Social media’s love for the unexpected has found a new favourite in a viral video showing a man calmly walking in public — completely covered in pigeons. The unusual sight has stunned and delighted viewers, earning the man the nickname “Bird Man” across platforms.
The clip, widely shared online, opens with the man moving casually as dozens of pigeons perch on him from his neck down to his waist. The scene appears almost surreal, drawing immediate attention from passers-by, many of whom can be seen stopping to stare, filming the moment and clicking selfies alongside him.
## “They are all my friends”
In the video, the man is heard speaking calmly about his unusual companions. “Yeh sab mere dost hai, jahan bhi jaata hoon yeh mere saath jaate hai,” he says, translating to, “They are all my friends. Wherever I go, they come with me.”
His relaxed demeanour and apparent comfort with the birds have added to the clip’s charm, making it even more captivating for viewers. Unlike moments of chaos often associated with viral clips, this one stands out for its quiet confidence and sense of harmony between the man and the pigeons.
## Netizens react with awe and humour
The video was shared by a user named S Patel on X, where it quickly gained traction. Users flooded the comments section with reactions ranging from amusement to amazement.
Many referred to him as the “Bird Man,” while others called the sight “kya sundar nazara” (what a beautiful sight). Comments such as “Amazing” and “Badiya, beautiful” reflected the overwhelmingly positive response. At last count, the clip had crossed over one lakh views and thousands of likes.
