An RSPCA rescue involving two birds that got stuck inside a large pipe in Nottingham has been hailed as one of the 'top rescues in the Midlands' by staff in 2022. Workers were alerted to their plight after hearing them making noise inside the piping system in Nottingham.
The incident has become part of the RSPCAs "top rescues in the Midlands for last year." In 2022, the charity’s officers were called to thousands of incidents, including many in which birds, wildlife, pets and farm animals have found themselves in a difficult situation.
Inspector Keith Ellis went to the Pigeons' rescue on August 22 and found where the birds had got in, followed the pipe and located them around 12ft inside. They’d gone through three turns before getting stuck.
