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

START EPISODE #25

"What?"

"Well some of them have mind-altering properties and I thought....."

"What are you talking about?"

"You! Tandar you’ve got conspiracy on the brain. What does it matter if the humans give us food?"

"You don’t understand. They’re trying to weaken us."

"By pumping us full of good food. Wow, that’s fiendish all right. I’d never of thought of anything as clever as that."

"Me neither Piki. Maybe humans are smarter than birds after all."

"Well at least smarter than....."

"Don’t say it Zingo."

"Don’t say what Tandar?"

"Just don’t say anything."

"Hey Tandar I’m as weak as a finch. I couldn’t fit in another sunflower."

"Yeah, me too Kalki. Tandar now we’re all so weak, why don’t we try and get that cricket ball for Squill?"

"Yeah Tandar why not. We won’t need to eat again for a while."

"Alright, alright, I give in. Sheesh."

"Tandar a word with you alone if I may."

"Okay Rosso. Back in a minute gang."

 

"Tandar is this wise? With our record who knows what might happen. These humans take cricket very seriously."

"I know Rosso. But have you watched them? They all want the ball, but as soon as they get it they throw it away, or hit it away. Then they all run after it. And they put sticks in the ground, and try and knock them down. But as soon as they do, they all stop and put them back up again. And they jump around a lot, and holler."

"So?"

"Well, what I am trying to convey here, is that we’re not dealing with Rhode Scholars. The whole lot of them combined have the I.Q. of, say....a pigeon with dropsy."

"Whereas our merry band...."

"Alright, alright, it’s a risk. But they’re so keen, I guess we have to try. Come on."

 

"Tandar they’re playing at the oval in the park. We can watch from the big pine."

"Good. Now we need a plan. Kalki you’re the strongest. Whatever we do you’ll have to be the one to carry the ball off."

"Okay Tandar. No worries."

"Right, ideas anyone?"

"Look Tandar, there’s pigeons and seagulls on the oval. If Kalki landed down there, he could just wait for the ball to come to him and, bingo."

"He’d be too obvious."

"Not if we cut off his crest. They’d think he was a seagull. I could just snip...."

"And you can stick your head up a dead......"

"I think he means no, Zingo. Anyone else got an idea?"

"I spose I could just fly down and take it. After all I’m protected. What could they do?"

"Y’know Kaegi, I used to wonder why you were an endangered specie. Not anymore."
