A cheeky bird was rescued by a woman after it crashed through her car window and settled into her vehicle as she drove along a country road in the UK.
Jessica Mathews spotted the rooster on the side of the road while heading home along a country road in Aston-on-Trent, Derbys, according to SWNS, the British news service.
But the runaway bird decided to jump out the window of his Ford KA before making himself at home in the passenger seat and refused to leave.
