Nelson Wilson was about to feed his horses on New Year’s morning when he noticed a “lonely bird on the steel fence near the water tank”. The poor bird was stuck to the fence and couldn’t move.

The tank is heated to prevent it from freezing. It is not uncommon for birds to drink from a hot tank. This unfortunate bird clearly had wet feet and when it came out it was freezing in a fence in Idaho in near-zero temperatures, ”Wilson explains on YouTube. The kind-hearted farmer approached the bird to save it.

“First I tried to warm the frightened bird’s feet by pressing my palms to both the fence and the birds’ feet while gently tying the weak bird’s wings. Then it seemed like the feet were warming of birds lead to faster success with my warm breath. The gentle sideways movement of my thumb brought freedom to the frightened bird and a smile of satisfaction on my face … a joyful way to start a new year. ”
