‘The hair on the back of your head is standing up,’ ‘Fox and Friends’ host Brian Kilmeade Said after the incident involving Doocy on live.

Fox News broadcast journalist Peter Doocy works before White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt arrives for the daily briefing in the Brady Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on March 11, 2025.

In an unexpected twist during a live broadcast, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy found himself the target of an uninvited guest—a pigeon. While delivering a report on President Trump’s latest tariff plans for “Fox & Friends” on April 11, 2025, Doocy was interrupted when a pigeon landed directly on his head. The incident occurred just as the show transitioned back to studio hosts Ainsley Earhardt, Lawrence Jones, and Brian Kilmeade, leaving both the anchors and viewers momentarily stunned.

Doocy, visibly startled, exclaimed, “A bird just landed on my head!” as he ducked to avoid the bird, which briefly flew away but quickly circled back, causing further commotion. Holding a pen in one hand and using the other to shoo off the bird, Doocy added, “I did not like that at all.”

The studio hosts responded with a mix of concern and humor. Kilmeade remarked, “Your head is standing up now. What’s going on?” while Jones joked, “I mean, you got good hair.” Earhardt added, “That had to be scary,” to which Jones agreed, “That is probably so dirty.”

Doocy took the incident in stride, humorously suggesting that President Trump and the National Park Service should address the bird problem. “Hey! President Trump, if you’re watching upstairs, we’ve got to do something about … .”

The segment concluded with Kilmeade expressing concern that the bird might have the flu, and Doocy jokingly requesting, “Can we get the shampoo guy …
