Speaking in stereo - the Powers' twins

Tweet

I was going to write about this ages ago but didn’t. These twins hit the news a while ago and have since appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel US TV show so perhaps some of you have heard of them. They’re the Powers twins, Paula and Bridgette. This identical duo are now 51 and have spent the past 25 years rescuing sick and injured seabirds. Before establishing their own centre, they spent two years working at the zoo run by Steve Irwin. They dress the same which isn’t so unusual with twins but they also speak as one, so you get this double-barrelled delivery which is quite fascinating to watch. They came to the attention of the public when their mother had her car hijacked by a gunman. Here’s a link to their interview: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-12/identical-twins-twinnies-bridgette-paula-powers-carjacking-viral/105240344 Edit: Some years ago, it seems they were labelled 'the most annoying twins in history' which seems very callous. The photo is mine.
