Family wraps baby bird in tortilla to keep animal warm [Video]

AMARILLO, Texas (Gray News) – A family in Texas got very creative when they rescued a baby bird.

Wild West Wildlife Rehabilitation Center said they got a call on Sunday about an orphaned baby bird.

When they asked the family if they had placed the bird in a box, the family told the rehabilitation center that they had wrapped it in “a warm tortilla.”

The family told a staff member they were outside barbecuing and swimming when they noticed a baby bird on the ground without any parents nearby.

They were concerned about the baby bird getting cold, so they warmed a tortilla up on the grill to wrap the bird in to stay warm.

The rehabilitation center said the inventive method was surprisingly effective.

The baby Mississippi Kite is being cared for at the rehabilitation center.
