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

START EPISODE #27

"Well here we are. Wonder where Squill is?"

"Probably gone looking for us. Either that, or that cat got him. We should have stayed to give him a hand just in case."

"Hang on, here he comes. Now remember, not a word. If we can get a ball for him, he’ll be rapt. Hi Squill, where have you been?"

"Tell you in a minute. Come and have a look at this."

"Not more tennis balls."

"Better. Bet you don’t know what this is?"

"Looks like a cricket ball."

"I knew you wouldn’t. It’s a cricket ball. Rare as hens teeth."

"How did you get it."

"Funniest thing. I found my golf balls then went down to the munchies, but you’d gone. So I went over to the oval in the park. The humans play cricket there you see."

"You don’t say."

"Yeah, they do. Anyway I thought just on the off chance.... Trouble is they guard the balls like they’re sunflower seeds or something."

"Tell us about it."

"I’m trying to. Quit interrupting. Where was I? Oh yeah, that’s right. Now you’re not going to believe this. I’m sitting in a tree thinking I’ll never get a ball, when I see a heap of pigeons pile onto some dill that’s landed on the oval. Feathers going everywhere. Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. I mean, what sort of thicko takes on thirty pigeons."

"So what did you do?"

"Well I was going over for a closer look when I realised all the humans had left the shed to have a dekko. So I nipped in, grabbed this ball, and brought it back here. Took some doing I tell you. Isn’t it a beauty."

"You didn’t recognise anyone?"

"No, all humans look the same to me."

"The birds I mean."

"No but I’ll tell you what, it was a fair old punchup. I only got a quick look, cos I was busy with the ball, but it looked like fruit salad in a spin dryer down there, so I think some parrots must have joined in. You’d think they’d have more class than that."

"You didn’t think of going to help them?"

"What for, they weren’t doing me any favours. Besides, having a punchup with a mob of pigeons. I mean to say. Anyway, where were you?"

"Oh, we were just flying around."

"You could ov waited for me. Hey, what’s the matter with you lot. You look all scruffed up. And Kaegi’s got a black eye. Have I missed something?"

"I would say no, not at all."

"Oh that’s good. Isn’t it a beauty? I’m just wondering where I should put it."

"I thought you’d never ask. You can shove it...."

"Cool it Kaegi. Just put it with the others for the time being Squill."

"Okay. Y’know it’s funny, I was going to ask you to help me get this. Turns out I didn’t need you. Just goes to show what you can do when you try. Isn’t it a beauty?"
