1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,439
Speaker 2: You know, I do look at the BBC News archives

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: and I saw this story from nineteen sixty nine. It's

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: a man called Glynn Wood. He's wearing a suit, looks

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: like your average kind of man. I think he's a

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: tax accountant. He was walking home one day and a

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: pigeon landed on his head and refused to leave. So

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: this pigeon has been living on his head. He's being interviewed.

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 2: He's wearing a regular suit and tie. He's being interviewed

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: and when he's had a listen to it.

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: But picture the picture.

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: What's going on. He's sitting there with a thing the

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: size of a small chicken, a pigeon walking around on

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: top of his head as this exchange takes place.

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: Did it seem a fairly friendly sort of bird.

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: It's very friendly, very friendly to me, that is, and

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: doesn't like my life.

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: Do you think it recognizes you?

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: I think it must do, because on Friday evening, out

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: of about fifty or sixty people, it picked me out.

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: But how do you even tried to push it off and

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: get rid of it?

23
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: Oh? I did it in the first instance. I did, yes,

24
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 3: about four or five times, and it just flew around

25
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 3: and came back on ahead again.

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: Where did it go with you?

27
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 3: It goes everywhere. Everywhere I go, the pigeon goes. I

28
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 3: got the road in the shops being gross.

29
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: But what happens when you want to go to work

30
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: in the morning.

31
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 3: Well, if night I put it in the garage and

32
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: lock the doors, and then the following morning, when I'm

33
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: welcome out of the house, my wife opens the garage

34
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 3: doors and it flies off.

35
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: And what happens when you come home at night or

36
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: when I come home at night?

37
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: Is waiting for me?

38
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: Isn't it a problem when you want a meal?

39
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: It was at first, but I've learned to live with it,

40
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: and when I'm hungry I eat.

41
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: Don't you find it rather messy keeping a pigeon at

42
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: the top?

43
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: Yes, I've gone through three suits and about half a

44
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: dozen shirts to know.

45
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any answer to the problem.

46
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: I don't see one. If it was all in my mind,

47
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: I could see psychiatrist and that would be the end

48
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: of the matter. But this is real.

49
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 4: It's like a body python.

50
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: It sounds like Moudy python. And weirdly, when that story

51
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: aired on BBC News, someone said they recognized their pigeon

52
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: and went and claimed it. It was their pigeon and

53
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: it had flown away and had lived on top of

54
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: mister Wood's head for over a week. And then they

55
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: said no, they recognized Charlie on the news, yep, and

56
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: they found it and Charlie went home with them again.

57
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: So the story just got weirder.

58
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 4: Whenever you see a dude walking around with a bird

59
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 4: on his shoulder, you think, okay, it's always says.

60
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Or rat on you shoulder.

61
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, snakes, rats, birds, any of that stuff.

62
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 4: I guarantee you it's some sort of weirdo.

63
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

64
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: It's like when you see a grown man riding around

65
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 4: on a BMX bike.

66
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: You do that?

67
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: You do that?

68
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: They shirt on He was jealous. I'm just saying, unless

69
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 4: it's Jonathan the Parlia, he can get away with it.

70
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: But if I do it, I look like I belong

71
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: in a caravan. Part Well, what.

72
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: About though this animal though picked him out, It wasn't

73
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: that he got a pet and carried it around with him,

74
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: and that sometimes happened. The member Chris Brown did a

75
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: story for the living Room The living Room for the

76
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: living Room about an emu was behaving really strangely, and

77
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: the farmer said, I don't know what's going on, and

78
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: Chris deducted that the emu was in love with the farmer.

79
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: It was nesting season and the emu was fixating on

80
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: the farmer.

81
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: Brandy has had with all the birds they or just

82
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 4: come to me.

83
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're all draped around his neck. Like any solution,

84
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 2: I don't see one.
