SFist: Photo du Jour 68

Those parrots are evil. One time, much to delight of the annoying tourists that stalk these malevolent creatures, one of the fledglings flew over and landed on my shoulder. The thing seemed harmless enough until it clamped its horrid beak down on my ear. I was able to dislodge it from the side of my head, rather calmly considering the searing pain, but not without letting it clamp down on my finger. It broke skin, there was blood everywhere. Good thing parrots don't carry rabies. I'd send Michaela Alioto-Pier out to round them all up.

They're oh so cute and squawky, but they're also an invasive species and should be either culled or controlled.

(which I realize is 99% likely not going to happen)

Humans are an invasive species that should be culled or controlled.

I know which species *I* would rather see culled/controlled.

Angry Young Man: forgive me, but your post cracked me up. The visual was quite entertaining (but I've been bitten also, although my injury was not quite on your level).
