Needs Rescuing & Fisherman Catches A Bird

Adorable Fox Needs Rescuing & Fisherman Catches A Bird

Our man Simon, from Wildlife Aid, got a call about an adorable fox cub that found itself trapped in a ditch, unable to climb out. So, Simon set out to rescue the little guy, and he wasn't very intimidated by the cub's attempts to look scary. If anything, it only looked more adorable. Later, Simon found its home and returned the cub to his family. We think the falcon featured in our next video was a little confused. Fisherman Steven Kambouris found the falcon flopping around in the water and figured it wasn't because the bird was going for a swim. Steven scooped the falcon up in his net and brought the damp bird over to the shore. View Now

A sparrowhawk became trapped inside a warehouse, and it wouldn't leave willingly. So, how do you catch a bird when it can fly over your head? With a giant net, of course! Once the bird was caught and deemed healthy, they let it go outside. via Wildlife Aid View Now
