We all know snakes will bite. No surprise there.
First...
Thank you for allowing me to put up all those posts. I'm done now.

And yes I've been "pinched" twice.
Once by "Chatty Boy" the young raven I video'd at Logan Pass.

And Clyde pinched me for the first time in 4 years last weekend.
Yeah, it hurts and neither was "trying hard".
They "explore" using that all purpose Swiss Army Knife of a bill.
The trouble is they are incredibly strong birds and it doesn't take much effort on their part to break skin.

Quite a bite! Be careful of the beaks. Hard to tell when a bird is annoyed.....they can't frown or smile. So out of the blue they will sometimes just attack for no apparent reason.
The mountains are calling and I must go.
