In England, a four people called for an ambulance for a sick pigeon. (It’s English slang to refer to women as birds, and so the dispatcher sent the ambulance, assuming the victim was a person, not an animal.)

So, were the callers right to call the London Ambulance Service, or was this a waste of resources properly reserved for humans? (The pigeon, by the way, did not survive.)
so much for victim identification in England
I like animals but calling EMS for a bird ties up emergency services that people might need.
So weird they went out without asking much info about the “person” who needed help.
