I know Lincoln has a lot of bird watchers and bird lovers, but how many would be brave enough to jump into shark infested water to save an injured bird? A guy on a yacht in Maldives saw a tiny, injured Australian Zebra Finch struggling in the water. He also saw the 10 sharks that were circling it. And then he dived in, grabbed the bird. Held it above his head out of the water, and then one armed paddled his way back to the boat. He handed the bird to someone on deck before getting out of the water himself. And it wasn’t like the bird was just off the side of the boat. It was a good 50 yards out. You can see one of the sharks get about 2 feet from him at one point. He almost kicks it in the head. It ended well for everyone. Except maybe the sharks who had to go hungry.
