This reminds me of that video of the news anchor who was holding a rooster on his arm and it started to freak out. He got scared and ran away with his arms in the air.

The closer they get, the spookier they get. Giant talons, wicked sharp beak, and that flipping noise!! Omg run for your lives!!

Oh god I feel so bad for laughing so hard. That poor bird just wanted to show you he can do it and gets smacked across the room. I truly hope this incident didn't kill his trust with you or hurt him too terribly. Good luck op and maybe be a little more open to a bird landing on you. Hope your birdy is okay

I had a cockateil too, once they start trusting you they will never leave your side. I used to work with my bird perched on my shoulder, and he used to sleep by my side too.

This FML Is for the bird.

You don't deserve a bird

OP it'll be ok! If it happened unexpectedly and it truly was the first time I understand being frightened. This is especially true if you were working on some other task at the same time. I'm sure your bird will learn to trust you again. Don't give up!

Wtf this is a repost

Poor bird! Seriously though, I hope he's okay.

Well is the bird okay? ?
