June 12 (UPI) -- Firefighters in California conducted an unusual rescue when a crow spotted struggling high up in a tree turned out to be entangled in sewing thread.
The Orange County Fire Authority said Truck 56 responded to a report of a bird in distress near the top of a Ladera Ranch tree on Tuesday.
Firefighters ascended the ladder and discovered the distressed crow was entangled in sewing thread.
The Fire Authority shared a video of the rescue on social media.
"We can't translate what the crow is saying, but we do know the kids' cheers mean they are happy the firefighters on Truck 56, located in @RanchoMissionV, rescued a crow that was entangled in sewing thread in a tree in Ladera Ranch today," officials wrote.

The mix could have been a little less guitar and a little more voice. To me the words of a song, any song, not just this one, are the best part.............
We’re teetering on the brink of nuclear war and this is news? VDH says that great civilizations perish because they don’t believe they ever will.
I’ve always heard that Crows are very bright, and have a tight memory of people or certain features of that person in that location.
So the next day that crow sees a fire truck he will swoop down to see his friends and get flattened on the road.
Not so long ago a crow outside was a harbinger of death.
Crows have long been associated, for instance, with mystery and magic. While many believe that seeing a crow is a harbinger of death, others say the presence of a dead crow means the end of bad things and the beginning of all things new and good.
Coming next from the California legislature: Sewing thread banned.
I fed a crow each morning for several months. Then we sold our old acreage and moved about 20 miles into small neighborhood in town. Took the crow about a week to find me. I figured he must have recognized the car in the driveway. He got 1/2 piece of bread with tuna for his expertise.
You’re not the only one!
Tree grew real fast? Cowapult?
In The Godfather, a crow calls out right before Carlo meets the piano wire.
You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains...
And you will find a fortune, though it will not be the fortune you seek...But first, first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril, uh-huh, and pregnant with adventure. You shall see things wonderful to tell. You shall see a cow on the roof of a cottonhouse, uh-huh, and oh, so many startlements... I cannot say how long this road shall be. But fear not the obstacles in your path, for Fate has vouchsafed your reward. And though the road may wind, and yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye foller the way...
It was amazing that instead of flying up and away, the crow swooped down over the lawns of the people nearby, maybe of those children cheering its release.
What a cool story!
EXPLAIN, PLEASE
Thanks!
One of my top ten all-time favorite movies!
Some things are beyond explanation.
I miss the old South so much. Driving in south Georgia with the red clay off the side of the roads, gray cabins and shacks, iron pot in the front yard, canyons, rivers and streams, buzzing heat...
