Bird. It’s a bird. The airline doesn’t need to know what kind of bird. Just that it’s a bird.

[-] GreyJolly@lemmy.world 90 points 1 year ago

Watch me try to bring my pet Ostrich on a plane

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

That’s a flightless bird.

So before takeoff are the people who direct you to your seat the flightless attendants?

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That’s the word

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Still a bird!

I wonder if flightless bird would react negatively to being on a plane and being able to see that they are flying, or if they would "remember instinctually" that their ancestors could fly.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

A bird capable of flight, which had its feathers clipped to keep it from escaping, looking out the window going "This is bullshit."

It's an emotional support animal!

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

It's a lithium ion battery phoenix. Is that going to be a problem

[-] SARGEx117@lemmy.world 97 points 1 year ago

This is not how birbs should fly.

Air travel is cruel to the animals sitting in the lower decks.

In other news, I once though a customer asked if I wanted to see his banana, when he was trying to ask if we sold banana seats for a bicycle.

It was an awkward exchange.

"Banana, see it?!" Points at crotch

Edit: A lady once came and sat down next to me at a bar. My first thought was that she was a lady of the night, and for some reason my assumption felt solidified when she in broken english asked; "do you like bananas?".

"Not particularly", I said, "do you?" "YES", she responded, with a cheerful smile. She then proceeded to pull 4 bananas out of her purse.

I ate one.

Alarm! Alarm!

[-] Nougat@kbin.social -3 points 1 year ago

Seems like it would be especially simple to inject a banana with something that you would not want to ingest.

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The thought struck me, but my gut feeling told me it was fine. I was young and naive at the time, though. I feel confident I wouldn't have accepted that banana today.

Edit: I think it was the absurdity of the situation that put me at ease. "If she wants to drug me, why bananas..", was my thinking.

[-] psivchaz@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

Let this be a lesson to future criminals: if you want to dose someone, put it in something absurd to lower their guard.

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The likely hood of a banana filled with semen is not zero

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Air travel is cruel to the animals sitting in the lower decks.

But preferable to abandoning them.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, a banana. The type you sit on

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 66 points 1 year ago

I'm sure this won't stress the bird out so much it rips out all of its own feathers like a psychopath.

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 year ago

The name of that user is very disturbing. Translates to "Perineum pie" from Finnish

[-] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago
[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Grundle gingersnap?

[-] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Best part of the pig!

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

gooch hooch?

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I was just thinking that they have an awesome username

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

"So you're feeding the cockatiel to the crocodile?"

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Pleass I keep my crocodile AND his pet firebird ghost in his ball. He likes it there and I have a headphone jack so I can listen to his tasty jams while hunting down the Lousy Three.

[-] phuntis@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

I thought this was talking about the sas and was very confused didn't know sas was a thing

[-] Ebber 3 points 1 year ago

I was confused even though I am a Scandinavian,

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago

Your cockatiel tears aren't fooling anyone.

[-] WillFord27@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not a fan of SAS. Every time I've flown with them their cabin pressure is all fucked up

[-] Krukenberg@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What aircraft? The ATR is imo generally shit at keeping pressure, but their NEOs and 350s has been great.
