In the video, it shows that the lovable animal even lies down to take a closer look at the smaller creature next to it. The gorilla seems to make repeated efforts to care for the bird so it can fly, in a moving exchange that lasts just over a minute.

The scene took place in New South Wales on 10 November. A witness says in the footage, in English, that the bird is injured. In a conversation between people watching, a group explains: “He is so kind to this. It looks like he’s trying to get him to go … As if to say ‘fly away’. ”

The group speculates that the bird may have been stunned, but appears to conclude that it is indeed injured. In the images, the bird can be seen standing and starting to flap its wings. The gorilla catches it after a few moments examining the animal closely on the ground.

The primate then begins to gently push the bird forward – in a remarkably human attempt to get the animal off the ground. However, after spending a minute taking care of the bird and appearing to put his mouth close to it, the gorilla gives up on the attempt and runs away.

The bird remains on the ground and it is not clear what happened to it. A witness who filmed the scene on November 10 said: “It was amazing that such a big animal could be so kind. He approached the bird and tried very gently to make it fly away. ”

It is not known how the bird was injured, but it is believed that it flew into the glass surrounding the enclosure and fell out. It is not yet known at which zoo the footage was shot.
