*slams desk emphatically* THANK YOU. This matches my exact experience with small talk and gives me a good analogy for it.
The one comment on cockatiels is just *chef's kiss*, because that is _exactly_ how it works with birds (and in people, though we like to deny it).
It's not my favorite mode of interaction, but if you understand its purpose as a social ritual it seems a _lot_ less meaningless.
The other thing: I like to stick it at the _end_ of the conversation.
