Cockatiel Puns

Did you hear about the Cockatiel that was trying to find a new home for his family? He zipped back and forth everywhere, but couldn't find a good spot anywhere. Then he came across a bear, sleeping flat of his back with his mouth wide open. Not recognizing what it was, he thought the bear's mouth would be the perfect spot for a nest. He gathered his family and they all got to work building a new home for themselves, but then the bear woke up. Realizing what was going on, he politely informed them that he couldn't let them nest in his mouth. He hated to do it, but it was quite the bird den to bear.

Daughter: Do you know what my favorite kind of bird is?

Me: Cockatiels? (my educated guess since we have two)

Daughter: No, it's an owl.

Me: Who?

Daughter: An owl.

Me: Who?

Daughter: AN OWL!

Me: Who? (while laughing)

Daughter: Daddy... (finally catches on, but not amused)
