Lol: Peter Doocy Is All of Us After Bird Lands on His Head During White House Live Shot

Having just written a lengthy, sentimental Caregiver's Diary entry on the VIP side about birds and bird feeders, our winged friends are top of mind for me at the moment, which seems fitting when one considers an eye-opening moment that happened on the Fox News channel Friday morning.

During a live "Fox and Friends" broadcast, the network's senior White House correspondent, Peter Doocy, was just helping wrap up a segment on the latest Trump tariff news and a Truth Social post from the president about how Mexico allegedly owes Texas water thanks to a 1944 water treaty when a somewhat large bird briefly landed on Doocy's head.

Doocy was understandably shocked and even more so after the bird flew back around and made a second attempt.

The back-and-forth exchange between Doocy and the chuckling "Fox and Friends" co-hosts was hilarious:

“A bird just landed on my head!” Doocy yelled as the bird flew at him again, causing him to duck.

Earhardt and her co-hosts Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones started laughing at their colleague as he said, “I did not like that at all!”

“The back of your head, your hair is standing up now,” Kilmeade commented as Jones added, “You got good the hair, dude.”

“That is probably so dirty,” Doocy added as his co-workers continued to find amusement in the situation.

Doocy then jokingly put out a call to Trump "to do something about these birds!" wondering, "Where's the park service? They're always out here sweeping the street and blowing, except when the birds are landing on my head." He later called for the "shampoo guy" to lend a hand.

His colleague, anchor David Asman, quipped on the Twitter/X machine that competitor network sabotage could be at play in the unfortunate incident:

Though Doocy appeared to be okay once all was said and done, a close-up shot of the video shows just how scary it was. Imagine if bird poop landed on your head or, worse, one of the more aggressive ones tried to scrach your eyes out?

Though it's unclear whether Trump will "do something about these birds," one thing Doocy may enjoy doing later if he so desires is washing his hair under a showerhead with stronger water pressure, something Trump made great again on Wednesday with the signing of his "Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in Showerheads" executive order. It's an EO Trump said "restores" the "shower freedom" taken away from the American people during the Obama-Biden years.

"The Order frees Americans from excessive regulations that turned a basic household item into a bureaucratic nightmare. No longer will showerheads be weak and worthless," the White House fact sheet on the EO noted.

The full order can be read here. Meanwhile, thoughts and prayers to Doocy at this difficult time...

President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE are bringing much-needed accountability to our out-of-control government as they take a chainsaw to rampant waste, fraud, and abuse.
