Ohmygod guys guess what happened

I got stuck on a PLANE

It's like a bird, but like way big and the wings don't move and it's got a way worse sense of humour. I mean I was telling it some of my best, like "what do you call a rude bird? A MOCKING BIRD" - Not a chuckle.
"Where do birds meet for coffee? AT THE NEST-CAFE". - not so much as a smile.
Like come on that one is classic.

But while I was leaning on its nose, trying my best to get a giggle out of it in Frankfurt airport, the bloody thing started moving. I thought it would eventually calm down, but as it transpired that wasn't going to happen.
I clung on with all the strength in my wings, and scooted along to where its feet should have been.
"Strange talons you got here, mate!" I called as I moved in closer. I headed for a sheltered area near its feet and found myself a nice little alcove in which I could settle down for a while. Next thing I knew, it's feet, which turned out to be WHEELS, followed me in and the entrance closed up.


oh dear! what a pickle!

I was fairly stuck, but it seemed like a nice enough place, so I took a wander around.
Lots of big packages of things. All very heavy.
I headed up to the top of the pile of these big packages and, huzzah, an exit to somewhere that smelled like bread.
In I snuggled and promptly fell asleep.

It must have been hours later when I realised I was in a little compartment surrounded by electronics, and I could hear voices. But not like crazy voices in my head, people voices above my head.
Needless to say I was petrified. This big bird had eaten people!

The panel above my head opened and I decided that staying perfectly still was probably my best bet.
"OH WHAT'S THIS THEN"
Sounded like an old kook. Usually good news for birds. Great conversations.

Turns out, the kook was an orno-... ornit-... a guy who studies birds.
AND I'M ONE OF THOSE

He showed me around where he was sitting, and BOY was it nice.
I was afraid I'd get in some sort of trouble for being there, but there were doors and things and so he could have his own private room.

He told me all about the big bird, which turned out to be an airplane, figures.

He was in the most expensive part, so he said, which was called Diamond Class. It was pretty swanky. He got to go in the expensive part because he was a big important guy-who-studies-birds and he was going to a big meeting of guys-who-study-birds. So he got a nice seat.
No seriously take a look around - you can look online. He showed me on his lapt top or whatever it's called. It was like a book, but with lights and buttons. You can look through "Diamond Class" here

It was such a nice place to hang out.
Every so often, I'd hide in the electronics box, and he'd ask for bread and then when it came he'd close the doors and I'd have bread. I don't know where he was getting it, but it was reaaaaaally nice.

And then I was in Abu Dhabi
suffice to say I had some fun. Met some pretty chicks.
