As he approached the door, a voice whispered from inside: 'Careful, it's alive!' The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one else. He opened the package carefully and out popped a small, sleepy pigeon. ‘Oh,’ he said, ‘just another day at Barclays.’ The bird flapped its wings and flew off into the early-morning sky, leaving behind only a few confused employees and a note scribbled on a piece of paper: “Sorry for the inconvenience.”
