It just goes to show the compassion, care and love that other species have that other birds kept this one alive for 2 weeks. It's not a trait confined to humans! Thumbs (or claws/talons/fins) up! Sometimes I think humans are the least humane animals on the planet.

Great story! Doesn't surprise me at all that other birds helped the poor guy, birds are very intelligent and can look after each other.
