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 8 months ago

Watch me try to bring my pet Ostrich on a plane

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

That’s a flightless bird.

[-] KnowledgeableNip@leminal.space 70 points 8 months ago
[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 17 points 8 months ago

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

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

That’s the word

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Still a bird!

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago

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

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months 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.

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 42 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

"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 8 months ago

Alarm! Alarm!

[-] Nougat@kbin.social -3 points 8 months 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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago

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

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

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

But preferable to abandoning them.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Ah yes, a banana. The type you sit on

[-] FrigidAphelion@lemm.ee 69 points 8 months ago

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

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 34 points 8 months ago

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

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

doesn't that count for like any animal?

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months 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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago

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

[-] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 15 points 8 months ago
[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Grundle gingersnap?

[-] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Best part of the pig!

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

gooch hooch?

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

I was just thinking that they have an awesome username

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

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

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago

I was confused even though I am a Scandinavian,

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 8 months ago

Your cockatiel tears aren't fooling anyone.

[-] WillFord27@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months 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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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