Trapped robin lands on rescuers HEAD!

- Rescuing animals on the move can be very difficult - especially when you are trying to find two tiny birds in a large office building!
A local business asked for our help recently when two adult robins became trapped in their office roof. The birds had been spotted above the roofing panels and kept flying into the room through a hole in the ceiling. They did not seem to be able to escape and so, nets in hand, Simon and helpers Mike, Naomi and artist Richard Symonds set off to rescue them.
Once the first robin was spotted, it was quickly diverted into a smaller room for an easier rescue. The second, however, was a little harder to find!

What is beyond me, is you actually get people who dislike this. You guys are awesome - What an incredible job you do. Thank you for being so kind to animals of all sorts.
Landing on his head was hilarious. I didn't know European robins looked so different from American robins.
european robins are adorable, i love them.
American Robins were given that common name because they have a red breast like European Robins. But actually, American Robins are a type of thrush.
Amy Dufresne yeah our robins are much bigger and chubbier. I always questioned why they look so different from European robins
American robbins technaly are not robbins :)
@@terminalfrost3645 The European robins are also very aggressive towards other birds, especially other robins. European robins will also kill rival robins over territory.
Robins are instinctively are drawn to humans and will always attempt to form a relationship with humans so that they can elicit free food. Scientists believe that robins co-habited with humans as far back as caveman days and have evolved so that we find them cute and appealing. In this way they gain the protection of an apex predator that doesn't see them as prey and can be manipulated to provide food and protection. It seems to have worked as they feature on 99% of European Christmas cards. Robins are always tame around humans.
Robins will always attempt to nest as close as possible (or even inside) human habitation.
I've once woken up to find a robin pipping at me, sat on top of my bedside clock radio demanding to be fed. He'd come into the kitchen and then flown around the house looking for somebody to feed him. Of course he was fed. Robins have total mind control over humans.
Thank you so much for what you do, but also for these videos! At the park recently I found a tiny lost gosling all alone and being harassed by a crow, and having watched your videos definitely gave me a lot more confidence to help!
I scooped it up into my scarf (all I had), gently wrapped it, and held it to my chest. I looked around a while with no luck and was getting ready to take it to a wildlife rehab (we have a few, but they don't do rescues) when someone told me she'd seen a canada goose family earlier that day. She helped me look, and eventually we found them! 6-7 adults on a grassy bank with about 12 babies! I eased up as close as they seemed comfortable with, set my gosling down...and it scampered off to rejoin its family! What an incredible feeling! I cried (obviously).
So I think that little gosling thanks you too! ;)
Hat Fantastic story! Well done for helping that little one get back to its family. That's amazing :)
They're so small and cute. Very determined to not get caught by the humans😂😂
But if you work in the garden they'd often approach you to see if they can catch an odd worm or two!😂❤
1:08 when it lands on his head😂😂😂
the bird is like: stay back! i have hostage! i will poop on him i swear i'll do it!
what a cheeky little robin XD
ghost XD
AND when Simon swings the net down over the guys head, but the bird still evades it.
That's some Looney Tunes quality right there! :D
i just noticed this but the robins cheekiness continues. on 1:15 robin lands on the cameraman head and on 1:18 he lands on the chair next to Simon. he is full on taunting them! that's not a robin that's mocking bird! XD
No kidding! XD
Simon talking to animals is always a highlight of the videos ~ only bested by a successful catch & release! ^_^
Aw! They are so cute, great work guys! I think the man who caught the second robin is a ninja with those moves
I love these videos just because of the way Simon talks to the animals. Badge Wadge and Foxy Roxy and Tweep! Simon is just so adorable because it is obvious how much he loves the animals. Well done, Simon! Well done! (And Lawrie is a cutie too!)
I love this one x We had two Robins at our Pets at Home who would wait by the electric door for people so they could go in and out when they wanted they're very clever birds.
Did they come in to try and get some bird food lol?
I've started feeding pigeons in my local city centre. One time a pigeon saw me going into Poundland to buy some bird seed and it followed me in. I had to help the security man escort the bird out lol. Fortunately he cooperated when he saw me coming out with the seed for him and his friends lol. They are clever things birds. 😊✌
@@liliaaaaaaaa yes they were after the seed and your story is funny 😂
Love When the Robin lands on his head
the fact that he put the net on the guys head 😂 two robins a lot of mischief!
I've never seen an English robin before, except in colored drawings. You had some really good shots in those exciting chases!
Sophie Robinson Thank you! Glad we could help ;) Our cameraman will be pleased to hear that!
Robins are very common here in England and we see them all the time.
You`ll probably enjoy these short vids of people hand feeding them, Sophie.

Awwwh. Robins are so darling. And a PUPPY! \o/
Dogs rule!
Robins are so cute and smart. I live in a city, and they follow you sometimes by flying a bit ahead and then waiting if you are a source for some food lol. This can go on for quite a while.
I had to watch this again because it was so funny when the bird landed on his head, and then saw that it lands on the cameraman's head too. Silly birdie.
I love Robins, they're my favourite kind of bird. :3 We have a pair in our garden, and I got to see a rare husband-feeding-wife moment!
Thanks Wildlife Aid team 👍
That Robin was Rock'n
the Clock. ✌️😃✌️
a tip in bird navigating: birds don't see well in the dark so just like insects, birds will fly to the light. if you want a bird to fly out of the room to another room or through the window, block all light sources that are not coming from the opening you need the bird to go through.
thanks for resuing my favorite birds.
Sooo cute! I love robins.
U R Great 💚⚘
I love it when Simon says "Our work here is done!"
Such cute little things!
Beautiful 😍 Robin. Great job guys 👍
Lovely work Simon and crew !
They deserve more subs
Paul Jr Thank you!
Wildlife Aid you guys are the best, I wish I can do more to help
Everybody loves Robins.
4:50 Exactly. In the 1990s, I worked for a company with a VERY high ceiling--literally. A small bird (a blue jay?) flew in on the day work was closing shop for the Easter holiday. Everyone would be gone for about a week--and NO ONE wanted to deal with the little bird, who would be trapped in the building, and die of either hunger or thirst.
(The office was used as a location on the first 'BEETHOVEN' movie, about the goofy St. Bernard doggo--which would give you some idea of the scope of the space we were dealing with.)
No one cared, except Yours Truly Unruly. The CEOS gave me permission to close up shop, as they didn't want to stick around and do anything about it. I ended up asking a gent who worked on maintenance for the property. It was WAY past quittin' time, but with his help, we managed to escort the bird out of the building, and into the Great Wide Open.
Could TOTALLY relate to this video.
I love the work you guys do! Your channel has actually inspired me to become a veterinarian! :)
So you said this years ago but how are you advancing on that goal?
Funniest rescue I have ever seen
I thought I was hearing things lol. There was an actual dog in there!
Sam Winchesters Bitch I dunno,, the squirrel letting himself out of the lady's house then running back in for a second before vacating permanently was pretty durn funny too. lol
MystiqueHorizon my favorite is the pigeons that keep getting stuck in the same tree
Sam Winchesters Bitch but the pigeon looses his foot,, 😢
Yay!!! Born Free. As free as the wind blows... la la la la la la... 🤗 🕊
Ok, so I watched a swan rescue and became addicted to these videos and now I’m watching my tenth video!
Aaaaahw they´re so cute. We call them: Rotkehlchen , down here in Germany =D
another good job.
The music made it even goofier 🤣 the silly robin telling the time and landing on the man’s head, I showed it to my brother and mother and they loved it
And the muttley laugh wins the day! What a beautiful little robin
Birds usually travel in pairs. I'm not too sure the other one will be waiting a week for it's partner to turn up though, which is a shame. Hopefully they'll both be able to find a new partner.
1:08 - 1:22 my favourite part of the rescue X'D
From Maryland in the U.S. - very well done!!!
OMG, when he landed on the rescuers head and Simon netted the rescuer that was so funny! I'm still giggling about that.
This was very fun to watch!
I laughed to hard when the guy said, “ He’s telling the time”. 😂
I love your videos
i like robins. they are so cute 🕊
LMAO!!! BEST THING i have seen all day,,when you 'catch' one of the crew members with a net after it landed on his head haha !! I love you guys !
European robins are so tiny! How cute!
It's possible these 2 were a pair looking to make a nest, the male and female look the same. They probably thought they'd be safe inside the council offices to become the new office pets. Hope they found each other again after their release. I've been feeding my local birds recently over the winter months. I went for a walk the other day with some bird food in my pocket. A robin jumped out of a bush to say hi to me as I was walking around. I stopped sat down and put some seeds down for him and he came right up to me and sat next to me to eat only a foot away. I didn't move to just let him be but he sat with me and ate for a while before flying back to his bush. They can be quite bold and friendly and sweet to humans. I've never seen them attacking each other though and hope never to see it. I guess it all depends on territory. 🙏
If this will ever help -
During catching birds in buildings,is good to turn off most of the lights and leave one by wall or window (depending on circumstances)
Birds will always fallow light .
Then "chasing area" is reduced to really small place .
I'm bird breeder ,this always work when I catch birds for sale etc. Quick and easy way to catch bird and reducing the stress.
But never turn off light completely.
This is why I love birds XD
landing on his head was like something out a cartoon lmaoo
Great job guys!
The robins we have in North America would dwarf those dainty little guys! 😍
Happy New Year, Team.
Brilliant work as always, guys ! All these robins, Simon... Are you SURE you're not moonlighting as Batman !
Good job..!
Nice office 👍
holy crap 200k subscribers! i guess people enjoy animals more than watching people. : )
How did two end up there? Maybe they were mates. That's hard work to catch such small birds in a big place but you did it pretty quick. Great work. I always worry a bird being chased they will get heart attacks.
Bom trabalho. Obrigado.
Imagine you're working your office job and a crazy old man with a go-pro on his head starts running around with a net
That was hilarious when they caught the man in the net, and the robin escaped!
Aww THE PUPPY!
EmmaAppleBerry PuPpIeS are stupid
this made me giggle 😄 ...the funny thing is we had a sparrow come in our house earlier...two were fighting and one flew out when it realised it was flying into our landing window but the other flew into my bedroom lol poor thing sat on my slipper confused ...I tried to get up off my bed slowly but it flew into our bathroom... I said to my brother before I went to get up... "there's a bird in my bedroom and I'm not joking...please put Tom away" (Tom being our german shepherd lol) we then had the fun of trying to catch it and release it out the front lol...we shut each door til it was on the landing...I stood on the stairs as my brother ushered it out his room and it flew at me lol ...I ducked and sat on the stairs...next thing I hear my brother saying it was by my foot....I look down and there it was... I covered it over with a tea towel and my brother released it... never had this happen before ...funny that this came up today after our bird adventure 😆
You caught.....a rescuer! Super LOL!
well done. i really enjoyed :) funny when the robin lands on the man head. good camera work & music ! love to our nature :)
Office mascots! XD Wonder if it was the same robin the second time?
This reminded of the old Keystone Cops films.
He was a great guy, but also really funny.
I want to see your australia visit Simon. Outback up north Aus with the nasties. See how you adapt. Robin to King Brown snake or trap door spider.
A footstool on castors on top of a slidy desk. That's dedication 😃
His Disney princess smile at 1:10 when it lands on his head
What a difficult rescue! Tiny bird in a big space, with expensive items all around! I would've been terrified of breaking a computer!
SImon: Hey TWINKLES, look!
Me: 😁😂
Oh gosh, on the heads! Too bad they can't know you're just trying to help them get back out. :')
Dang, those things don't make a sound! One time I had a stunned house finch inside and when he woke up he flipped out, screeching and peeping.
He also bit me.
I love these Robins xD
Love the Robins. Its my name.
That robin is tiny compared ones here in US. LOL
That first Robin must actually be a mockingbird! 😂
He’s much prettier than an American robin!
me and my sis love ur vids!
1:07 Thats brilliant 😂
Hilarious 😂 good job guys x
European Robins are so cute
Robin: What time is it? Time to tip the scales!
I have a tip for you when you hunt birds indoors: turn off all lights. Many have bad nightsight.
Why are so many offices painted in that horrendous shade of green?
What did the robin eat and drink for a week?
At least they aren't swans (๑>◡
Only the council could be totally fine with birds flying around their office for over a week! haha
i love robins they are very friendly birds. may i remind everyone that since we have had little rain it would be a great idea to leave a fresh dish of water out for the birds so that they can get a drink but change it everyday. also do not stop feeding the birds at this time of year because they need a lot of food now to feed their young. I put out fresh mashed boiled egg mixed with plain digestives crushed and tons of meal worms all mixed in together.
Thats some little trolls birds.
4:50 AHA! We have an office feeder around ;-)
You don't need nets. Take a stick long enough to reach corners and gently poke him to keep him flying. Flying slowly takes enormous amounts of energy and he'll tire and land to rest long enough to just pick him up. Works best in a room that isn't big enough for him to fly fast. Flying fast takes very little energy by comparison. Principle of induced drag.
Was this anywhere near Sherwood Forest? Because... Robin Hid.
My guess the little one was eating all the bugs in the ceiling and drinking water from a small leak or something. It's the only way I could imagine it would be in there so long.
At 0:20 a robin tells the time!!
I love Ser good
Dear god those offices look depressing to work in
Robin: Nah nah nah nah! You can't catch me! >D * is caught- Aww! D: xD lol
