Driver performs CPR on a stunned sparrow and seems to bring it back from the dead.
The tiny bird had collided with the windscreen of the car and fallen by the roadside in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province, China, when it was found by the driver and his nurse wife.
Video footage of the amazing rescue shows the driver – named in local media only as Mr Wu – cradling the bird in one hand while he gently massages its chest with his thumbs.
As his partner guides him. he rocks the sparrow from side to side and spreads out its wings in what seems to be an attempt to get it to breathe.
Astonishingly, the bird’s eyes begin to flicker and it turns its head.
The woman can be heard saying: “Is it moving?”.
Then when they realise that the bird is moving, the man proclaims: “It’s a miracle”.
Eventually, he opened the window and the sparrow when felt the fresh air jumped from his hand and flew off.
