Bird settles on pilgrim’s head during Haj rites

Published
By YouTube

A bird appeared to have spontaneously responded to calls for performing rituals during Haj (pilgrimage) in Saudi Arabia last week as it settled fearlessly on a pilgrim’s head.

A one-minute YouTube film showed the bird appeared undisturbed by thousands of Muslim pilgrims performing Haj in the western Saudi town of Makkah as it rested on the head of a pilgrim wearing a traditional Moslem hat.

A pilgrim said he used his mobile phone to shoot the film which showed the unknown pilgrim was not annoyed by the presence of a bird on his head.
