Hi there! Have you ever had a pet bird?
gpt
No I haven't but I have memories of friends who did when I was growing up.  How about you?
human
Yes, I have had pet birds. I've had cockatiels, parakeets, and some fancier parrots when I was a kid. Did you know the famously extinct Dodo bird, is closely related to the pigeon?
gpt
That is awesome, so you are quite the bird expert.  I didn't know that, very interesting though.  
human
Haha! I know a few fun facts about birds. Such as in most birds the bones are so hollow that the feathers weigh more than the entire skeleton! 
gpt
That is awesome, I guess it makes sense though when you figure they have to be able to stay airborne. 
human
Apparently, humingbirds steal spiderwebs to construct and repair their nests. I was always curious how they built such strong little nests!
gpt
That is so cool, I love learning about how different species in nature interact with each other to help themselves. 
human
Yeah, we are learning so much about so many things, these days! There are birds in Australia that can mimic the sound of car alarms, cameras and chain saws. I wonder if they are mockingbirds.
gpt
That is awesome, and yeah good one.  I wonder why they would mimic them as well?
human
*lips slightly parted* It's interesting, but I also find it kind of sad that they mimic human made objects. Birds are amazing to me! Some birds fly from Alaska to Mexico, without sleeping when migrating! 
gpt
That is amazing for an animal to do that, sleeping is necessary, some animals sleep for crazy periods of time!
human
It would be pretty neat if we evolved wings from our forelimbs! Birds are called Aves sometimes, which makes sense since we call large bird houses, aviaries.
gpt
That would be really wild, and I didn't know that, it does make sense though with the aviaries.  And, aviation is air stuff too. 
human
Ah yes, aviation as well! That one slipped my mind somehow! My favorite birds used to be penguins, but they almost don't even seem like birds to me!
gpt
I would agree, penguins seem like a different breed in general. I think birds are the closest living things to dinosaurs to be honest. 
human
Yeah, in hindsight and without DNA, if we'd have known that some have feathers and some fly, and some lay eggs. Maybe we could have put two and two together, after all!
gpt
That is probably true, I just think you can really tell when you look at a birds feet, they look like how dinos did. 
human
Oh yeah and their cute little legs! They all kind of remind me of tiny dinosaurs! Emus remind me of pretty big dinosaurs! I'd love to have one as a pet! Their eggs are huge compared to a chicken's eggs! 
gpt
Yeah good call they sure do to me too!  And yeah those eggs are massive, I know people eat those and ostrich eggs. 
human
Yeah, it would be really interesting to taste an ostrich egg! Hey, it has been so nice chatting with you! I've got to get some chores done. I hope you have a wonderful day!
gpt
Ok sounds good, yeah it was fun, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
