Sneaky French Goose Makes Off With McDonald's Meal Like It's the Ultimate Prize
Sneaky French Goose Makes Off With McDonald's Meal Like It's the Ultimate Prize originally appeared on PetHelpful. Whether they care to admit it or not, just about everyone loves fast food. So, is it really any surprise that this is also true of our animal counterparts? Not really. And even in a place like France, which is renowned for its world-class fine dining culture, people, and as you will see in this video, animals, are not above enjoying the simple pleasures of a meal from American fast food titan McDonald's. However, we think that the French goose in this video more than just 'enjoys' McDonald's. Otherwise, why would he bother to steal someone's McDonald's meal and then try to get away with it like he just stole a Mega Millions winning lotto ticket? As this bizarre, and quite frankly, hilarious video shows, McDonald's is hard to resist. Deep in the suburbs of northern Paris, a man, Calvin Moreau, was just trying to enjoy his happy meal when he started recording a goose waddling towards him to seemingly investigate what was in his McDonald's to this video's comments section, Mr. Moreau attempted to talk to the bird in French as he grew suspicious that the bird had nefarious intentions regarding the contents of his McDonald's bag. According to the video, Mr. Moreau told the thieving bird, 'Stop that. Just because you're bigger doesn't mean you're smarter!' The next thing the Frenchmen knew, the bird had taken off with the paper McDonald's bag wrapped around their neck. This video had many people wondering: Can birds eat French fries? It's a good question. After all, these salty, delicious snacks are a favorite of many people all over the world. And a lot of people do enjoy feeding birds. So, why not give them French fries? Obviously, it's easy to give a bird a French fry, and it's just as easy for them to scarf it down. But is it actually good for them? The truth is, yes and no. French fries are not toxic to birds per se because they are mainly composed of carbohydrates and do contain some vitamins and minerals. However, French fries, especially McDonald's French fries, contain a lot of sodium and preservatives, which are detrimental to many animals', including birds, digestive systems. As such, if you see a bird approaching your bag of McDonald's, you should keep it away from them at all costs. Looking for more PetHelpful updates? Follow us on YouTube for more entertaining videos.

2 beloved Hampton Roads radio veterans who died days apart remembered
Two beloved radio veterans heard on Hampton Roads airwaves for years have gone silent. Mark 'McKay' Cunningham, 55, died after a battle with leukemia on May 25, just a couple days before Robert 'Jeff' Moreau, 67, died on May 27. Listeners knew Cunningham as Mark McKay, who spent close to 20 years — from 1999 to 2019 — hosting both morning and afternoon shows as a DJ, music director and assistant program director for Max Media's 97.3 The Eagle. He rose to program director in 2012. In 2019, he moved on as southeast regional director of promotions at Riser House, a Nashville-based record label. McKay also held an annual radiothon to raise money for WTKR News 3's Dream Home giveaway telecasts to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Jimmy Ray Dunn, afternoon disc jockey at The Eagle, remembers his former colleague as the ultimate professional. 'His show was always tight on the board — very positive and forward moving,' Dunn said. John Shomby, former director of programming and operations for Max Media, noted McKay's old-school approach, exceptional music taste and ability to predict hits. He said McKay helped launch careers for a long list of local talent. From the day Shomby walked into the radio station, he said he and McKay were 'joined at the hip': 'He was like a little brother to me — a pain in the butt, but he always had my back.' A happy hour kicked off on the Eagle at 5 p.m. Friday in honor of McKay with the same theme he seemed to live his life by: nothing sad, nothing sleepy, nothing slow, nothing weepy. Moreau, a 1976 graduate of Princess Anne High School, was a familiar voice on several radio stations. He worked in the market for more than 25 years, including on 101.3 2WD, Mix 105 and 97 Star. Eric 'Morning Guy' Worden on 93.7 BOB FM fondly recalls doing voiceover work alongside Moreau in recent years at Studio Center. 'His baritone voice was exceptional,' Worden said of his good friend. 'He was a pro's pro and 100% gentleman.' Mare Carmody, a former disc jockey at The Eagle, met Moreau decades ago early on in her career and said he was just a fun person to be around. 'He could be really silly, but he was also super kind-hearted,' she said. 'I can still hear his voice in my head. He had a wonderful, resonant voice.' Following his illustrious career in radio, Moreau became a professional pilot and flew commercial jets for United Land Corp. based in Charlottesville. He became a certified flight instructor and, over the course of five years, built his own airplane he named Patience. Tim Moreau said his older brother — and lifelong protector — got the bug for flying early on in his career when he did the traffic report from the sky. 'Like many things that Jeff did, he would master it and then move on,' Tim Moreau said. He reinvented himself a third time as a real estate agent and broker for North Star Real Estate. 'He was a very accomplished man,' Tim Moreau said. 'And he was the consummate showman — entertaining right up until the end.' Services for Jeff Moreau were held on Friday and Saturday. A celebration of life for McKay is planned for 1-4 pm on June 7 at Three Notch'd Brewery & Craft Kitchen in Virginia Beach. Sandra J. Pennecke, 757-652-5836,

Create Account 'I don't have the intention or the will to destroy Gilbert Rozon,' Véronique Moreau told Quebec Superior Court Justice Chantal Tremblay in the civil court trial that resumed this week after a long pause. Nine women, including Moreau's sister Sophie, are suing Rozon for nearly $14 million over alleged sexual abuse. 'I am reconstructing by looking back at how he hurt me, what he broke, what he mortgaged. I'm doing a personal reconstruction. I know that he might see it as a betrayal, but that is not my intention. 'There are things in my life that I'm trying to repair.' Moreau made the comments while replying to a question from Laurent Debrun, one of Rozon's defence lawyers, who asked if she ever had a conversation during which she was told to destroy Rozon.

In February, Moreau testified in support of her sister's claims that Rozon sexually assaulted her when she was 15 years old. The trial was halted for weeks after Moreau testified to allow the Quebec Court of Appeal to rule on a legal issue that came up in the trial. Wednesday was a chance for Rozon's defence to cross-examine Véronique Moreau, who was in a consensual relationship beginning in 1997 when she was 17 and he was 34. While answering questions, she repeated how in 2017 her sister Sophie alleged to her that Rozon sexually assaulted her and that during the same conversation, their mother alleged that she was also sexually assaulted by Rozon. The Moreau sisters are the daughters of late comedian Jean-Guy Moreau, a friend of Rozon's who hosted some of the comedy festival's galas, including the first one. He died in 2012. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Véronique Moreau alleged that Rozon sexually assaulted her often during their relationship between 1997 and 2001. She said they would have consensual sex and then Rozon would later penetrate her while she slept. 'There were variations to it,' she said, adding she would sometimes wake up as Rozon was forcing her legs apart. 'I thought it was normal. I thought that was how it was with couples.' Moreau said the relationship ended in 2001 during an argument over an apartment in Paris that, according to Moreau, Rozon gave to her as a gift. She said they argued during a phone call when Rozon informed her that his wife and their children would be taking over the apartment and that she would have to give it up. Moreau said she was only testifying to support her sister's claims and recalled how she gave a statement to the Montreal police over the phone when her sister filed a criminal complaint in 2017. She also said that in 2018, the Montreal police asked her if she was willing to secretly record a conversation with Rozon, but she refused. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. She also said the Montreal police asked her if she wanted to file a complaint as well, but she decided against it. On Tuesday, Rozon began making his defence in the trial. His sister testified on his behalf. On Wednesday, Rozon's lawyers resumed the defence by calling Sylvia Ohayon, a former Just for Laughs employee who worked in the ticket booths to testify on his behalf. Ohayon said she retired 10 years ago but would have preferred to work for Rozon 'until I die.' 'Listen, he was a good boss,' Ohayon said. 'He had confidence in us. We worked hard, but we had a lot of freedom.' Ohayon also said she 'never, never, never' saw Rozon consume drugs while she worked for him. Some of the plaintiffs in the case have claimed Rozon consumed drugs frequently and appeared to be high when he is alleged to have sexually assaulted them. 'Sophie Moreau was very proud that her sister was dating Mr. Rozon,' Ohayon said when she was asked if she knew some of the plaintiffs. The witness also said she was 'outraged' when stories about Rozon's alleged sexual abuse first emerged in 2017. 'Never, never, never did I hear — over 23 years — someone say anything about Mr. Rozon,' Ohayon said. 'I was outraged.' Toronto Raptors Crime Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls Toronto Maple Leafs
