Giant Bird Attack

I was smacked in the face by a stork at a bird show this weekend. Thankfully it hit the camera first. I received some scratches on my arm. The camera banged my face so hard my nose hurt for 2 days and I also had 3 days worth of headaches. But I am okay now, just a heavily bruised ego :)

And yes, that is once again me screaming while being attacked by wildlife. This time it sounds more like the Howard Dean scream if you ask me.

For anyone wondering about the bird, it was a marabou stork. They are from Africa and are wadding birds. Its 3.2 m (10.5 ft) wingspan is the largest wingspan of any landbird.

that was really cool! did U get hit by its feet, or what? I really hope you've gotten a HD video camera since than event; it would be like hollywood stuff!

@H3LIOTROP3 it was his feet hanging down, lazy bird lol. I have since bought an HD cam, this was actually just the video on a point and shoot cam. He might have damaged a larger cam though lol
