Scratched cornea, thanks Bingo

[texsize]

It was an accident but it doesn’t make it feel better.

Bingo was sitting next to me , his wing resting against my cheek.
Suddenly had an itch and whipped his head around and hit my left eye with his beak.

I don’t know how I am going to get him to keep more distance.
He sits like that when he’s not feeling good.
We comfort each other..

Oh Wes I'm sorry that happened to you. I've been flicked in the eye by a wing any number of times but have been lucky so far not to have been injured. Of course now that I've actually gone and said it ...

Did he at least apologize?

Been there, but not with the birds. My daughter was a toddler and I was holding her. She saw something out the window and pointed and said "Look!" Caught my eye with those razor sharp baby finger nails and removed a 1x4 mm chunk off the cornea. One of the most painful things I've ever experienced. How I managed to not scream four letter expletives and drop her, I do not know. I feel for you, Wes.

Did he at least apologize?

I’m waiting but not holding my breath.
Despite trying he won’t keep his distance.

Dang, Wes, dang. Sorry.
Of course, Bingo is waiting for YOUR apology...
