An Isis leader attempting to record a video in which he renews his allegiance to the terror group was repeatedly interrupted by a squawking bird.

The footage, shot by the Yemeni branch of Isis, shows the kneeling man check his notes before launching into an oath which is immediately drowned out by the animal’s call.

The jihadi, identified as Abu Muhammad al-Adeni, also appears to struggle with his own nerves. He repeatedly forgets his lines and at one point is told by another militant to “stay calm, keep cool”.
