Group of friends rescue stricken bird on beach

Footage of a group of friends rescuing a stricken bird on a beach in Florida, USA.

The video, filmed in February, shows the bird trying to fly away but it can't because it's hooked to nearby a dead bird by a fishing hook.

Fortunately, the group soon manage to free the animal and it flies away.
