Vineland chiropractor saves bird that crashed into window

We've all been there.

You mind your own business when WHAP! A loud noise right outside your house.

“What was that???”

They look around and realize that the sound came from a bird. It flew straight into your sliding glass door or window and now lies motionless on the floor.

Dead.

Wait. Maybe not dead.

Vineland chiropractor saves a bird's life

John Mainiero is one of the coolest and most interesting guys I've ever met.

And not just because it can make my back feel better. (But that's a big part of it!)

Mainiero, who calls himself “The Stealth Doctor” on Facebook, is also something of a “bird whisperer.” (That's actually a title given to him by some of his son's friends.)

When a bird recently crashed into a window, Mainiero was there with his video camera rolling to help. Check out the best save of the week:

This is some kind of magic, right?

How he learned that

Doc John told me that he has saved countless birds over the last 30 years. Despite it,

He said he learned the technique early in his career from an older chiropractor friend when he was learning to treat dogs and horses.

Mainiero says he could teach others to do the same.

Have you ever seen anything like this? I never thought it was possible until I saw it for myself!

Do you have an interesting story about a local person who goes above and beyond? I would like to hear from you. You can email me at [email protected].
