Watch a Man Climb a Street Light Pole to Save a Trapped Seagull

A man named Jack from Glasgow, Scotland is drawing praise from social media users after the video of him saving a seagull trapped on a street light pole became viral.

In a TikTok clip shared by a social media team from a bar named Box Glasgow, Jack can be seen climbing the pole outside the venue without any assistance or safety measures. On the top of the pole is a seagull that got himself stuck between arching pipes.

After getting on top, Jack manages to free the seagull with the bird flying off to enjoy its newfound freedom.

“Here is Jack, the famous seagul saviour outside our venue!” Box Glasgow wrote in the caption of the video while revealing that they will name a cocktail after Jack.
