Was I too subtle?

In the movie, King Arthur and Patsy were asked where they got the coconut
that Patsy was using to create the sound of horse's hooves. It was
proposed that a swallow had carried the coconut to the Isle by gripping
the husk with its claws. This, of course, is a silly idea.

In your case, a bird which might have been a swallow was seen. Mike South
asked whether it had traces of coconut husk on its claws.

So if a bird, rather than a tropical seed, was found far from home with
husk on its claws, then the obvious, equally silly idea, is that the
swallow floated ashore on a coconut.

Jeez.

If you have to explain it . . .
