A VET has revealed the dealbreaker pet that they refuse to work on.
They explained that they’re sure the animals are evil after many negative experiences.
Redditor DrMarie shared the pet testimonial in a viral post.
The animal hospital vet explained that she mostly sees cats and dogs at her job.
In her 12 years of experience, however, she’s never had good experiences with birds.
“I focus mainly on cats and dogs, and I see the odd pocket pet (hamster, guinea pig, etc.),” she said.
“I’m trained in farm animals, but it’s been years since I’ve touched one.
“An animal that I absolutely WILL NOT work on is a bird,” she admitted.
“I have had far too many bad experiences with birds.”
The exasperated vet detailed her many un-pheasant bird encounters.
“I’ve had a pigeon crush my thumb, a harrier hawk land on my head, a swan attack me, a goose scar me, a flock of crows divebomb me, and a macaw bite my cheek,” she said.
The vet explained that she could only take so much before swearing off the pet for good.
“Birds are evil. Or maybe they just have a thing against me,” she said.
Many agreed that birds were seedy little creatures.
“Exactly, man. F**king dinosaurs with feathers. But how does a pigeon crush your thumb? With a tiny hammer?” asked one commenter.
Other curious viewers inquired about her thumb-crushing experience.

“Can you perhaps expand on the thumb-crushing pigeon?” asked another.
“Are you made of paper? How did a pigeon crush your thumb?”
Marie said that people don’t understand how much of a bird-en being a vet can be unless it happens to them.
“You’ve obviously never had a bird attached to your thumb. It is not pleasant,” Marie replied.
“It latched on to the little area of skin just where my thumb attaches to the rest of my hand and would not let go.”
Thankfully for Marie, she had the privilege of being able to deny her services when she pleased.
“I work in a big city where there are lots of vets who specialize in birds, so yes, I can refuse to see them,” she explained.
