They are called sunbirds I think.. You say you want one. Then they all fly over to you and start to attack you. You got one with a death-bite on your ear, one trying to get in your shirt, and a bunch nibbling on your fingers.
The one that had my ear, a staff member said, got really vicous at asactly 5:00 everday. The other ones were not really but, just kind nibbling. But the one on my ear! It was on there for at least 10 minutes (after 5 minutes it switched ears). I was tried to get it off but didn't want to hurt it, but I did manage to get its beak off me once, without taking out a chunk of my ear with him, but then it made a grab with its claw and stayed on as I pulled him away. I just said the heck with it and let everyone laugh at me because he was eating my ear.
Yea..kinda pointless post.. but just wondering if anyone else has had bad experiences with birds? (This was at the Avairy in Busch Gardens)
