Man Revives Bird With iPhone App!

[Maura]

A really sweet (or should that be tweet?!) story on TUAW today about a man who used his iPhone to revive a stunned bird. According to TUAW, British tree surgeon Leon Timms was at his home and saw a chaffinch lying stunned on the ground, having either flown into a window or a solar panel on his roof. The bird was dazed and was having trouble breathing, so Timms had the brainwave of using a bird song app on his iPhone to revive the stricken bird. “I brought the chaffinch inside and started stroking him on my lap,” said Timms to Metro, “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.”

Altogether now, aaah!
