RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
I will ask that next time, but the answer will be nuanced as I live in SoCal:

"I'm sorry sir, we can sell you seeds but watering them will be problematic as we are experiencing a drought."

"EXCUSE ME, BUT COULD YOU TELL ME WHICH OF THESE WILD BIRD SEEDS I WOULD BUY IF I WANTED TO GROW BLUE JAYS?!" :D

Just to see if they actually try and figure it out... Oh, yeah, there are a million variations to this little gag... and they probably all get you the same dumbfounded expression.

DO YOU HAVE ANY DROUGHT RESISTANT WILD BIRD SEED?! I'D REALLY LIKE TO GROW SOME MORE BLUE JAYS IN MY YARD, BUT WITH ALL THESE WATERING RESTRICTIONS, I'M AFRAID THE BABY BIRDS WILL JUST DRY UP AND DIE... :D

Oh, yes you could...

Maybe a variety of seeds is available a few months before Thanksgiving to raise a turkey?

Well, you'd definitely be over your watering restriction ration if you tried to grow a turkey... EBMUD would fine you for sure!

I'll lower my sights and ask for seeds to grow Peeps Marshmallow Chicks! Shouldn't take much water to grow a few packs.

Thanks for the giggle, the original post was hilarious! Scott and Mark, take a bow, you guys really had me LMBO imagining the bewildered look of a retailer, if asked those questions. You would probably get yourself booted out of the store for having a sense of humor.
