The trials and tribulations of a group of feathered misfits whose one aim is to loot the Bird Munchies factory.

START EPISODE #2

"Okay, well Squill and I have this very simple plan."

"Why doesn’t that surprise me."

"Listen cat brain, one more interruption out of you and I’ll..."

"Yes give it a rest Piki. Just listen for once."

"Thanks Tandar. Right, well when we flew over the Vortex factory they had those windows in the roof open."

"So."

"So, why don’t we wait until they stop for lunch, then we can fly down and take a whole pallet of munchies. There’s one just under that window at the end."

"Hey, why not. What do you think Kaegi."

"I don’t know Tandar. Those pallets are heavy. 200, maybe 250 kilograms. Will we be able to lift it?"

"What do you reckon Rosso you’re the technical expert."

"Well really my field is classical literature."

"Ha, I thought you went to university, can’t even work out a little problem like this."

"I didn’t say I couldn’t. I know a bit of math. Let me just work on it for a sec.

Now if I multiply the weight by the drag, factor in the uplift, lets see, square the gravitational dilemma and subtract the hypotenuse of a tangelo. 36 carry 3, over pi. Then there’s eight of us, no, subtract Kalki, seven of us. Oh, oh, we have a problem."

"We can’t do it. I knew it. Lorrikeets, sheesh."

"No, no, we can do it, but we’ll have too much lift. If we go up too fast we’ll smash into the roof before we can get it out through the window. So what we need is a slow controlled lift."

"You certainly know your stuff Rosso. Shows how important education is."

"Alright, alright, his head is big enough now. We’d better get organised, it will be the humans lunchtime soon, so everybody get ready. Piki, you and Zingo will take one corner, Drongo and Squill another. Rosso you and Kaegi take one and I’ll take the last. We’d.."

"They’re coming out Tandar, it must be their lunchtime."

"Righto, tight formation, here we go."
