Suddenly, a bird enters and snatches the snack from the hands of a Twitch streamer who was enjoying it. Even though Twitch began primarily as a gaming platform, it has grown into much more. It has been used by politicians to stream their speeches, by producers of talk shows and game shows, and by some people as a way for others to essentially watch their lives in real-time. As a result, there have been some seriously bizarre Twitch highlights, like the time a streamer’s kitchen caught fire while they were cooking live. Some people have even broadcasted their jobs and other daily routines using the service.
Twitch streamer AikoiEmil, was enjoying the scenery while eating a sandwich when nature decided to step in and ruin the moment. Unexpectedly, a bird swooped in and stole his sandwich, making sure it didn’t waste any time loitering nearby with its spoils. The streamer was left to sit there in disappointment, shock, and possibly some confusion after the bird took off. It’s undoubtedly one of those instances where no one would suspect it was captured on camera, and it serves as further evidence of why these kinds of IRL live streams are so well-liked.
You get to observe events as they take place, the streamer’s in-the-moment responses, and marvel at life as it develops in all of its peculiar and unexpected ways. While it does seem difficult to ensure that a bird comes and rips food out of your hands while everyone is watching you via a live stream, some Twitter users claimed that the clip of this moment was staged.
In any case, it’s a very funny video that has gained a lot of popularity on social media. The entirety of AikoiEmil’s channel features their excursions and adventures in Japan. Although it’s unclear where AikoiEmil was when the bird stole their food, the incident made for a pretty hilarious viral clip that will undoubtedly drive traffic to their channel.
