Well, you sure don't see this every day.

A hawk hitched a ride on a car in Los Angeles — and didn't deboard for 15 minutes.

"Get off my car," the driver is heard screaming in video of the bizarre incident. "Are we giving him a ride? What is happening?"

The bird stares straight into the eyes of the startled driver. And a man riding by on an electric scooter even tries to shoo the animal away. But it doesn't budge.

Rebecca Hobbs, who was driving the car, spoke out about her close encounter.

"We were screaming. It was the craziest situation. ... I had to drive very slowly," Hobbs said, joking that she gave an Uber ride to a bird.
