An occupational disease

On dinner, I told my colleague, SF, that once my friend and I did a naughty thing.
We asked a fortuneteller to divine my future by a bird,
and tried to figure out how the fortuneteller extrapolated things.

"Which species did the fortuneteller use?" asked SF.

I replied, "Java sparrow."

"That's boring. He should use Chinese bulbuls (a common species in Taiwan)"

"Aren't they too common to trigger mystique?"

"Yean, faintly in the big city."

"As to mimicry, I guess HELICONIUS would perform better."

".............................."

This is kind of occupational disease to young ecologists… I GUESS!

I think the passenger pigeon or any kinds of dinosaur would be better to predict your future XD.
At least, to find them is a turely mystery.

That's true. Though I think the prediction of my future would be an archaeologist in that case XD
