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

START EPISODE #29

"Well that presents an ethical dilemma."

"Eh?"

"I mean chickens are birds like us."

"No they’re not Tandar. They’re big and stupid and white."

"Sounds just like Kal...."

"Don’t say it Zingo. I just don’t think it would be right. Wouldn’t he settle for a steak or something?"

"I’ll ask, but he really likes chicken. After all Tandar, if it’s already roasted, it’s not like we could resusitate it or anything. I mean there’s really only one practical use for a roast chicken, if you see what I mean."

"Yeah, I suppose so. Which brings me to another point. Where would we get it?"

"Easy-peasy. There’s a new restaurant in the square with outdoor tables. We wait in the trees until a waiter brings someone chicken, then we swoop down and snatch it."

It’s hardly the sophisticated image we want to convey, is it?"

"Well we could disguise ourselves as hawks I suppose. Or eagles."

"Eagles? How many eagles do you know that are the size of lorikeets?

"Size isn’t everything."

"It is if you’re an eagle. No, I don’t think disguise is the answer. We’ll just have to hope no-one sees us."

"They probably won’t believe it anyway, even if they do."

"Yeah, that’s true. Alright, you better talk to this dog of yours Zingo, see if he’ll do it."

"Okay Tandar I’ll go right now. Won’t be long."

"Ahh, Tandar do you mind if I go as well. I don’t want to be late."

"Late for what Squill?"

"The Canberra Cannons are playing someone. I just thought I’d go and have a look."

"Yeah, okay, I guess. Just keep your wits about you."

"Thanks Tandar. See you, guys."

"Wonder why he’s so keen. Not like him to be interested in basketball. You don’t think...?"

"Oh, no, no, no, not basketballs. He’s definitely on his own if he’s trying for a basketball."

"Perhaps I should follow him Tandar. Just in case."

"Yeah, you better, Drongo. The rest of you can go if you like. I’ll wait for Zingo to come back. We’ll meet here tomorrow at the same time, okay. See you."

 

"Tandar he’ll do it. But he wants three chicken legs, one up front."

"Can’t be done Zingo. They don’t have legs up front. They’re birds like us. I can see how he’d make the mistake being a dog, but....."

"No, you don’t understand. We have to give him one leg first, just to prove we can, then two more after he’s chased the cat."

"Oh well, that’s fair enough I suppose. I’d better go and have a look at the place that’s going to supply the legs, see if this’ll work."

"Yeah, good idea Tandar. We wouldn’t want to be caught without a leg to stand on. Geddit. Leg to stand on."

"Bye Zingo."
