Everyone thinks they’re such sweet little things. Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack. Soft downy feathers and nice little wings. Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack. But there’s a poison I’d like to administer; You think they’re cuddly, but I think they’re sinister! Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack. Ducks. Ducks. Quack-quack. Quack-quack.
Damnit, now this is driving me crazy. I'm pretty sure I saw the movie/show/whatever that that's from, and I can remember seeing it, but I'm not sure what the hell it is!
(Unless it was just a very similar scene in something that I still can't remember.)
I think it's Kal Penn - he's a doctor on House, but doesn't appear on Scrubs. That's definitely not Turk from Scrubs, and I can't think of anyone else it could be.
You're right, it kind of does look vaguely like Dorian, but that's mostly the facial expression. The hair and eyebrows and shape of the nose and the skin tone are all wrong for Dorian, though.
In my experience, lots of birds will go for humans' noses, even when just being playful and/or curious. It's just a question of whether the bird you're facing at the time is large enough to really hurt you or only big enough to give you a nasty pinch.
Uh ... or small enough that instead of biting your nose like that, it reaches up and yanks out nose hairs painfully. (Parakeets do this.)
Having a duck in that position would make me a little nervous, but having a large parrot there would make me even more nervous. Or a goose. And I'm someone who knows how to communicate with birds (at least the psittacines -- I haven't spent enough time around waterfowl, raptors, and other families/orders/whatever to know whether the signals are different), though I'm a bit rusty.
Having a large parrot that close to my face, and obvious interested in my facial features would deeply alarm me. Large parrots crush nuts with those chompers. Eek.
I got bit[1] by an emu once when I was six or seven - I blamed all my woes for the next year on that. Got a headache? That's cuz of the emu bite. Itchy? Emu bite. Hospitalized for three days for the mother of all migraines (not a new experience)? Emu bite.
[1] nibbled on, really. I was feeding it crisps at the time.
