Not viciousness, just curiosity. Still don't make it hurt less.

Their beak comes down at the right angle, and its just like a papercut!
Oh... that makes sense. I thought they were going for your jugular!!!

Okay, the eyeballs thing totally lost me. If they're running along the edge, how are your eyeballs even remotely close to them???

A hard beak can cause a bit of pain if it hits you just right... ouchie!

Started to suggest dog nail clippers, but a rasp will work just fine on those beaks...

One of my Cream Legbars, Paula, was a solo chick for a week, until some buddies arrived. So we have a particularly pet-like bond (since she liked to watch TV with me). She loved to sit on my shoulder, which appealed to me. When she was approaching POL, she suddenly decided that my eyeballs and lips were clearly big versions of mealworms. (She also decided my fingers looked tasty.) Never got an eye injury, but got two bloody lips before I figured out that no matter how sweet she was, NO FINGERS, NO FACE TIME. I still have to remember when it comes to the occasional cuddle time - NEVER within beak-reach of the lips!!!!

Owwww!!!!!

Edit to add: I mentioned it on BYC, and someone thought I had a vicious pullet. I had to explain that she was just curious!
