16-year-old Emily has documented herself untangling string from pigeons' feet in a California park on February 19. br br Emily posted the video to TikTok (@stupid.ratgirl) where she boasts 130,000 followers.br br She told Newsflare: "I started feeding pigeons when I was 12.br br "I started because I really really love pigeons. I think they're super sweets and underrated birds.br br "In the video I am taking strings off the pigeons' feet. Pigeons are softbill birds so they can't remove it themselves. A lot of the time I find birds with necrotic toes and sometimes entire legs because the strings cut off circulation.br br "The TikTok popularity is sort of overwhelming but I really do like it. It's opened me up to a lot of new opportunities.
