PLEASANTON, Calif. (KGO) -- Talk about a sticky situation!
A wild bird found stuck in a glue trap had to be rescued over the weekend.
Pleasanton Police Officer Hendrickson and Animal Service Officer Ayers helped pry the bird from the trap.
According to the tweet from the Pleasanton Police Department it took a lot of patience and a lot of olive oil, but eventually that patience paid off and the bird was freed.
While the bird lost a lot of feathers, we're told it is going to be just fine.
And it's a good reminder that glue traps should not be used outside and check with your local authorities. They are banned in some areas.
