Many people find it okay to spit their gum out on the ground. They likely don’t consider that the sticky substance can easily become an entanglement for some of nature’s smaller creatures.
One day, a family noticed a beautiful humming bird in their yard. However, when they took a closer look, they realized that the little bird was trapped in a wad of gum, they knew the little guy needed rescuing. The bird was trying hard to flap his wings in attempt to escape the sticky gum, but to no avail.
The little boy and his daddy knelt down to the bird as mom filmed the scene. The process had to start with extricating him from the gum, a feat which was trickier than it sounds. Finally, the dad managed to detach the tiny bird from the gum and pulled it off the ground.
