Today started with a little newsroom drama. I came into work only to hear a loud shriek coming from Maria Guerrero as she left the audio booth after voicing a story. Turns out a bird was loose in the newsroom and had just narrowly passed her head. Not sure when, how, or most especially why the bird found its way inside, but now there was the challenge of getting it out. Unfortunately, the little guy or gal was probably scared out of its mind and had been flying around inside since mid-morning.
The suggestion was made to turn off the lights and open the door, letting it fly towards the light. Worked before apparently, but not today. The bird ends up cornered in the conference room shortly after the start of the video below and plenty of hilarity ensues. Sure, there are some boring parts and the video is 11 minutes long, but there are several key moments that will likely make you laugh. Maybe it’s just funny if you know the people involved. The end though — where the bird is caught and then released — is the best. Make sure to catch that part.
Great job, Bird Whisperer!!
Thanks for sharing – loved the “it’s not in there”. I think the birdie got them back with a scare of its own!
