My local coffee shop has a no birds sign on the door. It is placed at eye height for walking birds.

Does… does it work?

This is the most interesting content on here
- I hope it’s not too interesting though.
  
  Banned for breaking rule 1

This will go over a lot of birds heads.
- Many might find the concept to be beneath them as well.
- Only if they duck.

That's ornitocist! Bigot swine!
- Swine‽ You porcinaphobe coward.
  
  coward?! You boviniphobe maggot!

Or at the kind of level you'd be looking at if you were contemplating letting a bird in?

Birds aren't real.
- I would like to agree with you but... I've been shit on, stared at (which includes judging looks), screamed at, had food and small items stolen (shiny things, like nails, screws and washers), my house casually invaded as the door was open, my work appraised (yard work) and taunted as nests were being built.
  Nah...
  They are very real.
  
  The joke is that they are all government surveillance drones 😂

this is a high quality post

Can you ask the story behind this sign? I bet there is a story behind it.
- I told my wife about this sign and she said there was a bird in the cafe last week.
  There were no birds in the establishment when I was there today. The sign clearly works.

Ok but have you actually had a bird walk into your place of work? Chaos seems like an understatement for what happens after that.
- Ducks eat for free at Subway!
- I had a bird in my basement last summer. Scared the hell out of everybody until we realized it wasn't a bat. Then it was just a matter of herding the panicky little idiot back outside.
  
  Had a bat at a T-shirt stand I used to work at once, ended up being a joint effort between myself, the only staff member willing to deal with the problem, and a collection of volunteers amongst the tourists that finally got the little bastard contained in a cardboard box which I was instructed to leave out back by the trees.

Wow. I’ve never seen such a blatant display of birdism. Birdists are now openly displaying their hate propaganda, not even just for the general public but specifically targeted so the birds see it and live in fear.
Birdphobia won’t be stopped until all spaces accept and welcome birds.

How the hell do you expect Big Bird to see that sign way down there???

Every sign has a story. I’d love to know this one, and is it working?

Untitled Goose Game got a sequel?

i have a "no cats aleowed" sign on the door to my study. At the cats' eye level, of course

If any birds could read, they would be very upset.

I bet those birds would be very upset if they had self-awareness.

"You were warned."
BANG
