The poor animal got stuck at the roofing of the shoppingcentre.

Animal rescue couldn't save the bird and called for help from the local fire departement at Leidschendam-Voorburg (The Netherlands). They came to the rescue with a mobile platform.

The mobile platform made the rescue quite easy. The Ring-necked parakeet was transferred into the care of the animal rescue team. They checked it on possible injuries and will take it in for a few days of observation.
