What’s the weirdest thing your bird has ever been mistaken for?

Someone once saw Crescent (my budgie, RIP) and asked if he was a guinea pig. Also, I volunteer at a zoo, and I’ve heard visitors mistake the hornbills for toucans, parrots, and pelicans. What weird things has your bird been mistaken for?

Consistently as a cat. I don't know why. In or out of carrier, she's mistaken for a cat. Once I was asked if that was a bird. Annoyed, I responded, 'no it's a cat.' My CAG on que meowed.

I wonder if these are the same people who go to a store and see a cashier standing at a register, with the light on, and ask if that lane is open.
