Wondering if anyone can opine on this behavior. I am in a college town in Northwest Georgia. It’s a quiet neighborhood with a fair amount of wildlife includjng deer that hang out in our yard.
This afternoon a bird friend flew into my workshop (open air, not indoors). I thought it was hanging out surprisingly close to me, then it kept coming even closer. My kids came out to see it and it hopped on the five year old’s head and just sat there for a few seconds until casually flying over to land on a piece of wood. Later, the bird flew over and gently landed on the other kid’s head and casually sat there chilling out.
Fearing something might be wrong, we decided to give the bird some space but the bird seems really attracted to people, hanging out right outside our window looking in, and surprising me by landing on my head when I walked outside to see if was still around.
It didn’t seem aggressive, but definitely strangely comfortable with and attracted to humans.
Has anyone seen similar behavior, or have an idea of what this could be?
