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.

[-] KnowledgeableNip@leminal.space 70 points 1 year ago
[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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

You can bring your phoenix as a carryon as long as the battery is under 90wh and only charged at 50%. Above that you can bring a larger phoenix, only if it attached to its perching device.

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.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] FrigidAphelion@lemm.ee 69 points 1 year ago

If you bring a bird onto an airplane I can legally punch you as hard as I can

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, the airline will kill it before it makes it to the plane.

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

doesn't that count for like any animal?

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

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.

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 68 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 31 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@lemmings.world 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.
