debbier Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'll agree with the red nail varnish warnings, and a wing flapping in the eye really made my eye water once! Mine go ga-ga over prunes as well as grapes (they are a lot easier to put the worming powder on as they are so sticky!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikiranf Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I was holding Lulu and telling her what a lovely girl she was and she was looking at me very intently & then she pecked my bottom lip She put all mud in my mouth and I had funny little spots appearing on the inside of my lip for weeks after, perhaps she thought it was a big fat slug DH had grazed his leg in the summer & Mimi took a peck at the scab DH wasn't too happy but I said he couldn't blame her as it did look like he had a sultana on his leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batcatz Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I was hit in the face by my Columbian blacktail's wings. When I picked her up to put her in the coop she flapped her wings really hard so she could perch on my fingers. Quite sweet really, but I happened to be leaning over her at the time. Next day it took me a while to realise why my eyes were both so puffy. I was expecting a black eye, but it didn't come, thank goodness. .... and that's why I named her Bianca, from Eastenders as she is a reddy brown and nearly gave me a black eye. She's actually very lovely, sweet, but a bit naughty too. She had me chasing her round the garden today as she decided to run away instead of crouch for me.

Sarahsausage Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 When I first got my girls one of them pecked my lip, it ended up swollen, i felt a right idiot! When I'm crouching down doing some gardening, Betty and Gladys like to stand next to me pecking at my legs and bum, doesn't hurt though, I find it really funny and sweet as they do it for ages! Little bullies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little bullies! I always think they are looking for treats in my pocket when they do that pecking around you. It's really sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 When I'm crouching down doing some gardening, Betty and Gladys like to stand next to me pecking at my legs and bum I'm glad you said that, I thought I was the only one who had suffered the indignity of having their bottom pecked whilst bending over to rake out the run.
