We all know crows are clever, but sometimes they can be too smart for their own good.
Recently, a curious juvenile crow found itself trapped under some netting in a B&Q Warehouse building in East Yorkshire, but a quick call to the RSPCA helped free the beleaguered bird.
“This morning’s rescue.. a crafty crow had managed to get into B&Q’s netting and couldn’t find its way out!” RSPCA animal rescue officer Hannah Williams explained in a social media post.
But animal welfare officers couldn’t do it alone. Humberside Fire and Rescue also pitched in with the effort to free the bird.
This morning’s rescue.. a crafty crow had managed to get into B&Q’s netting and couldn’t find its way out! Massive thanks to @HumbersideFire who removed a large part of the netting in hopes the little guy can return to its parents who have been waiting patiently! 🤞🏼 pic.twitter.com/Ji4ecXyeEX

It also happened to be the hottest day of the year as the bird sweltered in the mid-July sun.
“Massive thanks to @HumbersideFire who removed a large part of the netting in hopes the little guy can return to its parents who have been waiting patiently!” Williams posted on Twitter.
After firefighters cut a big hole in the net, RSPCA said “mr. crow” escaped unharmed.
