Radio Host Attacked by Bird
During a recent broadcast on WSFM radio, radio host Amanda Keller was unexpectedly attacked by a bird, leaving her with a small injury.
Details of the Incident
Amanda Keller, alongside co-host Brendan Jones, was hosting their show ‘Jonesy and Amanda’ when a colorful lorikeet, named Blaze, nipped her during the live broadcast.
The duo had been taking care of Blaze, a 19-year-old pet bird, for the week and decided to give her a bath during the show. Amanda, wearing a pink poncho and plastic gloves, attempted to bathe Blaze, but the bird was not cooperative.
