Avian Date Night

Male finch: Look what I found for us, honey!

Female finch 1: It’s syrup.

Male finch: Yes, isn’t it great?

Female finch 1: I can’t eat this, hon. You know I can’t eat this.

Male finch: Why not?

Female finch 1: I have the wrong beak.

Male finch: What do you mean, “the wrong beak”?

Female finch 1: I’m a finch. This syrup is for hummingbirds.

Male finch: This is 2024! We have equal rights!

Female finch 1: Well, yes, but we have physical limitations too. I cannot actually get my beak inside this feeder.

Male finch: Damn! I thought this would be a treat for you. Could we break into it somehow?

Female finch 1: Thank you for the thought, hon, but the system is designed for hummingbirds. We should just leave it for them.

Male finch: No! We have to protest! This is an injustice!

Female finch 1: Maybe. But I’d rather go and look for a different feeder. One with seeds.

Male finch: Sure. We can do that. But I won’t be happy about it.

Female finch 1: Ok. Let’s check out the next patio. Oh, and don’t think I haven’t noticed Miss Pretty up there.

Male finch: Who? What? Where? Oh, her. She’s just a friend.

Female finch 1: Mmm hmmmm.

Female finch 2: Don’t mind me. I’m just a co-worker. Really. It’s nice to meet you Mrs. Finch.

Male finch: OK. Who’s up for Gourmet Finch Food?
