    You wouldn’t believe how many thoughtless wretches try to dispose of their live ones in here as well.

    finnaly
    it sez the thing they mean
    this is normal english

    • Hebime says:

      No, no, only strange ferriners would throw birds in a garbage can.
      It HAS TO be Engrish….

      (/sarcasm)

      • dr handle says:

        Whereas in the civilised Here, we know that the correct thing to do with dead birds is flush them down the toilet. Or is that goldfish?

        • JohnB says:

          If it flushes, it goes!

          • PoodleGroomer says:

            If it doesn’t go you’re going to need this can of lye. It says on the back: “Clears Drains. Guaranteed to dissolve hide, hair, and feathers.”

            • toilet shark says:

              Not to be used on cute, amusing, endearing little toilet sharks, one hopes?

              • PoodleGroomer says:

                Have you ever considered a career change and thought about becoming a lutefisk?

                • toilet shark says:

                  Well, I’d be lyeing if I didn’t admit that I’ve been described at times as being quite caustic.

                  • Droll not Troll says:

                    And the basic truth is: you have no shame!

                    • dr handle says:

                      In order to be a Dreadful Pun Hell fairy, I must have a working knowledge of dreadful puns and their perpetration. When you lot do it, it’s dreadful punning. When I do it, it’s further education. *giggle giggle*

                      • PoodleGroomer says:

                        Is the doctor compounding Preparation H?

                      • Droll not Troll says:

                        It’s like accordion playing. Knowing how is clever, but actually doing it in public is dreadful!

                        • PoodleGroomer says:

                          Are you thinking “Lady of Spain” dreadful or polka dreadful?

                        • Droll not Troll says:

                          I’m kidding. There are a lot of good accordion players. Maybe I should have said “musical saw playing”. I’ve never heard an example of that sounding good!

                        • dr handle says:

                          If mutually consenting adults wish to pun dreadfully in the privacy of their own homes, that’s nobody else’s business (I’m very progressive that way).

    • Since I’m a virologist my first thought that this was from a chicken farm or a bird flu lab.

  3. Incorrectly political says:

    Cann Ii tak da bird oot an eate it!?!

  4. MikeM says:

    Avian flu is a real issue in eastern and southeastern Asia.

    • PoodleGroomer says:

      West Nile virus has reduced a lot of bird populations. It is not good for people either.

      • Cook Co says:

        Yes. Here we’re supposed to “call the authorities” if we find a dead crow or blue jay. This bin would be an effective way of collecting specimens for testing in an area where people are intelligent enough to wash their hands after a “deposit”.

        • PoodleGroomer says:

          Nursing trick: When wearing latex gloves and needing to dispose of something contaminated or messy, Hold it in your hand and invert the glove over it as you take it off so it is inside of the inside out glove. It makes a neat package to throw away and makes it easier to wash up afterwards.

        • According to some folks I know at the National Wildlife Health Center, you would be surprised at how many people have no idea WTF a crow is. They were getting calls like “I found a small brown dead bird, is it a crow?”

    • Ydobon says:

      Avian Flu?
      C’mon, that’s so 2005!
      Update to swine flu!

  5. byebyebirdie says:

    I…I….I’m not dead yet!

  6. david j says:

    I have one of those next to my recycle bin. Comes in real handy as I have cats.

  7. Ecka says:

    Grammar is okay, so Engrish must be meaning? What does it say originally?

    • CorneliusJack says:

      It meant exactly what it said, I failed to see the ‘fail’ here.

      I guess someone just found it amusing, that’s all.
      It’s from Hong Kong btw.

  8. Droll not Troll says:

    *looks in bin* AAARRGH! It’s full of hands with the middle fingers extended!!

  9. Chicken Lips says:

    Are chickens birds or are they some other weird cross between a reptile and dodo?

    • Droll not Troll says:

      They’re birds. They’ve been bred for their current purposes. The fact you don’t see them flying doesn’t matter. Oh, and they don’t have lips. Or teeth.

  10. MeowTseTongue says:

    Tom, being so dejected from not catching Jerry, and failing miserably to eat tweetie bird, finally calls it a day and decides to become a scavenger of dead birds.

    This is his new clever ploy. If you open the lid, you’ll see two evil, glowing eyes staring back at you a la the cartoons.

  11. A Noun says:

    What you don’t see in the photo: This is located outside all KFC’s.

  12. Tom C says:

    There’s nothing funny about it. That’s what the chinese says exactly. If it was chicken waste (as in KFC) it is not said in the Chinese…

  13. Darth Jason says:

    Finally, somewhere for me to dispose of my dead parrots. The guy at the pet store who sold it to me doesn’t believe it’s dead.

  14. nick says:

    Fail!

    That makes perfect scene, haven’t you ever heard of avian flu?

  15. ... says:

    Someone remind me what’s wrong with the English here.

  16. Adrian says:

    Nothing wrong with this at all.

    In Hong Kong (where I live BTW and where the bin is from Mong Kok to be precise) when they find a dead bird, they have to be careful it didn’t die of avian flu. This bin is just very practical and sensible (and says what it needs to say very precisely).

    Many people died in the past in Hong Kong from avian flu, then SARS and now swine flu is here (though it isn’t even 1/2 as bad as SARS). The government needs to be very careful because… here’s the shock… they actually LEARNED from their mistakes. :-0

    I think the poster just didn’t understand, so it’s the poster that failed. ;-)

    • Jackie says:

      In fact, it does mention it’s in a market, and knowing the policy of Hong Kong’s terrible “daily genocide” policy they dispose of the unsold poultry into the bins. Sad.

  17. Yusno says:

    really? how if there’s no death bird?

  18. navg says:

    The translation was correct (that’s really a dead bird disposal in Hongkong), it’s poster’s understanding that failed.

  19. calyth says:

    It is the correct translation.
    This is probably part of the Avian Flu containment tactics in a Hong Kong market, and they keep live chickens until someone actually picks it.

    So if the chicken dies before they’re being ordered, that’s where they get disposed.

  20. HKer says:

    It’s for dead birds collection to prevent the bird flu, dumbass

  21. Sean says:

    it relly means dead birds.
    specifically ded sparrows.

  22. Nic says:

    ah is this for avian flu?
    or is it just for like unused raw meat? like chicken/turkey et cet?

  23. Piro says:

    This sign is actually translated correctly. (It’s worth repeating; most people don’t read nested comments.)

  24. ertiikus says:

    it actually does mean what it says lol

  25. Jeff says:

    +1 on correct translation. That is exactly what the sign says (from Hong Kong).

  26. yufan says:

    haha it may be funny but this thing does what it says!! it IS for the disposal of dead birds!! don’t ask me why or how but that’s what it says in Chinese too…

  27. Super2Donny says:

    That is normal, it said “Mong Kok Market” at the right bottom corner. Which there is live chicken for sale >_< (Yes, I live in Hong Kong.)

  28. ChipOmer says:

    This should maybe be in fail blog, it is not Engrish.
