A SHOPPER was left stunned when a confused pigeon was seen guarding a box of Cadbury chocolate eggs at Tesco.
Kim Blackman, 35, filmed the moment the white bird was spotted nesting on top of the snacks.
The pigeon is reportedly a “regular” at the branch in Enfield, North London.
The video filmed on January 14 shows the white female pigeon tucked away on the bottom shelf of a confectionery display.
Under her feet is a box of Cadbury caramel eggs, which she carefully guards with her feathers puffed out.
When Kim bends down to get a closer look, the bird can be seen with her talons embedded in the tray of chocolate treats.
Kim shared the video on TikTok last week with the caption: “Female pigeon sneaks into Tesco to protect the chocolate eggs.”
Speaking today, business owner Kim explained: “The security said the pigeons are locals. The security guard keeps an eye on them.
“I’ve been there a couple of times and they tend to fly in and stay near the door.
“When I saw it I went back to my car to get my phone and thought, ‘wow the irony’.
“I’m surprised it’s had such an impact, but all the TikTokers comments have been funny”.
The heartwarming video has since been viewed more than 187,000 times, where it has melted the internet’s heart.
One viewer wrote: “Okay, this is actually the sweetest thing ever. She’s protecting the chocolate eggs.”
Another added: “Is she laying Cadbury’s?”
