All of **hillbilly queen’s** except the spider and the horse. Also, mice and a gerbil. I frequently got bitten by pigeons during a stint a in a behavior lab. This does not hurt. I always thought they could really do some damage if they tried pecking or scratching instead, but they never did. ---

I’ve been bitten by pretty much everything listed (I still have the scar on the web between my thumb and index finger from the time I was five and decided to play with our new pet gerbil) but I’ve also been bitten by an endanged species, the Brown Pelican, which is kinda cool. (plus, I was once kicked by a mule, does that count?) ---
