May 4 (UPI) -- Animal rescuers in British Columbia came to the rescue of a blue heron that turned out to have a talon stuck inside a giant oyster's shell.
The Dewdney Animal Hospital in Maple Ridge shared a video explaining rescuers responded Saturday to a report of a blue heron that appeared to have its leg caught between rocks in the water off Vancouver's Stanley Park.
The rescuers arrived to find the rocks in question were actually the two halves of a giant oyster's shell.
The post joked that the oyster "got shellfish and clammed up, which really shucked."
The bird and the oyster attached to its toe were taken to the animal hospital to be separated.
