Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Bird Caught Impersonating Police Van Confuses Officers

Caption:

British Police officers were left "confused" by a bird when it convincingly mimicked the sound of the sirens on their cars. Thames Valley Police said staff initially thought their vehicles had developed a fault after hearing the noise at a policing base in Bicester. A video filmed at the site in Oxfordshire and posted on social media shows the bird chirping in a tree, before then replicating the sound of a two-tone siren. Social media users speculated that the bird could be a starling, which are known for their ability to mimic man-made noises.
