[ Ozzie flips his comm on in the middle of a large room with lots, and lots of bird perches, and a few have some filled, an african gray parrot, a pair of doves together on one, an indian ringneck, and the rest are empty, except for Oswald's shoulder. On his shoulder is a rather large bird.It's astounding how far a good opening can go for one's

The white ones are very pretty.

permavid!

[motherflocker]

[ he looks back at the doves ]

They are quite distinguished, aren't they?

[brevipennate]

Do they have names?

[motherflocker]

As I said, this is Percival. [ and he starts pointing down the line, african gray, doves, ringneck ]

These are Cornelius, Tristan and Isolde, and Augustus.

[enigmaestro]

You are so fond of your little endeavors.

[motherflocker]

Just look at them, Eddie. There's few things in this world more perfect than a flock of birds.

[enigmaestro]

I know better than to argue with you, on this. [He glances sternly into the camera, before returning to his crossword puzzle.]

So I take it your business is flourishing?

[motherflocker]

It's practically flown off on it's own! All I have to do is make an appearance now and then, and things seem to just keep improving. [ and another bone for the lammergeier ]

[Astral's current thought process: BIRDS. Wait, that one looks angry. But they're all so pretty... BIRDS.] They are all very pretty.

[motherflocker]

Oh yes, they are indeed! Such beautiful creatures.

[currentcy]

Eugh. What's up with people's fascination with ugly birds? Is this some kind of old person thing I wouldn't understand?

voice

[motherflocker]

Ugly? Birds? [ Oh what was that last one-- ] Old!?

Percival can hear you!

voice

[currentcy]

He can? Hey, Percy! What're you doing hanging out with this geezer, too fat to get around on your own? Seems like maybe someone could use a little pluckin'.

[ Surprisingly, the bird lets off one of those bird of prey type calls. ]

Rather, I think there are some geese that may need cooked, sir.

[ pinged by birds and feeling... stupidly threatened by the big one ]

You bought all of them?

permavid

[motherflocker]

Oh yes, of course! Some are harder to get my hands on than others, but in the end, they all roost here.

[hawked]

[ long unhappy (not that this is obvious) pause ]

And you keep them in that room?

[motherflocker]

Of course, it's an aviary. [ He reaches out to tip the camera upward, it's got high ceilings, like he could let them free to fly about. ]
