In a moment of unexpected comedy, Fox News’ White House correspondent Peter Doocy became the center of attention during a live Fox & Friends segment—not for his political insight, but thanks to an uninvited feathered guest.
As Doocy wrapped up a serious discussion on tariffs, a bird suddenly swooped in from behind and landed directly on his head, much to the amusement of the Fox & Friends hosts and viewers alike.
The incident unfolded just as the hosts were thanking Doocy for his report. Without warning, the bird made its entrance, perching itself momentarily on Doocy’s head. The stunned correspondent ducked and attempted to shoo it away while laughing in disbelief.
“A bird just landed on my head,” he exclaimed, chuckling as he glanced off-camera. “What is going on?”
The bird wasn’t done, either. It continued to fly around Doocy, stealing the spotlight from the normally buttoned-up broadcast.
Studio hosts Brian Kilmeade, Janice Dean, and others burst into laughter, watching the unexpected chaos unfold.
“The back of your head—your hair is standing up now,” Kilmeade joked.
Still in disbelief, Doocy responded, “That is probably so dirty.“
Doocy Jokes About Birds—and Presidential Help
Always quick with a quip, Doocy used the moment to address an unlikely audience:
“President Trump, if you’re watching upstairs, we got to do something about these birds.”
He continued, sarcastically pointing out the absence of the usual cleanup crew:
“Where is the park service? They’re always out here in the street blowing stuff away—except when birds are landing on my head!”
Kilmeade chimed in with a dry remark: “I hope it didn’t have the flu.”
Not missing a beat, Doocy added, “Great. Can we get some shampoo guy down here?”
Social Media Reacts to the Viral Moment
The clip quickly went viral after host Janice Dean posted it to Instagram, captioning it:
“‘A bird just landed on my head!’ I’m amazed at how calm Peter was—and his hair still looks good.”
Doocy’s good-humored reaction and the studio’s uncontrollable laughter turned what began as a serious news segment into an internet-worthy moment of levity.
The bird may have disrupted the segment, but it certainly delivered one of the most memorable—and hilarious—moments of the week in live television.
