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

START EPISODE #8

"Now is everyone ready? We’ve a few minutes. They haven’t got it loaded yet. So I’d just like to say to you all, that this is an historic moment in parrot history."

"What about us?"

"Alright. An historic moment in parrot and pigeon history. We are on the verge of one of the greatest..."

"Tandar all we’re going to do is poop on a truck. It’s not like the charge of the light brigade."

"Where’s your sense of occasion Drongo. This speech could go down in history. Now as I was saying..."

"Hey the trucks going. If you’re going to say something famous Tandar you’d better say it quick."

"Oh poop. Lets go."

"That’s going to go down in history?"

"Well at least he kept it brief."

"Just shut up and follow that truck."

"Okay Tandar it’s coming out of the factory gates. We should hit it on that first bend."

"Are those pigeons in position?"

"Right behind us, Tandar. Ready when you are."

"Don’t forget if anything goes wrong we meet back at the tree. Ready. Then let’s do it. Tight formation. Follow me."

3 minutes later

"Everyone here? What happened? Geez, what a stuff-up."

"Never mind Tandar we gave it our best aahh... shot. We should have practised on a moving target. But at least the truck slowed down for a moment."

"Who cares about the stupid truck Piki. Did you see what those pigeons did?"

"Well it was a damn stupid spot for a picnic anyway. Right beside the road like that."

"Forty of them. What a mess."

"True, but maybe the humans didn’t take it so badly Tandar. After all they threw us all their fruit. Very kind of them, under the circumstances."

"Hmm, you may be right. But we’ll never involve pigeons in our plans again. And you can tell them that Rosso."

"Well, actually I was talking to their leader on the way back. From the language he was using I gained the impression that they’re not all that keen to help any more anyway."

"What exactly did he say. Without the expletives if you don’t mind."

"Without... okay let’s see. He said "never, parrots, help, off."

"I see. Oh, well, forget the pigeons, at least we have a fallback plan."

"Which is?"

"We go to the Floriade and stay there until we’ve eaten the big birdmunchie. We’ll have to share it with all the others but it should last for a few weeks."

"Good idea. Our motto can be, if you can’t beat em, eat em."

"Good one Rosso. Lets forget all about todays effort. But at our next meeting I want some ideas. We have to get those birdmunchies. Okay, lets go to Floriade."
