I was attacked by a pheasant yesterday.
I kid you not - I was out walking, and in the middle of nowhere I saw this cock pheasant strutting around. Really nice looking bird so I stopped. He came closer and closer until he was just an inch or two from my foot.
Anyway, I walked on, and the damned bird followed me, paralleling the path. After about 400 yards it attacked me! Must have been on its territory, but it is way outside breeding season. I kicked it and it had another go. Kicked it again - no luck the damned bird came on. Eventually I too a real soccer kick at it, and it decided I was going to fight back and gave up.
Forget the parrot, try taking on something the size of a pheasant! At 0 degrees C.
