I just dont understand people sometimes. I was slicing some avocado the other day and it reminded me of this incredibly stupid cockatiel owner I met a long time ago.
She was complaining about her bird being loud and I asked what kind and told her I had a bunch of birds. We got talking about stuff they shouldn't eat when she mentioned how much her bird loved soda ( !!! )
Anyways, I went through the list and when I got to avocado she got very excited saying she loved avocado and hadn't had any in a very long time. I agreed that it was good and she was like hey I'll bet the bird would like it. I explained, AGAIN, that it was actually poisonous and she said oh.. well I bet he'd really like it though. I said well it won't matter much if he likes it because he'll be dead after he eats it since it's poisonous. She said oooh, well I guess I better only give him a really small piece...
At this point I just said I hoped she wouldn't feed him anything poisonous, suggested she get a book on bird care and walked away, wishing I hadn't even mentioned the word avocado, or spoken to her in the first place.
She wasn't kidding.. she was dead serious, this woman appeared to be the origin of all blonde jokes.
