Melbourne Stars fielder Rob Quiney immediately signalled that he feared the worst for the stricken bird as it lay motionless on the ground, before he delicately carried it over the boundary rope and placed it back on the turf.

Not only was the bird back on its feet, but it also had Quiney in his sights.
The bird didn't seem to realise that Quiney was the man who had tried to help him and at one stage swooped the Stars man as he attempted to field a ball near the rope."
