    So, after bringing two other people in on his project, because there was a LOT more to it than just the bulb. He needed an entire rig for this project and had no clue or specifications before he walked into the store, but we managed to get it all figured out for him.
    Customers that don't do their research are a real pain.

      I hate when SCs do this! I spend all kinds of time helping them, and they make a point to tell me that there's "never anyone available to help" or "no one knows where anything is" or whatever.
      And then they get pissy because they can't find a man/woman to help them, because only a man/woman would know what they're talking about.

        Researching what was needed for a bird should have been the first step, not the last. And he should have either gone to a pet store or a co-op that deals with farms. Or *gasp* even researched it all online first.

        Given how little research he did, I'm going to assume that someone passed him an infertile chicken egg and he just thinks it's a raptor egg. I'm going to hope with all my might that's all he has, because no living creature (not even a flea) deserves to deal with that level of ignorance and stupidity.
        If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

            Don't make me say the word.


            On topic, yeah, I don't see anyone, not even on Craigslist, handing over a fertile falcon egg to someone who isn't prepared/trained to care for it.

              It was given to by a mate at the pub or came off the back of a truck.

                As far as I can tell, this could be one of a couple of things.

                1, If he is in the store all the time buying random stuff - he could just be lonely and this is his way of finding people to talk to because he is bored being on his own all the time

                2, He really is a weirdo who has no idea at all what a Hawk's egg looks like and is going to try and hatch a hard boiled chicken egg

                  I hope he doesn't do that. Those hard boiled chickens are real tough characters.

                    Hawk's egg? Chicken egg? I'd say it'll probably hatch into a Loud Mouthed Schnook.

                                I'm actually beginning the process of becoming a Falconer. I should be starting my apprenticeship sometime this year.

                                More often than not, Falconers trap juvenile raptors (birds of prey) and then raise them and teach them to hunt and typically release them back into the wild. Some will keep one bird to stay by them and hunt with for their lifetime though.

                                It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.
