There's nothing like a visit to the Animal Quarters to make you feel unclean

Please leave your belongings outside the Animal Quarters.
All cell phones must remain outside the Animal Quarters.
Please don't carry anything into the Animal Quarters.
No outside food or drink is allowed in the Animal Quarters.
Please wear a lab coat at all times. Not the blue ones on the coat rack, or the white ones on the coat rack; the white ones on the back wall.
Please put little blue booties over your shoes.
Please wash your hands BEFORE and AFTER handling the birds.
Here are some plastic gloves, in case washing your hands isn't good enough.


I rather expect to come in one day and see a sign that reads,
"Please do not cough, sneeze, or breathe in the Animal Quarters,"
Or perhaps,
"No unauthorized germs in the Animal Quarters."


In other news, three washings later, I think that my hands no longer smell like chickens.
