"You are being shagged by a rare parrot"

Saw this on splodefromcute, fell over laughing, had to repost.

Hey, if a kakapo tried to jump me, I would probably just sit there helplessly hoping someone would remove him gently, too. Kaya and Gavin had best not try it, though. (Although I wonder sometimes if Gavin is actually a hen. Planning on having him tested next vet visit and I will let y'all know).

He actually said it didn't, just surprised the heck out of him. The leather shoulder pads (and a helmet) were apparently standard protective gear with this bird, and they took the full brunt of the talon-clenching.

The poor camera guy actually came off worse, both for sheer embarrassment and wounds. The eagle, at least, had the decency to not look like he was ENJOYING it so damned much. ;>
