Officers at Thames Valley Police have been left baffled and bemused after a hen exterior one their bases learnt to imitate the sound of a police siren.
The officers recorded the hen – possible a blackbird – making the noises exterior their Roads Policing base in Bicester, Oxfordshire.
Footage reveals the hen perched in a tree exterior the station flawlessly copying the siren’s high-pitched sound.
The pressure mentioned the sound was “so correct” they thought the sirense had been defective on their vehicles.
