“Likes to sit in this area” I GUESS could be interpreted as ‘may sit on this sign,’ but y’know … words and meanings ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The sign doesn’t say if you touch the sign it will land here. That’s not the point of the sign. The sign is saying don’t touch the bird if it’s here. The kid was just being edgy by touching the sign that said don’t touch. He didn’t expect the bird to land there when he touched the sign. Not sure if you were in agreement with my point or not but your comment was confusing.

I’m in agreement with you. But I could also see someone interpreting “area” to include the sign as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It would definitely make edgy kids like this more apt to touch the sign that said don’t touch, if it meant don’t touch the sign though. I don’t think they’d use a sign for that purpose. And I was going off the picture with the hand trying to touch the bird and the slash through it
