VIJAYAWADA, India, June 3 (UPI) -- A sparrow in India was caught on camera appearing to give CPR to a distressed cohort and the brave bird was successful in reviving the seemingly deceased avian.

The video, recorded May 24 in Vijayawada, shows a sparrow standing over a second sparrow that appears to be dead or unconscious on a business' front stoop.


The panicked sparrow gives the unconscious bird what appears to be the avian version of CPR, complete with chest compressions and beak-to-beak resuscitation.

The seemingly departed sparrow then wakes up, revealing it is still alive, and flies away with its rescuer.
