This guy wanted a parrot who talked. He asked the pet store manager if there was a bird who was already speaking. The manager directed the guy to a bird by the window. “This bird has a vocabulary of 1000 words and another 50 phrases that would fit most occasions.”
The guy bought the bird and took it home.
Next day, the guy was back in the petstore to complain. The bird hadn’t said a word.
The pet store manager said, “That’s not unusual. Why not buy a few of the toys the bird had been used to playing with while here and put it in his cage. That should get him more comfortable with his surroundings and loosen him up.” The man paid for the toys and took them home to the bird.
Two days later the guy showed back up. “Still not talking, huh?” asked the manager. “Well, perhaps a birdbath would do the trick.” The credit card was whipped out, the purchase made, and the guy was back home with his new birdbath.
And, like clockwork, two days later the guy was back to complain that the bird STILL hadn’t said one word. This time the shop owner scratched his head and said, “You know, sometimes the bird would be praised in his training and allowed to ring this bell.” The guy was hesitant, but he really wanted to hear the bird talk, so he reluctantly purchased the bell.
Two days later, the guy was back in the shop. This time the pet shop owner suggested the bird was lonely. The guy was
upset that he’d have to purchase ANOTHER bird when the first one wasn’t talking. The pet shop owner told him that, no, he
wouldn’t have to do that. Just buy a mirror and trick the bird into thinking he had company.
You guessed. Two days later, the man was back in the store, this time with the parrot. The parrot was dead. “What
happened! Didn’t the bird ever talk?” asked the pet store owner.
“Yep. Right before he died it said, ‘What’s the matter? Don’t they sell birdseed at the pet store any more?'”

What did everyone get from Santa? I got an iPod Touch (b4 xmas, but it counts), a new bird feeder, new birdbath (concrete!), a bluebird box, a great photo of a Red Bellied Woodpecker, a bottle of McCallan, some Navarro wine (CA), kielbasa, a TJ’s giftcard and cash from various family members. The best present? Being AT HOME at MY house.
not going to be lonely unless you want it to be!! There are lots of societies, clubs, organizations, etc you could and should join… living in a hall, like you said, probably would give you more to make friends but you know, an attitude more than anything… you could be surrounded with a ton of people but still end up alone! I envy you for on this new chapter; my best times were in uni 🙂
– I love watching you play the Pet Shop Owner on ! So funny x
Next time try using the term pet supply store, people handle that better, and it clarifies that they sell supplies not pets. Technically a pet store would sell pets, and a pet supply store would sell supplies.
Wow, frost overnight and the new birdbath has frozen over! Weather sure is wacky at the moment.
