Footage from Parramatta, Australia, shows a worker from an energy company use a crane to reach the bird.

Filmer Bridey Hudson said: "Australian white ibis (bin chicken) had fishing line caught around its foot and got hung up in a palm tree.

The tree was close to a powerline so I had to call the energy company to get the bird." Once the bird was untangled, it was placed into a cage and later released.

This footage was filmed in October 2017.
