My sweaty hair was mistaken for an actual bird's nest

[jordylee]

I finished my run today, and put my sweaty hair in a messy bun. I started walking to cool down, and a bird literally dived into my hair. TWICE. WTF. I freaked out and flailed around... of course this was right outside of Shedd aquarium so there were tons of tourists looking at me like  . I think this means that my hair is a disgusting bird's nest for real.

I have quite the image of this in my mind! Too funny.

OMG you poor thing!

If it makes you feel better in a "it's not just you" sense, there has been a history of divebombing birds on the museum campus.

That is exactly the kind of bird it was! I run there all the time and have never been attacked before. Usually I just get hissed at by geese!

Oh, I love red-winged blackbirds! ::disclaimer- I've never been dive-bombed by one::

LOL, this has happened to me before. Except the bird that dive bombed me pooped on my head as well. I had to wash my hair out in the bathroom at the local park. That was fun.

Oh my goodness! That is hilarious.

I laughed. I'm sorry, but I did. Great story!

LMFAO! Sorry! I got dive bombed a couple years ago along North Ave beach. And it hurt!!! Took me by surprise, and I was so startled, like "did that for reals just happen?!" Chitown birds have some balls.
