Have a mysterious murder on your hands, and you're just an inept homicide detective that pulled the case out of bad luck?
Well, you better hope that murdered person was the proud owner of a genius parrot! LOLz!
Just a week ago, Neelam Sharma and her pet dog were found murdered in Agra, India. Why they killed the dog and not the bird, we'll never really know. Unless, like we said, the bird was a genius and outsmarted the murderer.
Police were straight up BAFFLED until they got a tip from
WHOA! This guy is lucky to be alive!!
This is so nuts! A small, single engine plane was only a few miles away from landing, traveling through smooth air at a steady 170mph when a pilot's nightmare came true:
A bird smashed into the windshield, breaking right through the glass, sending debris into the pilot's face!
Omg that must've been absolutely TERRIFYING!!
Luckily, the pilot was a seasoned veteran and, even though this had never happened before, he was able to keep the plane under control.
He reached his hand to his face, checking for injuries and was still able to keep his cool after he saw his hand was covered in face blood.
When he landed, a surprisingly good landing, he was complimented by the air traffic controllers and met by firefighters who helped him out.
He's so lucky that this bird didn't strike him in the face and knock him unconscious!

This is so wonderful!
We love the incredibly specific genre of news involving the pope and birds.
The last story about the pope and birds didn't really go according to plan, but this story is just fabulous across the board!
An Italian porn star, Francesco Lombardi, went to see the Pope and brought along his pet parrot Amore.
The pope was making his way through the crowd when he spotted the bird and actually circled back to
No! Poor peace doves!
The pope was giving his weekly Sunday Angelus prayer, in front of the tens of thousands of people who gather in the Vatican, along with two kids, when something unexpected happen!
After finishing his prayer for those in the Ukraine, the kids next to him released two white peace doves, which began to flapp away into the beautiful Italian sky… until they were attacked!!
Two birds of prey, a seagull and a crow, flew in and assaulted the peace doves!
The seagull pinned one of the doves against a wall and pecked at it but the bird escaped while the crow snatched and pecked at the other bird before it too escaped.
The magic power of the pope helped the birds get away with their lives!!
Kinda symbolic… the peace doves were attacked by birds of prey but overcame adversity and rose above it to fly off into the sunset!!
Check out a video of the dove release AFTER THE JUMP!!
This is so cool! And it all happened by chance!
A falcon was scavenging near a colony of penguins when he spotted a lone egg.
All the other eggs had hatched so this was a rare delicacy!
Except there was a reason it was the only egg left…
It was an egg shaped camera! It captured all sorts of incredible video of the falcon rolling the egg around.
Until the bird actually picked up the egg in its talons and shot a breathtaking aerial view of the penguin colony as he flew over them.
This bird is a pretty darn good cameraman!
Check out the incrediballs footage AFTER THE JUMP!!
In Utah, bald eagles are getting sick and dying and no one knows why!
So far, at least 16 eagles have died since the beginning of this month alone!
That's so awful!
Of those dead birds, half were found already dead and the others died or were euthanized while in the care of wildlife officials.
Thankfully, a lab in Madison, Wisconsin is doing blood and toxicology work to try and find out what's going on. Sadly, there won't be any results for a few weeks.
The problem is, because officials have no idea what's going on, they have no clue as to how to treat or prevent it.
The symptoms are pretty scary. The birds have weakness in their legs, then one leg goes paralyzed, followed by the other. After that the birds get head tremors and eventually seizures. They die in about three or four days.
Wildlife officials are now advising people not to touch the birds should they see one and to instead contact the Division of Wildlife Resources.
This is kinda way scary! We hope this isn't an Outbreak style scenario!
