PARMA, Ohio — Officers often dedicate themselves to helping creatures large and small and one agency is taking their job very seriously, FOX 8 reported.

When officers discovered a dove created a nest at the base of a cruiser’s windshield, complete with two eggs, they decided to help preserve it. Officers added an umbrella to keep the nest dry, gave the dove a water cup and even dug up worms for it to eat.

They nicknamed the bird Gerty.
