I got it but good on the head from a fighting rooster once when I was a little kid. He was stuck on my head like helmet, just kickin' the pine tar out of my head with the spurs.

I ran under the deck and wiped him off of my head with a cross-brace. It messed him up pretty good, and my head was all scratched up. I don't know what happened to that chicken, he just went nuts.

I was also attacked once by a Canadian Goose. Apparently, I was about to step in her nest on a creekbank while trout fishing. She flew up in the air and tried to go at my head again. I whalloped her about the face and neck withtheUgly Stik. A goose is no match for an Ugly Stik. Somehow, I lost my Hustlure in the fray, so I might have stuck that in her too. Anyway, we couldn't get away from each other fast enough.

I don't know what it is with birds and my head. I'll tell ya, that rooster was stuck on my head like a helmet. He was holding on with his wings and going buck wild on my scalp. It was a real sight to see, so I've been told.
