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

START EPISODE #34

"Yes Kalki?"

"You know that shop down at the mall? The one with the TV’s in the window. Well I was watching TV before I came here and there was a picture of that restaurant, y’now where we got the chicken."

"So?"

"Well they were talking about how me an’ Kaegi snatched the chicken, and they were calling us carnivore’s."

"What’s a carnivore?"

"Geez Drongo don’t you know anything. A carnivore is... like a street party. Everyone gets dressed up and dances."

"Well that’s not so bad. Mind you they obviously haven’t seen these two dance."

"It’s not...."

"Hey Piki and I saw a dance the other night. The dance of the sugar plum fairy it was. They were bounding about all over the place."

"I’m not surprised Zingo. Once those sugar plums start to ferment they’re about 50% alcohol. Even a stuffed owl would start bounding about with a few of those in him."

"But it’s..."

"Perhaps they got Kalki and Kaegi mixed up with someone else then. I’ve never seen them bounding around."

"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP AND LISTEN!

"Righto, Rosso, keep your feathers on. What’s the problem?"

"The problem you featherbrains, is that a carnivore is not a street festival."

"Well why did the humans say it was? They ought to know, sheesh, it’s their language."

"They weren’t talking about flamin’ dancing, you were. A carnivore is someone who eats meat."

"Well that’s really stupid. We’re birds, we eat seeds."

"And honey."

"Well yeah, and honey when we can get it. At least some of us do. But we don’t eat meat. That’s for hawks and eagles an’ other low lifes. It’s not for proper birds."

"Obviously the humans think because we pinched the chicken, that we do eat it. The question is what are we going to do about it?"

"Who cares? What does it matter anyway?"

"Yeah why should we worry Rosso?"

"Well to start with it’s not good for our image."

"Our image? So far we’ve got a reputation for breaking and entering, theft, fraud, sabotage, vandalism, and general mayhem. Short of going into politics, how could our image get any worse."

"Well to start with Kaegi, there’s the chicken community. How are they going to look at us, if they think we’re eating them?"

"Very carefully, and from a safe distance I’d reckon. Anyway don’t worry about chickens, they’re as thick as an emu sandwich. Only last week one of ‘em was telling me how excited he was that he’d been picked to go for a ride on a merry-go-round."

"So?"

"If you go past that fastfood in Boston Street when you leave here, say gooday to him. Top of the rotisserie, second from the left."

"You are really sick Kaegi."

"Yeah, sick of hanging around here. Look they’ve put more munchies out. Lets eat."
