I got bitten!!!

[Beverly 1]

Of all things.
I have issues, woken up at 4 in the morning to hear flapping in my bedroom.
I yelled at the only culprit I could vaguely see, which was my pitch black teenage cat, Bella heading out the sliding door onto the balcony.
Still more flapping.
So I haul out of be with nothing but socks on - standard bed attire and follow her onto the balcony.
More flapping.
I reach down and pick up the flapper and low and behold, not a bat, but a bird.

So now I don't know if it is hurt, but I know it is scared.
My first instinct was to lob it over the balcony and yell "Fly away!", but then I remembered that birds are pretty useless at night, so I went back inside and got my adidas shoe box out, emptied out the papers and headed to the cupboard to find an old skydiving t-shirt to put it in.
YIKES, I felt a searing pain on my stomach and realised that the damn feisty wagtail had bitten me on my tummy!
HUMPH!!

So I put the damn thing in the box and put it in my cupboard for the remainder of the morning. It did not last long, by 5 am this morning the other birds outside were chirping much better and woke it up.
I heard it trying to get out, so i got up - put a top on (Learnt that lesson) and took it to the ledge, wanting to inspect it for any injury.
But as I lifted the lid, it flapped for the last time and flew off into the nearest tree.

Damn thing.
At this stage I was feeling hurt and I proceeded to inspect my injury.
Low and behold, I have a red mark on my tummy where it had bitten me!

So I am not sure if it was an angry teenager or a feisty PMS'ing chick, but either way I am glad it is ok.
Even if I ended up being the injured one!

The question is : Do I need a tetanis injection for getting bitten by a bird?

Did it break the skin or just bruise it?

Red mark, no blood.
Am I being a baby??

To properly assess the injury, we will need to inspect the wound closely under the same circumstances as it occured... with nothing but your socks on.

Precisely! If you cannot recreate the event accurately we may never know the answer!!

I'm sure there's more to this story, but every time I try to continue reading I find myself coming back to this sentence.
