Bird ‘confuses’ UK police officers by mimicking their siren sound: video

Police officers in the United Kingdom thought that something was wrong with their cars when they kept hearing a strange noise that sounded convincingly similar to thei🌠r sirens, video shows.

Cops from the Thames Valley Police force at the Roads Policing b𓆉ase in Bicester were “left a l🃏ittle bit confused this week” by the sounds — until they discovered a local bird mimicking their sirens.

A video Wednesda🍷y shows the b꧃ird in a tree above the parking lot where several police vehicles are parked tweeting out sounds nearly identical to the sirens.

“It’s so accurate, they’ve been left thinking the sirens were faulty on the cars,” the department wrote in the post.

“From our workshops th🐭at test the two-tone tune to officers deploying to jobs,🅷 this little fella has been sat patiently observing the noise to then recreate,” they added.

Many speculated on social media that the black bird could be a💦 🍎crow, known for their mimicking abilities, while others thought it could be a starling, which can also mimic noises impressively.
