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

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

          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.

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

    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.

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

          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.

        Nope, some animals don’t give two fucks. My cat for instance voluntairly kept me company right next to a cutting CNC. Birds are very prone to stress compared to other animals, they rip out their own feathers and feel like shit after.

          sure they might be not under stress but leaving them alone in a small cage in the cargo for hours might still be an issue

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

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