00:00Holy crap.

00:02This guy I'm dating found a baby bird and he didn't know what to do.

00:04I have not showered in a long time.

00:06But I'm rushing over there.

00:08I am not an expert, but working at the dodo, my friends sometimes call me to help with animals.

00:13He's on a work call, but it's totally fine and super appropriate to open all of your

00:18day's chores for a bird rescue.

00:20This is not right.

00:22Maybe we don't show him this part.

00:38City Wildlife in D.C. gave me some great tips.

00:41You really shouldn't touch a baby bird unless they're really in trouble.

00:44But this guy doesn't have feathers, can't fly, so he'll probably die if we don't help him.

00:50We're trying to warm up the baby so he can be reunited with mom.

00:57I don't know if this will work.

00:59I've never done this before.

01:02Oh my god.

01:09Come on, come on, you can do it.

01:11Find the sock.

01:13Where it smells.

01:16I'm trying to get closer to it.

01:46I'm just creeping around this guy's bird.

01:57I hope he's doing this.

01:59Shoot it to me.

02:06Hi.

02:07Oh, hi.

02:08How's it going?

02:09Um, you know, not terrible.

02:11Can we get a flashlight?

02:12Flashlight?

02:13I'm so sweaty.

02:15I'm so disgusted right now.

02:16Come here, buddy.

02:17Let's look at him.

02:19He's really wet.

02:21Oh my god, look at his little eyes.

02:24He's so cute.

02:26Okay.

02:28Like through here?

02:29Mm-hmm.

02:31Okay, buddy.

02:34Okay.

02:35Do you want me to stop?

02:36I don't think that's very far.

02:37Yeah.

02:39Okay.

02:40Sorry.

02:41Here we go.

02:42He's kind of upside down.

02:43I wonder if I should turn him back.

02:46There you go.

02:48The key is just that the mom comes back in the next few hours.

02:51The rescue said if he's in the same position tomorrow, then bring him in.
