A jilted Chinese woman has sent an unusual revenge gift to an ex-lover who broke up with her.

The woman in eastern China’s Shandong province bought tonne of onions online and had them delivered to her former boyfriend’s house, saying it was “his turn” to cry.

She ordered the delivery drivers to pile the eye-watering vegetable up on her ex-boyfriend’s doorstep and leave without ringing the doorbell, Shandong Net, a Chinese news outlet reported.

“I cried for three days, and now it’s your turn!,” she wrote in a note alongside the stinging gift.

The woman in Shandong, surnamed Zhao, told Shandong Net that she had been in a relationship with her ex-boyfriend for nearly a year before the man decided to “unilaterally” break up.

“It caused me a lot of pain, but he refused to cry!” Zhao said. So she said she decided to send a gift that would “squeeze out his tears”.

“Money is nothing. But the feelings between two people are precious. I can’t be the only one crying,” she added.

“I don’t know whether her boyfriend is crying or not. But I feel choked, the whole community is filled with the strong stench of rotting onions,” a woman living in the same residential block told Shandong Net.

 An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.

The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.

Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.

The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.

Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.

“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.

Stuck parrot

 Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.

San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.

Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.

“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
