About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver walked into Avian & Exotic Animal Clinic with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Doc,’ he said, ‘I just delivered some parrots here last week, and now they’re talking about me!’ The vet scratched his head and smiled. ‘They must’ve overheard your conversations!’ he laughed. The driver shook his head, scratching his own head in confusion. A few days later, another delivery guy arrived with a sheepish grin. “Hey Doc, I think my truck’s been talking too!”
2. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped by the clinic and asked worriedly, ‘Do you guys ever see animals that talk?’ The vet looked puzzled but replied, ‘Not yet.’ Since then, strange chirps and whispers seem to come from behind closed doors. Finally, one morning a delivery driver arrived with a box full of squawking parrots. He said sheepishly, 'I think they were talking too much on the way here.' Ever since then, whenever someone asks if animals talk, the vet just points to the ceiling where occasional echoes of laughter can be heard.
3. One afternoon, a curious tourist approached the receptionist and asked, 'I saw a parrot outside your clinic yesterday—why does it keep saying “Open for business!”?' The receptionist smiled knowingly. ‘Oh, that’s our resident parrot,’ she replied. ‘He loves to greet everyone with his little greeting.’ The next day, the same tourist returned and noticed the parrot had changed its phrase. Now he was shouting, “COVID-safe visit! Mask required!” Everyone around laughed, realizing the bird must have overheard some of the staff talking.’
4. A busy vet tech was deep in concentration when she heard a familiar voice behind her. ‘Excuse me,’ said a regular customer, holding up a small cage, ‘can you tell me if my pet chameleon is trying to change his mood or just his outfit?’ The vet tech smiled and peered into the cage. 'Well,' she replied with a chuckle, 'if he’s wearing that camouflage print, I’d say he’s definitely trying on a new look!' The customer laughed, relieved, as another delivery driver walked in, asking anxiously, 'Hey, does anyone know why Mr. Chameleon here is suddenly so interested in fashion?'
