From CBS 21

Lancaster, PA — A FedEx driver is being noticed for answering the call to action after finding an injured owl while on his route.

The Raven Ridge Wildlife Center praised the driver, Justin, saying that he called the rescue after discovering the bird.

However, due to the center not having anyone available to assist, the postal carrier swooped into action and placed an empty envelope under the owl to track it down after his shift.

Sure enough, that’s when Raven Ridge said Justin came back to the bird and used his work jacket and some plastic wrap to transport it in a FedEx mail bin to Raven Ridge.

We cannot express our gratitude enough for Justin’s extraordinary commitment to rescuing and transporting this vulnerable creature to our care. This was a shining example of the ‘FedEx Purple Promise’ in action. Thankfully, Raven Ridge staff confirmed the animal is resting and receiving vital treatment for its dehydration and wounds.

“The next 72 hours are crucial for its recovery, and we remain hopeful for gradual improvement and a complete recovery, thanks to Justin’s selfless actions,” the nonprofit said.

“Every effort counts, and together, we can give this owl a second chance at life!”

    The cynic in me expects to next hear FedEx fired him for not completing his route in a timely manner. But I’m in a shit mood today, so hopefully that’s just me.

      If I find out they did, I’ll report it here so we can put them on blast! 💥

      I’m assuming he’s good if he let them post his pic and all that. They should give him Employee of the Month!
