Advanced Bird Haberdashery, Wednesday, period 2
At first glance, it might seem like the classroom today had been decorated entirely in broken tree branches and weathered logs. At least until you got too close to one of them and it opened wide, yellow eyes and an enormous mouth and yelled at you like an embarrassed teenager with a head cold.
"Hey class," Duke greeted. "Meet the potoo."
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" shrieked the bird on his desk.
"These guys are native to Central and South America, and are sort of the sloths of the bird kingdom. By which I mean they like to hang around in one place for days on end, and scream."
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
"Apparently some people find their call to be 'mournful'. And they get louder on nights with a full moon. Leading to legends about the birds being the moon's long lost love or something."
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
"We're making them bucket hats. No new rules to add yet this week," he said. "But I'm sure you all will come up with something."
Duke poked at the potoo on his desk as it went back to its uncanny log impersonation. It tried to bite his finger.
"Anyway. Have fun."

Listen to the lecture
Potoos and bucket hats!
Which pretty well suited the potoo, anyway.
Re: Potoos and bucket hats!
The potoo, it turned out, did not stop that noise.
"I will taze you, don't think I won't," she muttered, attempting to slap a bucket hat onto the thing.
Talk to Duke
Which had best not become a euphemism for anything.
