An injured bird chick was rescued and nursed back to health by a Good Samaritan.

The juvenile Java Finch fell from an empty nest on a tree branch and was crying among the plants below when passerby Panpan spotted it in Bangkok, Thailand, on April 21.

Footage shows the chick in the nest after Panpan pushes it back to its home. For the second time, it plunged into the thick grass below and was scared as a large frog was hopping nearby, so Panpan picked it up.

Panpan tried to return it to the nest, but she said the mother seemed to ignore the little one she had just saved.

She said: 'While I was about to enter the restroom at a gas station, I heard a strange bird call. I saw a baby bird on the grass in the garden next to the bathroom.

'I saw a frog snapping at it, trying to eat it. I managed to push through the leaves just in time, and the frog got scared and let go.

'I rescued the baby bird and climbed up to return it to the nest. I observed the mother bird returning to feed the other babies, but she ignored this one.'

Panpan added that the baby bird made another attempt to fly but fell down to the tree's base again.

She said: 'It did not seem strong enough to fly, and the mother would not feed it. Given the situation, the baby bird seemed unlikely to survive, so I decided to take it home. I provided it with food and medicine.'

Panpan took the little bird home where she has been taking care of it.

Java finches are small, striking birds native to the Indonesian islands of Java, Bali, and Bawean. They can be found in Thailand, where they established small feral populations after escaping captivity. These populations can sometimes be seen in urban parks and green spaces.
