The video is posted on Reddit with a simple caption that reads, “Water is life”. The clip opens to show the bird lying on the ground, motionless. Within a few seconds, a person starts pouring water from a bottle near the bird’s beak. At first, the creature moves a little. However, after drinking the water, it stands up and continues to drink more to quench its thirst. The video ends with the bird sitting on the person’s palm.

“I did this with a bumblebee I saw twitching on the ground. It was so awesome to see it fly away okay after a couple min of recovery. Happened a few years ago and I’ll never forget it,” posted a Reddit user. “So happy to see it come back alive from the brink of death,” added another.

“Some heroes don’t wear a mask, they bring a water bottle,” joined a third. “Birds and squirrels can find food but a good source of clean water is not always available. Especially in the heat. I make sure to keep the two bird baths full and fresh. Gotta take care of the little guys!” wrote a fourth.
