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

START EPISODE #8

Four weeks later

"Right are we all here?"

Yeah, except for Kalki. But he’ll will be along shortly.

"Got his wings back, has he?"

"Yeah, reckons he’s a new bird."

"That’s great. However we can’t wait for him, so I’ll call this meeting to order. The only item on the agenda is..."

"Dum."

"Hey that’s a bit rough Rosso, he’s doing his best. If it wasn’t for Tandar.."

"Yeah Rosso give him a break. Just because you think you’re so smart."

"All I was trying to say...."

"Still he does have a long tail!"

"What in criminy does that have to do with anything Piki."

"Well a friend of mine says that a birds IQ is in proportion to the length of their tail.

The longer the tail the lower the..."

"Wouldn’t happen to be a quail, this friend of yours?"

"Actually Piki could have something. Look at peacocks. But I still think Rosso’s out of order."

"Rosso’s always been out of order. He’s a total galah."

"IF YOU’LL JUST SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT. What I was trying to say is that the word is agenDUM not agenda. If there’s only one item it’s agendum. DUM gettit."

"Well thank you Rosso for that little bit of learning. Now if you’ve quite finished we’ll get on with the meeting. As I was trying to say, the only item...."

"Here comes Kalki."

"Hooray, hi Kalki hows the feathers."

"Pretty good considering. But it will be a long time before I fly into a tunnel again."

"They say that in a situation like that your whole life flashes past your eyes. Did that happen to you?"

"Well no, it was more like it went round and round."

"IF I COULD JUST HAVE YOUR ATTENTION FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS."

"Sorry Tandar.

"Yeah, sorry Tandar, you were saying?"

"Right, the only item on the agenda, don’t say it Rosso, is the liberation of birdmunchies from Vortex. Anyone have any ideas.?"

"We need a good one Tandar. After what happened last time, people are starting to laugh at us."

"Yeah some sparrows called us the guano gang."

"I’ve got it Tandar."

"Well don’t come near me Rosso. It might be catching."

"Very funny Squill. Tandar what we need to do is get into the factory, and stay there overnight. Then we could gather some munchies and fly out as soon as they open the doors next morning."

"Oh, good one Rosso. Bet you burnt the midnight oil coming up with that. How would we get in? They’ve put wire on the windows now, even the ones in the roof. And if we did get in they’d see us and chase us out. It’s impossible."

"Shut up Drongo and listen. I know how to do it. What we need is a Trojan horse!"
