The "How to get a pigeon out of the house" video, posted to YouTube by axw820, shows the man use a set of fireplace tongs to free the bird, which then flaps around the room while the man runs to a corner and utters a frightened sound Reddit users compared to video game gorilla Donkey Kong and lab assistant Muppet Beaker.

The man said the pigeon pooped in his house, but the moment was missed by the camera due to his "flailing and screaming." "I am quite ashamed at how pathetic I was, but at least it's funny!" he wrote.
