Reds announcers Thom Brennaman and Jeff Brantley got an unexpected visitor in the TV booth.

During the sixth inning of Sunday's game, a bird, perhaps a morning dove, perched itself on Brennaman's chair and seemingly refused to leave.

The bird began to be called, affectionately, "Rally Bird" on social media due to a mini-rally by the Reds as they scored three runs in the sixth to cut the Colorado Rockies' lead down to two.

Brennaman was even able to get an exclusive interview with "Rally Bird."
