A healthcare worker in her 40s, who witnessed the incident while at work, shared with MS News<\/em> that the bird appeared \u201cterrified\u201d and \u201chit itself multiple times\u201d.<\/p>\n Staff and bystanders later secured the bird, and the healthcare worker took on the role of foster carer.<\/p>\n The bird\u2019s foot was bleeding slightly when it was found, but the bleeding stopped on its own.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I saw the bird\u2019s injured foot, I thought: \u2018Oh poor thing. What have you gone through?’\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Since then, she has been caring for the bird, naming it \u201cGrapefruit\u201d because of its orange-and-yellow colouring and her love for the fruit.<\/p>\n Image courtesy of Grapefruit\u2019s foster mother<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to foster it until the real owner appears,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The foster carer has been providing the bird with millet, food, and water, and noted that it seems to be responding well to the care.<\/p>\n Drawing on her prior experience with parrots, she identified the bird as a lovebird.<\/p>\n \n\t\tBird named \u2018Grapefruit\u2019 by foster mum<\/h3>\n
