Avian flu! Avian flu!

No, really, ow. At least you look happy. (Although I’ve read your position on that.) ANYWAY. How did the bird taste?

2 Rebecca September 18, 2007 at 9:22 pm

Oh those damn birds! I fear them. Look how happy the sight of your own blood makes you, though!

3 slouching mom September 18, 2007 at 9:37 pm

Aw, jeez. Some of us are phobic about blood, y’know. Especially all close up like that.

(You look adorable in the middle photo, BTW.)

I don’t mind the blood, but the bird scares the crap out of me.

5 A Whole Lot of Nothing September 18, 2007 at 11:09 pm

Youch! No birds for me, thanks.

6 Mocha September 18, 2007 at 11:34 pm

I’m going to need to know what you did to that bird. Surely, you violated it somehow?

7 Jayne September 19, 2007 at 4:05 am

A little rice,a little curry,a nice white wine….tastes just like chicken!
Seriously though…OUCH!

That’s the thing about birds – they’re so, um, flighty.

9 Janet September 19, 2007 at 7:26 am

In the middle picture I thought the bird had pooped on you. Then I saw the close up and thought, “That bird poops red!”

Then I remembered that I haven’t had my coffee yet.

Ouch.

Of course, this is a great segue into the classic Attack of the Killer Swan story which is just begging to be told to your readers.

Just sayin’.

11 Spot the Wonder Dog September 19, 2007 at 8:16 am

Oh No! You were bitten! Now you’re going to become one of THEM!!!!

12 Vikki September 19, 2007 at 8:42 am

I think this was staged.

13 tina September 19, 2007 at 9:14 am

you and your blood are photogenic

14 amanda September 19, 2007 at 10:09 am

Does the danger increase as the color deepens?

15 Karina September 19, 2007 at 10:32 am

That’ll teach you not to mess with some strange pecker.

16 Kate September 19, 2007 at 11:06 am

Polly wanna cracker?
Polly want blood!

Was that from beak or nail?

17 the Mater September 19, 2007 at 12:21 pm

Beak.

18 Mrs. G. September 19, 2007 at 12:31 pm

You should see what the bird looks like.

19 Teryn September 19, 2007 at 1:56 pm

What did you say to him?

20 sweetney September 19, 2007 at 5:42 pm

man, you so totally pissed that bird off.

21 Jenn September 19, 2007 at 7:38 pm

Love tap?

I hear some birds are into that kind of kinky stuff.

22 Laura September 19, 2007 at 8:29 pm

ok, no more Barbarella reruns for you!

Please, please, PLEASE tell the “Attack of the Killer Swan” story!

Please!

23 Ally September 19, 2007 at 11:12 pm

Yikes! STEP AWAY FROM THE BIRDS!

24 geogirl September 20, 2007 at 4:29 am

Only white birds…no other color?

Really Jenn, that sounds a little prejudice to me. No wonder he bit you. :-)

25 Kellan September 20, 2007 at 8:43 am

That is a pretty big smile for someone that was just bitten by a bird. Save the picture to show to your kids when they get hurt and are begging for a BAND-AID! You can say, “Look here … I was really hurt, but I didn’t need a BAND-AID. I didn’t get a BAND-AID. You don’t need a B-A-N-D-A-I-D!”

26 AA September 20, 2007 at 6:11 pm

Birds freak me out… and not in a good way.

27 Woman with Kids September 20, 2007 at 7:57 pm

Ah geez… it’s just nail polish… it’s just nail polish… it’s just nail polish

Hate blood.

Oh, and, hope you’re ok!

28 moxiemomma September 20, 2007 at 8:30 pm

omg i was all set to say something witty and then i read karina’s comment and fell over dead with laughter.

29 SusieJ September 21, 2007 at 8:06 am

Ouch! I’d stay away too! Did the bird fly away after he pecked you?

30 honestyrain September 23, 2007 at 6:39 pm

the bird? dead now, right?

31 Roay September 23, 2007 at 8:22 pm

what do ya think.. it’s the Mater!

Anyways.. check out YOURmailTOtheWORLD.blogspot.com? I think it’s got a pretty good concept?

32 Jennifer September 25, 2007 at 1:27 pm

One’s life is not complete until you have scars from bird bites.

I love birds (even when they break fingers), I love the fact that you look so proud of your battle wound, and I love the fact that you included your super-duper close up of the dripping blood.

You’re awesome.
