Wild Bird Fund(@wildbirdfund):FDNY to the rescue! A dramatic scene in lower Manhattan yesterday when firefighters responded to a request to help a pigeon tangled in wire and hanging from a tree. The pigeon, now named Firefighter, is safely in care. He has a leg injury, among others, but we’ll do all we can to help him heal. Thanks to everyone from the Facebook group who jumped in to help, to Casey who kept this poor pigeon safe overnight and brought him to the clinic this morning, and especially to @FDNY Engine 9, Ladder 6! 🏆 New Yorkers. We love our pigeons!💕 🎥: Casey Wong, Miriam Abrahams
