Symbolism of the Heron--a heron landed on my head today XD

Elo there, I'm someone that deeply believes that coincidences aren't just coincidences and everything that happens in the physical realm have spiritual significance and was wondering what people feel this means?

I volunteer at a nature center where we have alot of rehabilitated animals to be released but the animals outside in the part where I work are unreleasable for one reason or another but today even though I only care for the owls at one point I go through an enclosure with a duck and a heron. I usually never notice the heron much...Today the heron looked at me strangely; crest poofed up, neck stretched out towards me watching me with it's bright red eyes and it flew to the nearest branch towards me and flew atop my head and was just flapping his wings trying to balance on my head while I screamed then started laughing I put my arms up to try to get him on that instead and he perched on my arm for a bit; then back to my head flapping to gain balance..this all lasted about a minute...as soon as people came up to see what the commotion was about he flew off of me but I found it all very interesting and amusing. At first I was certain he was attacking me for food or something which was apparently not the case by the end as he was already fed for the day (he didn't finish it) and he had no interest in anything I was carrying; just in perching on me. What is your experience with symbolism of the heron-it was a black crowned night heron. I suppose I was mostly wondering how you would read this if it were a dream?

Side note..I used to have lots of birds and an aviary in my room where I left the door wide open and they could fly about even I was sleeping and one time I got home very sick from the hospital after a minor surgery feeling like throwing up and plopped into bed feeling horrible after a min or two one of my cockatiels actually the "feisty" one who would peck you if you even touched her landed on my head and settled into it and when she did I felt all of my nausea and sickness go away instantly and I fell asleep. Maybe he had some intention like that today? Not sure..but was kind of cool to experience especially from a "wild" creature. XD
