‘I did not like that at all!’ Peter Doocy gets personal intro to White House wildlife during live shot

While Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy may expect attacks from Democrats, he was wholly unprepared for DC wildlife to get up close and personal.

Doocy was doing a live hit from the White House lawn for “Fox & Friends” when a winged crusader opted to make its national debut by making the reporter’s head its own personal perch. The bird landed right on top of Doocy’s head, prompting him to duck for cover.

“A bird just landed on my head,” a shocked Doocy shouted. “I did not like that at all!”

Doocy’s Fox News colleagues got a good laugh at his expense, though he handled the situation like a real pro.

“That is probably so dirty,” Doocy said later, before making a direct appeal to President Donald J. Trump.

“President Trump, if you are watching upstairs, we got to do something about these birds,” he said. “Where is the park service? They are always out here in the street and blowing except when the birds are landing on my head.”

Social media users appreciated Doocy being a good sport about the incident — here’s a quick sampling of responses from X:

I am just sorry that his father @SteveDoocy is off today …I don’t blame Peter at all and my reaction would have been worse

@pdoocy at least the bird didn’t shit on your head. I have been shit on by a bird 3 times, and I don’t own any birds. Twice on my leg and once on my head. Yeah, people say it is good luck to be shot on by a bird, I don’t know about that. So maybe pray for that bird to shit on…
