This painting captures the startled reflex of a young girl when a bird lands on her head. Unwarranted physical contact can cause so much anxiety, even when it is something as harmless as a bird. When we are faced with unanticipated experiences, we often are immediately frightened and they can ignite irrational fears that stay with us throughout our lives. However, the bird probably did not come with any intentions to harm us, it probably thought the girl was a safe landing spot to rest.
