Fiche N03 — Le Snowbird

Specimen observed in its natural habitat: a Floridian parking lot, February. Subject appears to be a retired Quebecois male, 65-75, wearing a hockey jersey over a sunburn that suggests a recent afternoon at the pool. The snowbird is a migratory subspecies that abandons its native igloo for a condo with a golf cart and a perpetually half-empty bottle of maple syrup. Its call is a nasal 'Tabarnak, il fait chaud' uttered while adjusting a visor. This mug, like the specimen, is built for endurance — holds 400ml of café or depanneur-bought jus d'orange. Handle designed for a grip that's seen decades of poutine. Observe: the faint maple leaf pattern, the slight wobble when placed on a dashboard. Perfect for the human who has successfully outsourced winter to a timeshare.
