Viral video: Parrot flies away with journalist's earphone during live reporting

It is not very uncommon to see animals and birds steal food items from humans. But have you ever seen a bird steal an earphone directly from a person’s ear? Well, such an incident has recently been witnessed on the internet. In a very funny and amusing video, a parrot slyly flies up to a journalist’s shoulder and later flees away with a piece of his earphones from one of his ears. The entire episode was caught on a live TV report when the journalist identified as Nicolas Krumm was reporting from a scene of a crime. While the reporter was speaking about rising robbery cases in the area, ironically a similar earphone theft took place with him.

The video was being aired on a news channel where the journalist was speaking about matters of robbery and security in Santiago de Chile. As we see in the 20-second video, the journalist while speaking on camera got a surprise visit after a parrot perched on his shoulder. As the journalist excitedly signalled the cameraman about the same, the bird took a few steps toward his ear and eventually removed one of AirPod to later fly away with it.

Seemingly undisturbed by the theft, the journalist can be seen continuing his reporting.
