A ‘mutant pigeon’ with long legs has caused a stir on social media.
The bizarre footage, believed to have been filmed in the UK, was shared last month on @pigeonstv TikTok leaving people baffled at the-looking bird.
In the video, the enormous creature appears, which has a puffed-up chest and jacked legs.

The clip was later shared on the @MacrodosingPod Twitter account where even more people were stunned with the odd-looking bird.
The video was captioned: ‘Like different types of domestic dogs, domesticated pigeons come in all shapes and sizes like this Pouter pigeon.’
The English Pouter pigeon is a domesticated breed native to the UK and is known for its very large crop, endlessly long legs and feathered feet.
In the video, the bird can be seen walking along a fence with an extremely puffed out chest.
Online viewers were baffled as they commented in shock while many referred to the bird as a ‘Pokemon’.
One person wote: ‘Looks like a bird ate another bird.’
Another said: ‘It’s like a Pokemon evolved.’

While someone else said: ‘Wtf is that Pokemon’?
Another quipped: ‘This is someone trying to prove evolution by breeding pigeons back into velociraptors.’
Another said: ‘And like dogs, some of the resulting breeds are sins against nature, if not outright acts of animal cruelty just for existing.
‘Cool looking bird though, at least it looks like it can breathe.’
