Topic: Why don't birds land on people's heads more often?

Anonymous A started this discussion 13 years ago #26,346

I mean, if people are just standing around motionless, wouldn't a bird occasionally get confused and land there? Yet I've never had a bird land on my head or seen it happen.

Because they're biding their time. Once there's enough of them and they refine their tactics, we'll see mass landings.

Years ago in my married days. I was on a business trip n discovered the change of leaves colours they have on east coast - Called my wife and said you gotta join me in Boston for the weekend.

So she flew out I rented a car and we drove to New Hampshire and hit the appalachian trail towards the White Mountains. On 2nd day of backpacking while standing around for a quick break a bird landed on my wife's shoulder. We were speechless. This lasted about 5 mins because of course we did not move one micro inch. Later when telling locals about this and describing the bird they said it never happens.

Was a large bird about 1/2 the size of a Raven and had colours like blue

I'd imagine it has something to do with birds being smarter than people.
