Trapped Seagull Hanging By Neck Saved in Daring Bucket Truck Rescue [Video]

While it’s unclear how this seagull managed to get its head caught in a braided power line over the streets of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, the bird was certainly in a tight spot.  Luckily for the seagull, Nova Scotia Power lineman Yvon Blin became its knight in shining bucket truck. Upon arriving on the scene, Blin swiftly freed the trapped gull, pausing only to take a photo. And in case you were concerned, the videographer of the event writes that the bird was safely released once Blin returned to ground level.
