We’re sorry but your bird
Does not fit our needs at this time

Due not to its filthy plumage
Or the fact it’s excessively common

We simply receive too many birds for us
To comment on any single Bird

And even though we wish you luck
And success in all your future endeavors

This bird simply will not do.
