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

START EPISODE #36

"Kalki is this wise. I mean eagles?"

"Don’t worry Tandar, he’s harmless enough. There he is, on the top of that dead gum tree."

"Holy Christopher, look at the size of him. He wouldn’t pass a drug test. Must be steroids just dripping out of him."

"Don’t be silly Drongo, they’re all like that, it’s just the way eagles are. Hoy Mirk can we have a word with you?"

"G’day Kalki, yeah come aboard. Who’s your friends?"

"This is Tandar, Rosso, Kaegi, Drongo, Squill, Piki, and Zingo. Guys this is Mirk."

"G’day. Hey lissen Kalki, those two on the end. Are you sure they’re birds."

"Drongo and Squill? Course they are. They’re rainbow lorikeets, why?"

"Just that they look like guinea pigs to me."

"I heard that. Guinea pigs? What do you think these are, eh. Wings! What would a guinea pig be doing with wings? Sheesh."

"Well you could be in disguise. I’m not saying you are guinea pigs, just that you might be."

"Just out of curiosity, would it make any difference if we were? Don’t you like guinea pigs?"

"Oh, you needn’t worry about that. I love guinea pigs. Yum."

"Yikes, tell him guys."

"They’re not guinea pigs Mirk. I can guarantee it."

"Okay if you say so Kalki. Pity though."

"I know I’m going to regret asking this, but do guinea pigs often disguise themselves Mirk?"

"Rosso is it? Sorry you galahs all look the same to me. Yeah they do. I caught one the other day, pretending to be an old running shoe."

"What’d you do?"

"I et him of course. They’re very tasty. Mind you he was a bit tougher than they usually are, sinewy sort of, but quite palatable."

"Mirk, just to change the subject, we really came here to ask you which way we have to go to get to Sydney."

"That’s easy Tandar. Just head that way and keep going til you get there."

"Thanks, that’s all we need. We’ll be off then."

"Hang on Tandar, hang on, we’re going to take directions from someone that can’t tell the difference between a lorikeet and a guinea pig at a metre range. Forget it."

"Lissen sport there’s nothing wrong with my eyes, I’m an eagle."

"A myopic one maybe."

"Hah, shows how bad your eyes are, I’m a wedge-tail. That’s nothing like a mytonick."

"Look lets not argue with him Kaegi. Steroids, remember."

"All I’m saying Tandar is that if he can’t see his foot in front of his face how would...."

"Can’t see my foot in front of my face, eh. Can you see that dead pine over on that hill."

"Course I can. What.....?"

"Right, well see those four sparrows half way up on that branch to the left."

"Hang on, I’m not sure, yeah maybe...I think so...it’s a bit hard from here."

"Okay, well if you look at the cross-eyed one......"

"All right, all right, I get the point. That direction you reckon."

"That’s it. That’ll take you straight to Sydney."

"Thanks Mirk. See ya later. Come on guys, Sydney here we come."
