In the early hours of yesterday morning, Monday 21st December, West Midlands Police received a call regarding suspicious behaviour.
At 02:20 hours, PC Oscar Finney was on patrol in the Brierley Hill area and was informed that the caller believed a man was walking another man on a lead.
The caller had been worried the pair may be in danger of being hit by traffic as they walked along, so PC Finney made his way to Hill Street.
However, when he arrived he found the men were taking their pet owl for an early morning stroll! As he was talking to the pair, the owl decided to sit on on the officer’s head!
PC Finney said:
“The bird was tethered by a piece of rope and perched on one of their shoulders – so from a distance it appeared that one man had a lead around his neck.
“I was patrolling in the area on my night shift so popped along to check out what was happening – and the next thing I knew the owl was on my head.
“One of the more bizarre jobs I’ve attended. I was there for just a few minutes and, after speaking to the men, continued on my patrols.”
West Midlands Police said they felt it was only right to ‘tweet’ about the incident!

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger?
