Hilarious interruption

Such an incident is not the first time an animal has caused a hilarious interruption during a live news show. In a similar incident, a scarlet bird landed on a female anchor's head during a live broadcast.

Nichelle Medina and co-anchor Eric Kanhert were talking about the Zoo Day segment when the bird, a resident of the San Diego zoo suddenly flew in and perched itself on Medina's head. Medina reacted to the situation in a very calm way and smiled while the bird was sitting on her head.
