Caring Kilwinning kids help to protect wounded bird
A GROUP of kind-hearted kids from Kilwinning spent hours looking after an injured bird.
The youngsters were cycling around Highfield Street when they came across the injured bird. The clever kids told an adult, then got the bird into a bucket while awaiting the SSPCA.
A resident told the Herald that as the SSPCA officers were busy they had to wait a while so the kids looked after the bird for around five hours.
The SSPCA officer then checked her over the wounded bird, which she confirmed was a female, with an injured wing. The youngsters were thanked by the SSPCA officer and they decided to name the bird Crawford.
