I went back and looked. I see the hat plain as day now. It looked like wild hair, but relooking at it I don't see how I saw hair! Sorry Kirby. It still looks great.

Hey don't you guys know what grass looks like?? He has grass growing out of his head. IF it IS a hat it is one of those made from palm fronds but I still sat grass.HaHaHa
He is looking cool either way, no matter what you put on his head.
