A tender video titled "Thank you for your kindness Humans" has taken the internet by storm, showcasing a rescue operation involving an owl trapped in a rather messy situation. This video has sparked a wave of reactions from viewers, ranging from humorous to empathetic.

The incident unfolded when a hapless owl found itself caked in manure, unable to preen itself clean. Commenters couldn't help but draw amusing parallels, with one noting it felt "like the owl equivalent to having a novelty candlestick removed by medical professionals." Another jested, "in other news, owls have stopped preening themselves and are intentionally caking themselves in manure in the hopes of a spa day."

The owl's predicament left many wondering how it even ended up in such a state. One user speculated, "What the hell did it do to the cows that they trapped a BIRD in manure?" Another theorized that the bird might have been seeking a small creature hiding in the manure. The consensus leaned towards the owl possibly having a rough encounter with some cows, leading one viewer to humorously remark, "the cows took revenge."

Thankfully, the SPCA's Wildlife Department came to the owl's rescue. Commenters marveled at the bird's calm demeanor during the cleaning process. One user pointed out, "It couldn't look more like a happy, pampered cat if it tried." Another admired the owl's resilience, saying, "Either so weak it couldn't fight the assistance, or it understood the people were trying to help it. Either way, what a gloriously beautiful raptor."

The video also sparked a wave of comedic responses, with one user quipping, "Sounds like he was having a s***ty time," and another adding, "He got a manure-acure." Despite the jesting, viewers were collectively relieved to see the owl being cared for and eventually recovering. One final comment summed up the sentiment, "Owl still looks a bit testy in both photos, but I'm glad Owl is okay."

This touching story of an owl's rescue underscores the importance of wildlife care and compassion, reminding everyone of the impact of human kindness on our animal friends.

I'm guessing the bird s*** on some cows, so the cows took revenge. However, after they left him for dead, the bird put on his best Arnold Schwarzenegger voice and said, "Owl be back."

I suspect that the owl was after a small creature that went under or into some manure to hide. Or it’s a German owl.
