oiling the bird

when you have a problem, that you find out is actually a completely different problem with very similar symptoms and a completely different solution, but you attempt to fix that new found problem with the same solution as the other one.

oiling the bird originated from->"dude i though my chair was squeaking uncontrollably, but it was really just a bird squeaking outside the window"
"you should oil the bird"
