A pigeon was rescued from a tree by firefighters after its leg became trapped.
The bird was reported as being in distress to the RSPCA, which called the fire service to help release the injured animal at about 6.40pm yesterday (FRI).
A crew from the city's Eastern fire station used a 9ft ladder to get close to the pigeon and managed to free its trapped leg before handing it to RSPCA officers who took it away to be treated.
The incident happened at the Walkers Midshire Food factory, in Cobden Street, Leicester.
