Houdini starling saved from a rooftop
Animals get stuck in the strangest places and we are often left wondering how the situation even came to be in the first place!

Simon was recently called out to rescue a starling that had become stuck inside some roof protection. There seemed to be no easy way in or out and the team were left scratching their heads as to how it had got there to begin with. Simon is not too fond of heights, so cameraman, Lawrie, headed up the ladder to investigate.

The bird had become stuck in a large space between the roof and a protective panel and there seemed to be no way to reach in and grab it. Using mole grips, Lawrie began to break off small pieces of the protective cover and when a sizeable hole was reached, we stepped back hoping that the bird would free itself.

After a tense wait a small head emerged and after a few seconds launched itself from its prison and away to freedom!

The son wrote, “I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to give this beautiful baby girl the life she’s always deserved.”
CGI Is Saving Animal Lives
Meet Bertie the elephant. She is the star of University of Hertfordshire students Zak Boxall and Chris Turner’s final-year project, and she was made using computer-generated imagery (CGI).
The students say that they aimed to capture “the beauty and innocence of a living elephant” without using a real elephant. And they have done just that.
We’re sending them PETA’s Innovation in Film Award for helping to prove that the use of abused captive animals on screen is obsolete.
