Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro bitten by an emu-like giant bird

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who has been tested positive for the novel coronavirus for a second time, was reportedly bitten by an emu-like bird that he tried to feed while in quarantine at the presidential palace here, a media report said. On Monday, Bolsonaro complained of his "horrible" isolation, saying he "can't stand this routine of staying at home", the Independent newspaper reported on Wednesday. Later that day, he took a stroll around the Palacio da Alvorada in Brasilia and decided to feed the birds. One of the flightless birds, called a rhea, "pecked" at the President, the Portuguese langauage Metropoles news website reported. In a live Facebook broadcast on Wednesday, Bolsonaro confirmed that he has once again tested positive for COVID-19, roughly a week after he contracted the virus. (IANS)
