A Giant Seagull

A massively magnified sea bird made a surprise appearance on Melbourne’s Channel Nine news.

“In a scene reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film The Birds, a giant seagull stole the show on the Channel Nine News in Melbourne last night,” reports news.com.au. “The massively magnified bird walked across a real-time projection of the Melbourne cityscape behind newsreader Peter Hitchener’s head while he was reading a story about a 27-year-old murder on the 6pm news. Ever the professional, the news stalwart only mildly flinched on noticing the seagull but later told 3AW radio the studio cameramen hid behind their cameras to hide their laughter.”
