Man uses iPhone to revive bird

It’s hard to imagine a time before cell phones. The phones and our own apps are capable of doing just about anything. Even saving lives across species. They are truly powerful devices.

United kingdom tree surgeon Leon Timms found a tiny chaffinch lying on a lawn. It is thought that the particular bird flew in the solar panels on Timms’ roof or hit among his windows. The particular bird was dazed together trouble breathing. Consequently Leon brought it into his home as well as started to stroke your bird, hoping to restart it. Luckily he’d his smartphone using him.

It could be chance, but that would seem unlikely. At least one chicken owes it’s life to this application now.

“I brought the chaffinch inside and started stroking him on my lap, and then I came up with the idea of playing it the sound of another chaffinch on my mobile phone app. I popped the app on and almost immediately the bird’s eyes opened and he seemed to become more alert … It definitely responded to the sound of another chaffinch.”
