Kicked by Aunties horse's regular, she had a stud and did the show jumping, cross country stuff - hate horses lol.
Head butted by the goats everytime I collected the eggs.
Chased and bitten, wing slapped by the geese when feeding - that stings
Head butted by a Tamworth sow with newborn piglets - I just didn't know she'd had them till she butted me
Only dog to bite was a Springer with a brain tumor that needed to go to vets - I drew the short straw!
Parrots by the bucket full, bitten, wing clipped, clawed worst was a Molluccan cockatoo aged about 45 decided I should stroke him not feed him when he turned his head upside down- split my lip right thru with lower mandabil - only 1 side too, then upper bill went thru my wisdom tooth and split it and up into my face - tooks wks of dental and maxiofacial surgery to put that back together.

Reptiles been bitten by bearded adult male looked like I'd tried to cut my thumb off lol. Royals, corns, 1 common boa, never by my hognose thankfully AND got bitten once by a feckin locust, needless to say that one became dinner!

Think the Molluccan was the worst

Did they headbutt you to try and let you know they dont lay eggs?

countless snake bites..from babies through to adults
countless hampster and gerbil bites evil creatures!
quite a few scratches and bites from one of our old cats
parrot bites senegal and conure
bitten by a young iggy (actually hurt a fair bit! lol)
my english bull terrier bit the back of my leg once straight through my jeans! that smarted a fair bit!! (me and the other half were playfighting and she didnt think we were playing! my fault entirely!)
few good scratches from various larger lizards....ummm thats about it for me lol...99% were pretty trivial and also 99% my own fault!

oh there is one more! i slipped over on the laminate flooring in front room about 5 years ago and smacked my head on the radiator...all due to my english bull terrier peeing on it! i then chased her outside (no shoes) she went out of the gate...i proceeded to open the gate with my foot! little did i know the catch had closed!!! and i broke the toe next to my big toe! and now cant move it at all!

bitten by jack russell and a collie - my dog the JR got in a fight and I went in with my arms when i was a kid

trampled by one of my horses and left with a haemotoma in my thigh (still there, it happened about 4 years ago)

kicked in the face when a stallion reared and struck out at me

broken neck, pony went arse over tit in a ditch during a gallop on a grass verge when i was a kid

legs skinned from inner thigh to ankle when pony fell on top of me and slid me across a road as a kid

torn groin muscle (possibly the most painful thing ever!) after pony decided he didn't want to finish the jumping and threw me off over his head

usual being trodden on/bitten/kicked
