This Guy Is Either Boxing Or Saving Animals

The Dodo

This guy isn't afraid of the wrath of a mama goose... he faces bigger opponents in the boxing ring! We spoke with Mike about his work and the time he crawled through a sewer to rescue baby ducklings ❤️

00:00These geese had been stuck up on a balcony for about a week or so.

00:05That whole place used to just be trees.

00:07They just nested in their regular spot.

00:09They're not meant for our human world.

00:11I knew there was water nearby, so we just got to get them over there.

00:15These guys have been out here for a minute.

00:18Alright, come this way.

00:21There we go.

00:23We're just trying to give them that little boost up.

00:25Little birdies.

00:30I've transported a couple babies like that with their parents, and they usually fly.

00:37Those were the first ones that ever walked.

00:40They didn't let me out of their sight.

00:49There we go.

00:51I'm pretty sure they said thank you, and they went on their merry way.

00:54Bye-bye, little guys.

00:56My name is Mike Scholz.

00:58I do a lot of different type of rescue work.

01:00I'm in Charlotte, North Carolina.

01:01I like to help the helpless.

01:06When a wild animal is stuck in a human-made thing, I can't help but want to help.

01:12I think you got dislocated shoulder, buddy.

01:14I know.

01:15You're going to have to come to the rescue.

01:17Sorry.

01:18I don't know what your insurance looks like.

01:20Okay, big whoop.

01:21You saved a bird's life.

01:24It doesn't matter to you, but it really matters to that bird.

01:29I recently got into boxing for my health.

01:32It got me in a lot of shape.

01:34I ended up losing 110 pounds.

01:36A lot of people, they're like, weren't you scared when that goose was coming at you?

01:41Hey.

01:42I get punched in the face by full-grown men for fun.

01:45At the end of the day, what's a 25-pound goose going to do to me?

01:48You guys here to help?

01:49All right.

01:50I know you like to hiss.

01:51Since I'm in such healthy shape, I'm actually able to go out and do different rescues.

01:55Like, when I crawl through a sewer, one, I'm a lot narrower, but was a baby and was stuck

02:01in the sewer.

02:03Hey.

02:04Yes, sir.

02:05We're here getting the ducks out of the sewer.

02:07I'm just going to jump down and crawl through.

02:13Hang on.

02:19Good.

02:21All my phobias are coming together here.

02:23Spiders, claustrophobia.

02:26What are you doing?

02:30Yeah, I don't think so.

02:32You can't grab him.

02:33I don't want to go chasing to the next one.

02:34Oh, he's back to you.

02:37Oh, yeah.

02:38Pick him up and plop him in.

02:44Carolina Waterfowl Rescue does not a bit would be possible without them.

02:48We're just trying to give them that little boost to get somewhere safe.

02:52They just got caught up in our human world, you know.

03:02You want me to come down there?

03:06I got it.

03:07I got it.

03:08You've done this before.

03:09Oh, yeah.

03:12Thank God there are people like you.

03:14When I was in that swimming pool, I'm going to tell you right now,

03:17that was the most fun I had in my entire life.

03:19I saw you looking over there and I saw I did the head count real quick.

03:24Man, I didn't know they could swim so well.

03:27Look at those things go.
