The Aviary Puns

"Bred any good rooks lately?"

So I sorted by gnu.

No egrets.

A good friend told me a story once. When she was a kid her family would often go to zoos and museums while on vacation. They were in the aviary on one of those visits looking at birds. My friend saw a crow asked the zookeeper a question. "What's the difference between a raven and a crow?" The zookeeper looked at her, smiled and started to answer. "Have you ever heard of a pinion feather?" he said. "Pinions are the the feathers at the tip of a bird's wing that allows it to fly. They are also the ones that people will trim to prevent birds from flying away. Crows have 5 pinion feathers while ravens have 6. So, if you think about it, it's really just a matter of a pinion."

To this day, my friend and her family don't know the real answer to "What's the difference between a crow and a raven?" They are wonderful and intelligent people, but they subscribe to a particular brand of ignorance where a good pun is better than actual knowledge. They call it punorance.

We were driving to the fireworks celebration in town as Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love" played on the radio.

> Hey, if I worked as a manager at a glove factory, I would would ask new employees if they 🎶 Feel like makin' gloves?!? 🎶

Of course I couldn't let it go, so I followed it up with:

> If I worked at an aviary that specialized in dove procreation, I would ask my co-workers each morning if they 🎶 Feel like makin' doves?!? 🎶

The wife thought it was funny.
