<p>Great story!</p>
<p>Microsoft once sent a delegation to my lab, which was located in
a 14x24 level of my home where two full-sized racks of equipment
lived. A limo arrived, with pizza, and the delegation of five.<br>
</p>
<p>I had two cockatiels at the time. One liked to perch on my
shoulder, the other was much more shy. I didn't think about the
bird being on my shoulder; he came and perched, or sat atop one of
the racks for hits heat.</p>
<p>Except he want on the top of (senior product manager's name
redacted)'s head, where it was time to move his bowels. Then he
flew back to my shoulder as we ate the pizza.</p>
<p>No wonder they don't answer my queries at WaggEd these days.<br>
