Two Canadian brothers rescued and released a bald eagle that was found in a trap.

Michael and Neil Fletcher posted two videos on Facebook about finding the white headed bird in a fur trap on November 24th.

The brothers worked together to save the bird from the trap and used a sweater to cover the eagle while trying to remove the trap.

Before allowing the bird to be released the brothers had to take a selfie, just to make sure it was recorded that the meeting actually did happen.

During the final video one brother releases the bird from his hands and the bald eagle flies into the sky.
