Seriously I've heard variations of this story for over 30 years, but have never seen any evidence. It is amazing and horrifying what people will choose to believe

He wanted me to find him a pair of olive pythons for next to nothing and refused to have anything to do with the license. He disagrees with government policies and refuses to get a license. I just said, "yeah yeah whatever"

Poisons are consumed, venoms are inject. Therefore you'd have to EAT a snake for it to POISON you.
The same applies to the bird. Unless the spurs on its wing were connected to venom glands, then i HIGHLY doubt you could be envenomated by it because it eats POISONOUS berries.
