The animal landed on the journalist’s shoulder, and snatched the earpiece. His cameraman tried to catch it, without success. The bird later dropped the earpiece, which was recovered. A parrot ‘stole’ the earpiece of a Chilean reporter while he was reporting live on an increase in thefts in the capital of Chile. It happened last Wednesday, November 2. The journalist of the Chilevisión channel, Nicolás Krumm, was speaking during a live broadcast when the parrot landed on his shoulder, took the earpiece with its beak and flew away with it. His cameraman tried to catch the bird to retrieve the earpiece, but the parrot flew away. The reporter told local media that the animal then dropped the device, which was recovered. The video has quickly gone viral on social media, racking up more than 169,000 views on the Chilevisión Twitter account.
