The team assisted the RSPCA following calls from members of the public about birds trapped in netting in the city area.
Crews used an aerial appliance to release the birds and limit the suffering of the birds that could not escape.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said on Facebook: "We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused."
