VIDEO: Bird mascot lands on fan’s head

THE head of an unsuspecting fan became the surprise landing spot for Seattle’s mascot — a giant-clawed seahawk.

Prior to the Seahawks clash with New York, the team’s bird mascot, Taima, made life a little uncomfortable for one supporter.

Expected to return to the arm of it’s trainer who was walking around the sidelines, the bird flew off into the stands and instead decided to land on a man’s head.

After leaving a few claw marks as a parting gift, the bird proceeded to perch on another supporter’s shoulder.

Despite the incident, the man who was clawed thanked Taima with some loving pats for the honour.
