You haven’t seen the last of the bird man. Webb Simpson, who won the U.S. Open yesterday, had his interview interrupted by a man identified only as “Jungle Bird.”
TMZ spoke with the unidentified man after his now infamous cuckooing at the U.S. Open. The bird man admits that he had a few beers before interrupting Simpson and Bob Costas, but said that this wasn’t some drunken stunt. The Jungle Bird said that he jumped in front of the camera in order to get people to think about deforestation.
Bird man said: “I want people thinking about saving trees.”
The Jungle Bird said that it was surprisingly easy to get on camera. There was plenty of security at the U.S. Open but according to the JB, the security guards were caught up in the moment.
“It was quite easy…. There was security there but everyone was caught up in the moment and they were distracted.”
TMZ reports that the bird man was handed over to the San Francisco Police Department but he was eventually let go because the U.S. Open decided not to press charges.
Here’s the video of the bird man at the U.S. Open.
Did you hear Bird Man’s call to stop deforestation? What do you think of Jungle Bird’s strange protest?
The forest enthusiast said that he didn’t have plans for interrupting any other golf outings, but he will be heading to the House Of Commons in the U.K. to…. make bird noises?
The man said: “The House of Commons is the next port of call.”
Jungle Bird is taking advantage of his new fame. He started a Facebook page and is now selling “Stop Deforestation” T-shirts.
my hero!
I love this guy… We need more people like "Bird Man" in the world.
Looks like Kelsey Grammar is just trying to get on tv again….
He might be more effective by just planting a tree.
Funny, I didn't think about the forests when this stunt happened, just how many beers he had consummed.
Wow Mike, he does look like Kelsy Grammer. Just a funnier version!
my roomate's ex-wife makes $79/hr on the laptop. She has been out of a job for 9 months but last month her pay was $8641 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Go to this web site CashLazy.*com

he thinks you get arrested for interrupting his interviews, what an inflated ego.
That's the first thing that came to my mind. "This guy is pissed off about deforestation". Or maybe it was " Hey, look at the drunk Wakadoo!"
On behalf of environmentalists everywhere, let me just say…thanks for making us look like lunatics. Go ahead, give the neo-cons more ammunition.
Anybody notice that the head of the usga looks like michael scott on the office with a bad haircut lol.
he doesn't look like kelsy grammer — he looks like vince vaughn.
moron
after seeing him I immediately went out and de-forested something!
He made me laugh actually lol and yes, Stop Deforestation.
That was hilarious. He should have added " The only thing more pathetic than dedicating your life to something that benefits no one but yourself is someone who pays to watch you do it".
That is exactly what I thought. Just be happy that you won. If I was that guy I would be laughing hysterically. What is the big deal. Plus, now it is all over the internet and people will actually know how you are outside of the golf world. Now I just think he looks like an arrogant jerk.
Birdman said he had a few beers…..Few = 14.
