Customer in Phoenix asked if we could hardwire her parrot's cage

I was doing a panel swap for this older lady in Phoenix and she kept hovering around the keypad. Halfway through the job she points at her Amazon parrot and asks if I can wire it into the system so it squawks when someone opens the front door. I laughed thinking she was joking, but she was dead serious. Told her that's a liability nightmare and she got offended, then offered me an extra $50 to make it work. I declined, but for weeks after I kept picturing that bird tripping the motion sensor every time it hopped across the room, anyone else ever get custom requests that weird?

Wait, did anyone else ever get asked to train a parrot to fake a smoke alarm?
