2. +1000

That bird could have pecked his pitching arm off, to say nothing about the razor sharp talons digging into his shoulder....

I'd still be running and screaming.

4. That bird was domesticated

See the falconer's tie on his leg? Probably an injured bird that cannot return to the wild.

8. See that piece of food the bird grabbed on the guy's neck?

That was a set up video. The bird would not have landed on a prey like that, would not have attacked something that big. He flew in and perched and grabbed the bait. Watch it closely.

5. If only it had been an osprey.

"Seattle Mariner attacked by Seattle seahawk"

On edit:
Oops, looks like it's not a Seattle bird , in any case. It was a home game for the Twins.
