Beijing man and tiny bird team up to make money

Screen Shot 2013-11-15 at 4.46.13 PM

A video uploaded to YouTube earlier this week has been causing quite a stir amongst web users in Japan today. In it, we see what appears to be a homeless man in China’s capital city asking for money from passersby on the street.

Rather than simply holding a cardboard sign asking for spare change or sitting on the ground with a paper cup like, sadly, so many are forced to, this man has a rather neat trick for generating a little extra cash: he has trained a small bird to fly into the hand of those donating their yuan and bring the coins back to him one by one!

We would of course rather that this man didn’t to have to depend on the charity of strangers at all, and we most definitely don’t want to trivialise life on the streets here, but when you see a tiny little bird playing fetch for a human, you stop and take notice.

Just watch this little guy go!

Let’s see that again, shall we?

▼ The duo stand in wait.

▼ “Go, little guy!”

▼”Thaaankya very much!”

▼ “OK, snack please.”

A little spare change for the man, a handful seeds for the bird. That seems like a fair working relationship to us.
