I got bit by a bird

When my family was at Disney World we stopped to eat lunch by the river. Burgers and french fries as I recall. This guy was on the tables eating fries and anything he could steal. As he walked past me I reached out to pet him, and he confused one of my fingers for a french fry and took a bite, youch. Seemed funny at the time and got me laughing for a while.
Anyone else get bit by the wildlife in your area?

Moccasin, they have no control over them.

An alligator ate a young boy at Disney a few years ago!

I got attacked by a rooster once while photographing him, and he cut the hell out of my shins with his spurs. Check them out on the download.

Yes, that is funny. "Step right up and see the man with French Fry Fingers!"

That happened to me once. I killed the rooster...my grandmother wasn't happy. She was less happy with the language I used to describe the encounter.

We'd be having fried chicken for dinner.

I got butted by a big sheep once while taking its picture. He knocked me down, and bent the lens hood on my Hassy. Otherwise, no harm.

I felt somewhat responsible because I asked the owner to let him out of his cage so I didn't have to shoot through the fence. I never considered he would attack me.

Yeah me. I said "Haha, didn't even feel it!" A humming bird attacked me when I went out to get the feeder to clean it and refill it. I guess he didn't want me messing with his food! He picked the sleeve of my shirt about 30 times and then poked or bit my neck a few times. I couldn't keep from laughing at the thought of attacking something that much bigger! Maybe he read about David and Goliath.
