Watch: Bird steals woman's earbud, refuses to return and flies away

NEW DELHI: A video that is increasingly going viral and has cracked up the internet shows a bird flying away after stealing a woman's earbud and refusing to return it despite repeated attempts.

The video, posted on Reddit, shows a woman relaxing on the ground, wearing earbuds, listening to music and soaking in the sun. After a few seconds in the video, a yellow coloured bird comes near her and uses its beak to grab away one of her earbuds, all in a flash. The bird suddenly takes off, the earbud still stuck to its beak., leaving the woman shocked. The bird then flies away and sits on a wire, followed by a branch, all this while refusing to return the earbud.

The woman is taken aback and uses all her might to get her earbud back but to no avail. The bird flies and sits on top of a cage, where the woman tries to take the earbud from its mouth, but she fails. She even offers the bird a banana in exchange for the earpiece, but the bird just doesn’t relent.
