Ryan Thomas has made a peculiar decision regarding the pigeon he believes is his deceased father. The Coronation Street actor recently announced on Instagram that he has brought the bird, named Dougie James, indoors to protect it from severe thunderstorms across the country.
Providing updates to his followers, Ryan expressed his attachment to the pigeon, whom he sees as a reincarnation of his late father who passed away in 2020. In a post on his Instagram Story, Ryan shared a video of Dougie in a cage with food, mentioning his intention to keep the bird safe indoors during inclement weather.
This development follows a series of emotional moments where Ryan tearfully shared his belief that Dougie embodies his father’s spirit, a renowned soul singer. Despite initial skepticism from fans, Ryan has been convinced of the bird’s significance, as it frequently visits his garden, leading him to believe it is a visitation from his father.
In a lighter moment, Ryan shared a video where he expressed relief and joy upon finding Dougie perched on his house’s TV aerial after briefly disappearing from the garden. Despite occasional doubts raised by friends about his mental state, Ryan humorously questioned his followers if they thought he was “losing the plot.”
While Ryan’s unique bond with Dougie continues to captivate audiences, he remains active on social media platforms, engaging fans with his updates and seeking their opinions on his unconventional relationship with the pigeon.
