Nottingham woman makes unlikely friend after rescuing pigeon in beer garden

A Nottingham woman has gone viral after adopting a pigeon that she met in a beer garden. Hannah Hall, an NHS worker, was out drinking with friends in the Rose and Crown in Lenton on Monday, May 2 when a very friendly pigeon caught the attention of her group.

The pigeon was first lingering close to her friend, who has a phobia of birds, so Hannah stepped in to sit closer to it. It was then that the bird got closer and closer, eventually sitting on her and staying there for hours - it was a pub trip that would eventually end with her taking it home with her.

She decided to document what happened and posted a video about it on social media website TikTok, which has since been viewed more than seven million times and liked more than two million times. In fact, an account she made on Sunday, May 8, already had more than 40,000 followers as of May 9.
