Ever been pecked by a goose?

[phil]

i got pecked the other day. It bloody hurt, it was weird feeling their strange tounge on my finger 2.

[Mui]

nar, but I've been bitten by a cockatoo.....bastard things have wicked hooked beaks and all, hurt like buggery

[baba]

I get licked by the bunny quite a lot which is sometimes a bit wierd. She goes overboard on my earlobe at times and it makes me shudder. Too licky.

I've been pecked on the finger by an Emu or an Ostrich at West Midlands Safari Park once

I was pretty young , but i remember learning a quick lesson about unexpected aggression , plus the feeling of humiliation after the loud snap and me being naive enough to put my finger in the cage , which they tell you not to do... Respect warning signs in zoos kids

[actionjetzon]

hahaha, naughty child

Phil , that weird sensation of the goose tongue on your finger ... I was walking through Churchill Square with a hangover once , and a pigeon got startled and flew up suddenly - it kind of slapped my face with its wing .. yep , it was like a soft, feathery yet utterly unsavoury slap , leaving behind uncanny echoes on my cheeks nerve endings ... any other brushes with wildfowl?

[grobelaar]

Some years ago, while walking through the market square in Nottingham on a particularly blustery day. I saw some chip papers fly up and hit some poor woman in the face - the paper seem to take on a life of their own as they wrapped around her face, like some sort of bizarre alien face hugger. It took more than a few moments for the poor to brush aside her unexpectant assailant, at which point it became clear why the papers had remained in place so well - curry sauce - yeaaaargh...

[phil]

that was funny!!

A goose bit my arse when i was retrieving a frisbee aged 5. I hate them with their honking and hissing and snakey necks and aggression and stupidity. When my dad came to kill them for Christmas I held them down for him to chop their heads off with relish.

...might be better with horseradish :( soz

[owain_k]

No wildfowl incidents as such....but, i did manage to get "butted" in the arse by a goat whislt fetching a lost frisbee when i was about 6....now that was painful !

yes...
i was about 8, and a mallard duckling was being pecked to death by a white mother of several yellow ducklings (after apparently losing it's own mother).
I was a silly selfish child at the time, and unthinkingly drove off the attacker, and lifted the frightened duckling from the water. i held her close to me, and put her on my shoulder, inside my long hair, and she made a 'peep peep' noise and nibbled my hair.
Naturally, I took her home, and told my mom that the duckling had followed me, after being attacked. Mum didn't believe me, but she didn't tell me that! She said we could look after her and feed her until she got her flight feathers...she came everywhere with us...to the shops, to the river, fishing, up to the tree house, and as the river was behind our house, i took her there swimming every day.
She always 'peeped' loudly and ran straight out of the water and followed me whenever i moved out of sight of the river-bank.
One early spring day, whilst i was at school, she found her own way to the river, and hopefully hooked up with a handsome mallard male.
I was sad to see her go, but as she was wild at heart, our surrogacy had ended, and I always imagined her that year, with a small brood of ducklings and Mr. Mallard close by.

i always used to ride on our dog when i was around 5 or so, until he unseat me and i bashed my head heavy on our chimney...but also no wildfowl incidents i remember

[phil]

hehehehe.........>purple shit is very strange.

My family kept chickens -which I hated - not only did they chase me around the garden and scare me but also i am allergic to eggs so they were not much good.
One day - one of them got ill and all the others started pecking at it until it got really damaged and its innards started to fall out of its stomach - really nasty. so my mum and i decided we had to kill it to put it out of its pain. we didn't know how to do it properly- so she held it down while i tried to drop a garden gnome on its head - several times as it just wouldn't die -it seemed to go on for hours. The two of us became more and more hysterical and crying mixed with wierd crazed laughing... as the blood splattered on the concrete path. I can see those blood splats so clearly right now in my minds eye. oh god!

[pille'ocheoni]

oh my god, i havent laughed likethat in a long while.........what did you do with the little gnome?/:)lol

[baba]

I can't remember - it was a concrete gnome that my Grandad made - he made gnomes as a hobby from these latex mould kits. he would spend hours in his shed painting their little red hats and green jackets. There were always loads of them around. God, isn't it strange - i haven't thought about those gnomes during my entire adult life but its all flooding back. There were 'snow white' princess gnomes too. maybe its a wierd suburban Essex thing

[phil]

where in essex r you baba?

[tsr_tomas]

i´ve been pushed/kicked by a cow in northen finland at the age of 5-6. it hurt bad.

[baba]

I'm not in Essex anymore Phil, I'm in Bristol although sometimes I am aware of the Essex still in me.

I was brought up in a village called Birch about six miles from Colchester. There is a big heath in Birch where many geese go a roaming and hissing so I wouldn't recommend it.

one of my friends friend got bit by a goose on his finger. the funny/crazy thing was that on that finger was a ring which got bent by the bite and it had to be sawed off to remove it.

[pille'ocheoni]

i had a friend have a cock roach burough in his ear while he was sleeping a while back, and had to go to the doctor and yank that mf out

[gunjack]

no! : X

[piscaries]

i've never been pecked by a goose, however i have had a toucan beak stuck in my forehead... it's a very odd but true story. and to make it a bit more interesting... the rest of the bird was not attatched to the beak!

[Sheridan]

WEAK!! man you can't just keep us hanging.
tell us what happened!

[deccard]

i never had sex with animals.

[Lady E]

yes piscaries - TELL US!

[tsr_tomas]

@deccard: good to know.

[phil]

i got bitten by a cat twice today on the face.

[Marolo]

cats should know better

[Jeniffer Mills]

I got pecked by my neighbours budgie the other day...Even worse, the little bastard also shat on me!!!!!!

[WON'T DO IT]

A lama once spat in my face... i think it was a lama - i was very young and the emotional scar has now healed.
Aso a 10 day old puppy pissed in my hand the other day.

[WON'T DO IT]

Oh and i also bit a worm when i was about 8.
(but i don't condone animal cruelty, someone had told me if you cut it in half both halves wriggle off seperately)

[Phil]

[bitch one]

i got chased by an angry goose at the weekend, nearly got pecked but i was too fast for him
