Here's something you probably didn't expect to see on a Wednesday afternoon.
A video circulating on social media appears to show a woman strolling down a Singapore street while clutching a large, exotic-looking bird in both hands.
The footage is taken from the perspective of a vehicle and shows the driver pulling up the woman who also seems aware of how ridiculous the situation is.
Endangered grey crowned crane
The bird in question is in fact a grey crowned crane, native to eastern and southern Africa.
Regrettably, they are also endangered as a result of habitat loss and poaching.
Just how it ended up in Singapore is up for speculation though a pair were released or escaped from a pet farm in Seletar.
These days, one grey crowned crane is known to hang out at Seletar Country Club, where it has met a number of notable guests.
Drunk customer escorted out of a bar
However, judging from the latest video, and another sent into Mothership by a reader, it is uncertain if the grey crowned crane is the one from Seletar.
The second video, presumably taken after the one above, shows the woman walking with the bird as if escorting a drunken customer out of the bar and towards a taxi stand.
With the crane less than cooperative, the woman then decides to hoist it up and tuck it under her arm, continuing her sidewalk march.
