The local people of Birmingham have been asked “what’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen in Birmingham?” to which there was a plethora of interesting answers.
Social media user, Birmingham Updates, took the challenge upon themselves to find out what residents would really class as the “craziest” sight they’ve ever seen.
Standing outside New Street station, two locals told the interview their “craziest” memory of Birmingham happened near St. Martin’s Church.
The interviewee said: “I was down by St. Martin’s Church near the Bullring, and there was somebody outside for six hours just playing the steel drums, non-stop all day.”
Another resident shared seeing dancers on the ramp outside of the train station had to be the “craziest” sight she had seen in Birmingham.
She said: “Down there are some dancers ‘doing a madness’ or on TikTok Live.”
The final interviewee claimed her maddest memory of the city was when she was enjoying a drink outside, soaking up some sun.
She said: “I was once day drinking and I saw a furry convention walk by, and when you’re drunk that is something very strange to be witnessing.”
Furries are “enthusiasts for animal characters with human characteristics, in particular a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar online,” according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

Other locals under the Birmingham Updates video chipped in to give their opinion on the most insane sights they’ve seen in the city.
One person said: “There used to be a man who claimed he was the reincarnation of Michael Jackson and for 50p he could change the weather for you, not seen him in ages.”
Another added: “The horse who plays the keyboard and is saving up for an engagement ring.”
A commenter even said they had seen someone “pinch Jesus out of the nativity” at Christmas “and swapped him for a garden gnome.”
