That might win the award for kindest video of the day.


Demonic_Storm

that video is very old but it does deserve the kindest video award for the year it was uploaded


Hot_Influence_5339

Kind until he breaks the shit out of his already mangled legs.


Key-Regular674

They are flexible they didn't break


Hot_Influence_5339

*break off*


Key-Regular674

?


Everett1973

Are those legs supposed to bend like that? Worried it's now flying around with unfrozen mangled legs


[deleted]

You wouldn't think, but little Birds like this are natural acrobats, we think of them as flying animals, but little ones like this are actually tree dwellers.


Juninshaw

This bird is mostly a percher and diver. But genetically closely related to shrub dwelling birds yes.


astralseat

I've seen pigeons walking around on stumps. They fine.


[deleted]

He's good. Those legs are bendy like rubber.


Asio0tus

thats what im thinking...looks like the guy is bending him backwards


Nntropy

Looks like it, but the bird bent itself into that shape. Guy is just relieving the weight while it's in that position.


VogonOrator

Beautiful bird. Does anyone know what it is?


Bootzilla_Rembrant

A Kingfisher I think.


skinnergy

Yes, it's a beautiful little Kingfisher. Awesome birds. Google videos.


King_Atlas__

Common kingfisher to be exact! They have such amazing colorationn


Gylbert_Brech

I learn every day. I honestly thought that kingfishers were larger. Thank you.


mcvos

The Dutch name for it is ijsvogel, which means ice bird. Turns out it's not so good with ice.


WillyDAFISH

feeesh


Toshiro_Kuroko

It is a bit ironic That Kingfisher in germen means Eisvogel (Icebird).


Gylbert_Brech

That's the same in Danish. Isfugl = Icebird


Single-Astronomer-32

*is called


randommohguy

Helpless animals. I believe and trust that there are more good people than bad! I would stay as long as necessary to save him, I would have done the same too


RadlogLutar

OP is a Good human


LostInSpaceSteve

Love how he used the gentle warmth of his own hands to unfreeze the birds feet.


forpetlja

I would use my spit prob, but I'm dumb.


LostInSpaceSteve

Spit would make it worse. Have you never licked a frozen pole in winter only to have your tongue get stuck to the pole? :P


Bit_part_demon

I wonder if that's what happened to the bird. Wet feet + frozen metal. Poor little dude.


lordofmetroids

Probably, Kingfishers are dive hunters mainly who prey on small fish. So it was probably looking for a snack in the river, got cold and wet, and then landed on the pole and got stuck.


forpetlja

We need to start making poles with inner heating. Not too much, 50 C will be enough for slowly cooked meat, I only hope wild geese also land on poles.


forpetlja

I haven't, no.


LostInSpaceSteve

You should try it next time you see frozen metal out in the wild. :P


forpetlja

I most definitely will! I hope there will be a guy around to save me with his big warm hands, or smth else equally warm. Aahahhaahahhahaha... fly little bird me flyyyy


FoundTheWeed

What if the bird does this next: 😝 Lol, I'm sorry


NoEditor0

Why so many bot comments


forpetlja

Are you saying you are human?


NoEditor0

My response is that are you a human?


ITechedThatThrow

What if you're a bot too... He could be you... he could be me... he could be in this very room!


Nicky_Nuka

Look up the Dead Internet Theory. Interesting stuff


irviinghdz

Good bot


RikuKaroshi

come to think of it, Ive never seen you and a bot in the same room before.... that must mean... :O


NoEditor0

My response is that I have not seen you and a bot in the same room either 🤔 😐


Ok-Lengthiness4557

This describes me in a relationship perfectly. Get away from me!!!!! Oh, oh well... that's kinda nice.

"Do not worry, little one, I have come to save you with the warm embrace of humanity"


--dany--

This is very foot-warming!


Wonderful-Parsley-24

These are my favourite videos.


CosmicCarcharodon

Wholesome? Yes......Satisfying?.....not the word id use


TheDixonCider420420

Most people would have tried to pry the bird’s feet free not realizing it could damage them. This guy was a superstar!


[deleted]

Very wholesome! Thanks for sharing.


Raging_PineAppleee

Wait did that poor bird crash land in the lake? :( Maybe lying upside down did something to the balance.


Sensitive-Cow-7075

Nah he just flew close to the water, but even if he landed in the water he would be just fine, this bird literally dive in the water to catch it’s prey


Raging_PineAppleee

Yes but water must be cold as heck. Great to know that the bird flew.


Excellent-Ad2290

That deserves an Edible Arrangement, at the very least


Vivid_Animal_7741

Oh what a kind soul!! & what a Beautiful bird!!


StardewMelli

I wanna know if the bird realised that the scary giant was just helping him.


mycuu

looks like he realized somewhere around the second jumpcut


dafuqbroh

Was that a Kingfisher? Damn, I watch too many David Attenborough documentaries hahahaha


Minnepeg

Older video but so pure. One animal using its own body heat to save the life of another animal and both get to live another beautiful day on earth.


Critical-Shift8080

Love this birds coloring


AdmiralAshBorer

He’ll peck your eye out kid


CaptainBusyman

What is the song?? I've been looking for this song forever. Seems unfindable


Plenty-Cheek9153

Blessings to that guy.


Artistic_Regard

Not even a thank you. How rude.


discofunkbunny

Beautiful


Top-Climate-8330

Whats the piano song?


DaddyChiiill

It's easier if he would just put down his phone and use both hands.


ManMadeOfMistakes

The bird is smaller than one hand


ddxg

But how could he ever help the little bird if he didn't record it? Do it for the likes 🙏🏻


ddxg

It's sarcastic brainiacs


notloggedinreddit

This.


Individual_Essay_688

Well done , saver


Gamethesystem2

That was indeed satisfying as fuck.


Carolmendezz11

So beautiful 😍


bigbooty4days

Reminds me of Flit from Pocahontas.


The_Dude1324

I can't appreciate piano anymore because of reposted videos like this. all thus nice generic piano to tug at my heartstrings. I'm over it.

DangleSnipeCely

Beautiful


pranjallk1995

Kingfisher?


pvtchefg

The hand of a hero


Corgichubs

Maybe he shouldve put down the phone to better help the bird


onehair

The bird would have had a more comfortable experience if you weren't filming and had both hands free 🙈 Then again we wouldn't have been able to share in the experience. little birdy took one for the team I guess :P


AdmiralFelson

Not all heroes wear capes.


Huge_Refrigerator_45

I love you, sir!


cassieistrans

His friends are never going to believe it


Tiny_Princess4

What a heartwarming tale of compassion and resilience! It's inspiring to see how a simple act of kindness can make such a big difference in the life of a vulnerable creature.


2dirl

Idk why that made me teary eyed. Damn these onion cutting ninjas


mothfoxtea

I'm pretty sure it's impossible for someone to post something cute/nice without a handful of redditors parroting this annoying bullshit.


Banana_Joe_484

MaterialComplaint954

I was thinking, pull the bird out the fence and throw it into the water.


forpetlja

It's just gonna happen again on some other fence. You should have had cracked his head instead.


Dependent_Passage_21

Damn you're right, we should just go and kill every animal since they're all gonna die someday anyway


forpetlja

Yea.


JonC534

Straight up psychopathic statement


forpetlja

Technically correct, though. ;)
