Ah the one where I wanted to beat my head on the desk was a woman who visited the Observatory one day.
"Where can I see the birds?" "They're everywhere. Just sit in the shadehouse and watch the birds, they come into the birdbaths. Just a few years ago the first sighting of the Blue & White Flycatcher in Australia was seen there." "First sighting? wow." "Yeah, it's a south-east Asian native, must have been caught in a storm or overshot during migration." "Oh, you know all about THOSE birds. What about flu?" "Lady, if the bird sneezes on you, then I might get worried."
