Ok so today I was working on the floor cleaning exhibits and what not. Number 24 is empty because they are going to move a big tree in there and possibly change it to a mulch exhibit and etc. I walk over to talk to Frank who is removing some of the wires so the tree can be brought in. Now, when there are no birds in an exhibit, rather than leaving up the old sign to confuse people, we put up a sign that says, 'Looking for me? Temporarily off display etc etc'. I am standing by this sign and I hear a lady walk by and read the sign and then say, 'Looking for me? Ha ha no.' So, let me get this straight, you are not looking for birds? You came into the bird house to not look at birds? That gem is just one of many.
Also, at least 75 percent of the people that walk by me as I am cleaning an exhibit would rather stare at me hosing out the pool than find and admire the birds in the cage. Ok there are some people that may think we move the birds out and just walk by or the few people that are probably just a bit awkward and don't just want to stand there and stare at me. Ok that is fine but, the people who stare, and these are adults not just kids, did you really come to the zoo to watch me clean? I mean, look, she uses this soap-like substance and it then is doused on the water holding basin. Oh my goodness, then, she takes this long tube with some kind of watery liquid gushing out of it to fill the basin. The birds seem to like this. I shall take note. Birds like water.
Another remark I have heard is when someone notices the birds going to the bathroom, someone exclaimed, 'aww don't do that'. Really? The bird should not deficate? You think it would survive more than a day without doing so? Why don't you try that yourself. See how uncomforable you get. Assface.
All done. Goodnight.
