Hi San Vito Bird Club readers and welcome to a new weekly feature…’BIRD JOKES!’ Each week we’ll bring you a different and (relatively) original joke that has something to do with birds…perhaps after a few weeks just tangentially.

So sit back and enjoy our first ‘BIRD JOKE’ but be careful you don’t strain your laughing muscles.

(Yellow-throated Toucan (Ramphastos ambiguus; courtesy of eBird)

A guy walks into a bar with a Yellow-throated Toucan perched on his shoulder.

‘HEY’, yells the bartender. ‘We don’t allow any long-nosed sewer rats in the bar!’

The guy glares over at the bartender and retorts; ‘I’ll have you know this is not a long-nosed sewer rat. It’s a Yellow-throated Toucan; native to tropical Central and South America.’

The bartender replies; ‘I was TALKING to the toucan.’

There; see how easy that was? If you have a BIRD JOKE you’d like to share, send it to us and we’ll post it. As you’ve just discovered, we’ve set the humor bar VERY low.
