I'm guessing this only really applies to females (or those with an aviary)?

Strictly speaking, no, but clearly you've figured it out!

I'll give it 20 mins to see if anyone else gets it and try to save myself and everyone else from one of my low quality clues.

Your clues are not low quality!

If right, credit to Rich.

I'll let you and Rich sort who'll set it tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
|
Unless Rich is desperate to set one, I'll give it a go tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
|
I'll happily take the credit but would you be able to do tomorrow?
Things have gone a bit mad since I posted with one email (in or out) every minute and it looks like I'm going to be a bit rushed tomorrow!
Thanks.

Right now he's assembling his cabinet.

I hope he assembles his cabinet better than Ikea makes furniture.

To be fair, IKEA makes furniture of pretty good quality.
A friend of mine makes furniture for super yachts, the kind Arabian royalty has.
Even they get parts from IKEA, because it's just pretty good and you can't get that kind of quality cheaper anywhere.
He even bought it for his own home despite him being against it at first.
When shopping for furniture he gave it a chance and decided that the price of IKEA furniture gave you a better price/quality ratio than "good" furniture does.
Even from his suppliers he couldn't get wood cheaper to make it himself

'Wood' ?!

Well, it is wood.
Small flakes mixed with glue and subsequently pressed into a board.

Kind of like McDonald's all "Meat" burgers. some real meat mixed with filler agents (glue). pressed into patties to resemble meat burgers.
no thanks.

I know exactly nothing about wood.
My friend does and told me the wood he found at IKEA was good and cheap.
Not the chipboard stuff, mind you (although that was also cheaper than he could get)

To put some balance to that comment.
Ikea is experts at getting exactly the right quality for the intended purpose.
Buy a kitchen, and it will easily last you twenty years of daily use. (if assembled correctly)
Buy a bookshelf and fill it with (not to heavy) books and it will do the job of storing them just fine. But if you use said bookshelf for anything else, what so ever, if will quickly disintegrate.
The trick to be happy with your Ikea purchase is to never stray from the products intended purpose.
Also, the purpose of an Ikea couch is to be replaced every ten years or so.

Make that five, as I'm finding out with my current couch
To be fair, the price was less than a quarter of a couch that would last me twenty

Probably quite correct. I was giving the benefit of doubt.

The main problem here is that they probably won't last twenty years, as we're finding out with our "proper" couch. (That cost about four times as much)

I love IKEA stuff - it's just like grown-up Meccano!

You’re right. Massively successful companies always make crappy products that nobody ever wants to buy.
Just like Microsoft and MacDonalds!
Any other success you would like to argue with?? 
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
