A seemingly injured pigeon could have easily been smushed under the tires of vehicles traveling along New Upper Changi Road if not for a good samaritan that helped to rescue the poor bird.

The incident itself took place last month, but the dashcam clip was shared today on the Singapore Reckless Drivers Facebook page. A woman was caught dashing across the road near Bedok Town Centre, rushing to grab a stranded pigeon struggling to fly away. She had some trouble in catching the bird, so motorists stopped momentarily to let her save it. With the bird in hand, she dashed away to safety. Pretty wholesome.

But when and how do you save injured birds? According to the Bird Alert & Rescue Singapore Helpline, there are certain conditions to take note of before picking up wild birds.
