This guy’s unfortunate pigeon encounter was already good, but Naga Munchetty’s reaction made it brilliant
You’ll have encountered no end of pigeons as you go about your daily life, but chances are you’ve never had one fly into you. Specifically, fly into your head.
So spare a thought for this chap who suffered not only a pigeon colliding with his noggin, he had the moment shared with the nation on BBC Breakfast.
And while the clip was already a treat all by itself – well, except for the poor bloke, of course – it was made even better by Naga Munchetty’s fabulous reaction.
Stop the pigeon…
On #BBCBreakfast Naga & Ben shared CCTV footage of the moment a pigeon crashed into a man's head as he strolled to the shopshttps://t.co/GZBTPRRMG6 pic.twitter.com/kgF48RKHE1

Ooof.
To his credit, the pigeon managed to style it out. https://t.co/mL3rPwGEsk

I swear this gets funnier every hour I see it played. I'm sure that's definitely the footage and not just night shift delirium setting in https://t.co/plZw0Awvla

This is very funny and everything but I've been worrying about this for a while. Birds, of all stripes, are getting braver and we're not prepared. https://t.co/7elv8gCBlg

absolutely obsessed with everything about this video:
the confused look back and scratch of the head
the way the pigeon just saunters off
the multiple camera angles of the strike https://t.co/E8aCD8vPBa— Josh Luke Davis ️ (@JoshLukeDavis) September 22, 2023
Can't beat a pro presenter just losing it. https://t.co/tS5pxIFYif

Cannot work out if this was intentional by the pigeon or if it just wasn't looking where it was going https://t.co/LhDZN40iDb

Just in the interests of balance and all that …
Why is this so funny? It might be amusing but can't have been pleasant for man or bird.
It says so much about your program that you think this is worthy of national broadcasting.— Louise #RejoinEU (@louisepots) September 22, 2023

BBC Breakfast showed a pigeon hitting a man’s head and Naga Munchetty lost it. It’s absolutely delightful. pic.twitter.com/2NDBFlb64S
