This is for real! We went to a preserve which is known for its Scrub Jays and I had read that they even liked to land on hats! Not once did I really think they would! Well they did and not once but twice almost as soon as we arrived! This is my husband and the first time it flew at him he went to swat it away and realized what he was doing! I believe that as it looked in the camera it was telling me "this is mine" and he really was saying "a bird just landed on my head!" It was awesome!

I'm gonna bump you to a 10 just for the sheer zaniness of this, and because I can. If I find out this was a stuffed bird, I'll hunt you down and tickle you until you cry uncle...

I like this image mostly. An excellent moment captured. The skin tones are a little distracting.

...10...for making my choke on my water...because I'm laughing so hard. Fantastic!

This is hilarious! The surprised expression on the man is upstaged by that cranky look that the bird has focused on the camera (and therefore the viewer, too.)
