See the video: In the middle of the live switch: Parrot steals the show from the reporter – and robs him.
Going live is always a moment of intense focus for reporters, with no room for distractions. This TV journalist in Chile was reporting on an increase in robberies in the capital Santiago when a parrot unexpectedly perched on his shoulder and brazenly stole one of his two headphones while the camera was rolling. The reporter initially continued to report in a very professional manner, a cameraman tried to get the bird to let go of its prey. Without success. Only after the end of the live broadcast did the parrot drop the earplug. In the end, a concerned resident topped it all off, asking the TV crew to leave the bird alone.
