A television journalist in Chile was reporting live about rising crime in the area, when a bird perched on his shoulder — and stole one of his AirPods.

Apparently birds in Chile have comic timing — and are attracted to AirPods. Not a lot of background is needed to enjoy this clip from a live news broadcast, but it does help to know that the story being reported on is about crime.

It's not clear whether the reporter managed to retrieve the AirPod, as hopefully the bird soon realised it was inedible. If not, though, he could try using Apple's Find My.
