LO and I were at the gardens we frequent and they have a sign that says:

Nesting birds may swoop
Do not be alarmed

I was wearing her in the ergo walking along and this red winged blackbird attacked my head. I mean it dug its claws into my scull and beaked/ bit/ pecked the bejesus out of me, drawing blood, while I tried to beat it off of me.

I covered LO with my other hand and got down and ran. It kept attacking me!

I found DH, quickly explained what happened and we immediately headed out of the garden. The damn bird followed us out and attacked DH!

Anyway it was actually really scary and I was surprised at how upset I was (once we got to the car). Luckily LO was okay except she was crying because it was scary.

Have you ever been attacked by a bird? Another animal?
