OUCH!!!!!!!

Boy, that must hurt, Christina. Good thing it was only a parakeet, and not a larger parrot.

A really stupid girl I knew was taunting the parakeet that she and her boyfriend had in their apartment. She once stuck out her tongue at the bird (which was inside its cage, cursing her), and it siezed the opportunity brilliantly and bit her HARD right on the end of her extended tongue! This elicited a gratifying shriek from the girl, and was probably the high point of the week as far as the parakeet was concerned. They hated each other, those two. I'm thinking it was probably the boyfriend's bird, not hers. I hope so, anyway.
