You don’t exactly have to be sober to still make a difference.
An animal shelter in Ogden, Utah, says its latest baby bird rescue was delivered by an Uber driver after a man, drinking responsibly, decided he didn’t want to risk driving the bird to the shelter himself.
Tim Crowley was day drinking with friends on a neighbor’s porch on a Saturday afternoon. That’s when he saw a little bird fall from the sky, CNN afiliate KSTU reported.
Crowley and his friends took a picture of the bird and sent it to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah. A representative from the rehabilitation center texted back, telling them to bring the bird in.
It took two tries. The first Uber driver backed out, finding the request too odd. But a second one, Christy Guynn, agreed.
She put the little bird in a box with leaves the men gave her.
“The only noise was the chirping,” Guynn told KSTU. “I guess he was happy when I turned off the air conditioning off and rolled the windows down a little bit. I definitely think it was a little too cold for him.”
The orphaned baby bird, a lesser goldfinch, was less than two weeks old.
“While we feel we’ve seen it all and can’t be amazed by anything, there is always SOMEONE out there to prove us wrong,” rehab center workers wrote on Facebook
You may not be wrong but it's wholesome as hell that someone tried, they may not have known this cool science fact and found an animal in trouble and went out of their way to help a small helpless creature and the willingness to do that means a lot more to me than the effectiveness.

You can see a thing with a company involved and not then buy things. Advertisement (if this even counts) isn't a mind control ray and people here most likely know that capitalism is bad. Anyone who would start using Ubee because it was mentioned in this post would have done stochastic terrorism in the name of the Hexbear way before this. Get over yourself, you aren't the only person capable of basic media literacy that is taught in the seventh grade. Let shit posters shitpost. This doesn't impress anyone.
