Glynne Wood, the man with a pigeon on his head
October 1969: Glynne Wood gained fame in the UK when a pigeon landed on his head and refused to leave. Wood stoically accepted his fate and went about his daily activities with the pigeon perched there. Five days later, thanks to news coverage of the man-bird friendship, the pigeon's owners came forward and took the pigeon home. last week, the sudden screeching brakes of an articulated lorry scared Charlie — and he flew off. Two hours, and four miles later, Mr. Glynne Wood was walking to his home in Flaxley Road, Stechford, when Charlie landed on his head and refused to budge. Mr. Wood tried to leave the bird outside his house but it insisted on coming in — on his head. Then night-shift worker Mr. Miotia recognised newspaper pictures of the bird — and Mr. Wood's problem was solved.
