STOCKHOLM , Sweden, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- A Stockholm, Sweden, man was forced to get veterinary assistance when a mysterious parrot took up a position on his head and refused to budge.

Catharina Nordin of Stockholm Police said the bird "came out of nowhere" Monday and attached itself to the head of the man, whose name was not released, The Local reported Tuesday.

The man and his wife sought assistance from the local animal hospital after their own attempts at removing the bird from the man's head failed.

It was unknown Tuesday whether the incident caused any injuries to the man or the bird.
