DENVER (KDVR) — A finch bird was rescued after she was seen stuck, hanging from her nest above a business in Boulder on Friday morning.

According to Boulder Police Department, Animal Protection Officer Carbone was the first to arrive on the scene but couldn’t reach the bird, so she called the fire department for help.

Station 5 of the Boulder Fire Department arrived on the scene but needed a ladder truck, so Station 6 also responded.

When the ladder truck arrived, BPD said they discovered that the bird’s legs were tangled in pieces of tarp that she used to build her nest.
