A pigeon is making its way towards viral fame with a video showing its sporting prowess on a baggage carousel.

The brave bird was spotted by Rich O’Grady, 23, in Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, and gathered a rather large audience. Rich filmed the pigeon’s efforts and posted them on Facebook, garnering over 500 views.

However, it comes back, putting on a last-minute burst of speed to avoid the plastic curtains of despair.

It seems it wasn’t able to keep away from those curtains a second time. Rich said the bird disappeared behind the curtains, only to appear on the other side of the carousel, to the delight of spectators.

What a hero.
