From the misleading headline, I'd agree. Imagining a bird roosting for 3 months in your hair is insane.

The article tells another story, though. She just raised a bird. She fed it, and it slept in a box. When it was old enough to do so, it would sit on her shoulder and tug her hair around itself.

Doesn't seem like such a big deal if you read the article.
