- 4 years ago
This was the moment an exhausted bird was given some water to rehydrate after temperatures soared in Georgia, USA on July 14.
Footage shows the indigo bunting interacting with a caring father who offered some water for the heat exhausted creature.
Local weather reports suggest that temperatures reached a height of 93 degrees Fahrenheit (34C).
The filmer, named Cristian, told Newsflare: "My parents and I were house hunting in the summer where the temperatures were nearly triple digits and the humidity at nearly 60%.
"Upon leaving the neighborhood, my father saw an indigo bunting that was sitting in front of an incomplete house.
"It was barely moving, and when it would stumble and seem like it was going to trip.
"My father grew up around animals from a very young age, so he was familiar with the situation.
"He had a water bottle and poured some into the cap, and held it steady in front of the bird.
"It slowly drank and eventually was able to hop away."
