I was at Dd's house recently, she opened her freezer and a I could see was lots of little pink mouse tails.
She has a pet snake so they are for him.
I also once sat eating my lunch in Indonesia whilst watching some guys shoving a cow into the back of a bemo (minibus type thing but with no back doors)

Anyone else?

A swan on the back seat of my car.

I was told on a training course that the rarest thing I’d ever see would be an elephant walking in the street in Copenhagen.
Weirdly, I used to fly to Copenhagen for work and was staying near Tivoli gardens, and guess what? I saw an elephant walking down the street.

I once saw a woman walking along the street with a python.
Apparently the python went missing.
I've moved from there now!

Someone dressed as a badger reading a magazine.

I also once saw someone finish their bottle of water then vigorously lick the outside of the bottle and the cap.

Woman in a bar in Canada with a parrot on her shoulder
Man at a festival taking a ferret for a walk on a lead.
Man in an outdoor clothing shop in Basildon with a lizard on a lead (sitting on his shoulder).
Friend who used to foster bats had them in an enclosure in her lounge.
I'm sure there have been more but can't think of them right now.

A life size fibreglass elephant on the back of a lorry being driven through a sleepy little village miles from anywhere.

And one of two of the posts on MN Grin

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/04/2021 23:51

The water bottle licking has me laughing and baffled in equal measures.
Like why?

I once observed a pigeon eating a dead pigeon. Not all that surprising, really. But has stuck in my mind for about 20 years now.

CirqueDeMorgue · 02/04/2021 23:57

Probably loads but naked people on bikes stands out. I think it was a charity thing though.

1, Adrian Edmondson crowd surfing while dressed as a parrot.
2, a giant mechanical elephant in Trafalgar Square.
From the days before I had kids and my life was cool Grin

All whilst on a bus:

A footballer as promised showing his arse in a department shop window.
A man on a mobility scooter with many actual owls adorning it.
A squirrel dragging a full pizza into a tree.

Also air force one, surrounded by fighter planes and double roter helicopter doodahs flying overhead, this time whilst at a bus stop.

In Telluride, Colorado, a man with a dog, and on the dog sat a cat, and on the cat sat a rat.

A car flying over a roundabout

A man walking down the street flying a parrot on a lead like a kite 😆

Maybe the water was vodka?!

Nice haha i once saw a bloke in mccolls with a massive parrot on his shoulder, also a woman at a bus stop with a ferret, we stroked it, it was nice.

I'm learning that I should spend my time on buses more to enliven my life.

I've since learned he's a bit of celebrity.

A bride on top of a camel, walking down the local high street, about 35 years ago. It was so long ago, I could almost think I dreamt it, except last time there was a similar thread, someone else had seen it too.

SingleHandSue · 03/04/2021 00:17

I once saw a sheep in a field with a tyre balanced on top of its head as I went past on the bus. It was a rural service where I was the only passenger so I shouted up to the driver to check he’d seen it too in case I was hallucinating or something.

Also a man in a cafe eating fish and chips just cutting in to the slice of lemon and eating it with his knife and fork like it was a normal thing to do.

SisterAgatha · 03/04/2021 00:18

I once saw a man having a shower in a Toys R Us car park, out of a huge bottle of water that another man, laying on a caravan, was holding over the top of him.
