16-year-old Emily has documented herself untangling string from pigeons' feet in a California park on February 19.
Emily posted the video to TikTok (@stupid.ratgirl) where she boasts 130,000 followers.
She told Newsflare: "I started feeding pigeons when I was 12.
"I started because I really really love pigeons. I think they're super sweets and underrated birds.
"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.
"The TikTok popularity is sort of overwhelming but I really do like it. It's opened me up to a lot of new opportunities."
