A plucky pheasant who was hit by
a car before getting wedged in the front bumper grille survived a 25-mile
journey - and is now back in the wild roaming the countryside!
RSPCA animal collection officer
(ACO) Helen Martindale was called to a home in the Tang Hall area of York on
Saturday (23 June) after a man discovered a pheasant stuck in the front grille
of his car.
ACO Martindale said:
"The motorist discovered the
bird when he returned home from a short drive.
"He thinks he hit the bird
whilst on the motorway but was unable to stop at the time.
"When he returned home and
checked his vehicle he found the bird stuck in the car grille but miraculously
still alive!
"I went along and was able
to carefully remove the bird from the front bumper of the car and, amazingly,
she didn't seem to be injured."
