Firefighters rescue bird from tree
Posted on: Friday, 19 June 2009, 13:36 CDT
Australian firefighters and a tree trimmer executed a two-hour rescue in an unusual situation -- a bird was stuck in a tree.
Firefighters said they were called to the scene Thursday after the peacock was spotted dangling upside down 65 feet up in a tree near the Kennedy Highway in Koah, Queensland, the Courier Mail reported Friday.
The rescuers said the bird was brought back to the ground at about 9 p.m.
Peacocks are not known as strong fliers but do roost in trees.
