Is Flint territorial? This is a pelican's nest. If Pele were here, and Flint came along, would they fight over this place? Just wondering. smiley

Does Flint have a place of his own? If not, would it help to try to set something up for him?

Flint does have a place, and if you look there you will see mari-rae was there trying to poison the birdseed.

Pele is one of the few inhabitants of this ship who never fights with flint. Flint accepts that this is Pele's place.

Here is a sample from the earlier struggle at flint's cage.
It all started when flint destroyed Mari-Raes hat.
Returns to find a chick in her trap.*

Hahahahahaha! good. Now I can use one of Flint's babies to try to catch him.

*Pockets the chick and leaves a note for the parrot. To wit: I have one of your chick s. If you want it back you can find him/her up in the Crow's Nest with me. You owe me one straw hat. *

There. That should do it.

You notice that was when we still had a crows nest rather than a Pelicans nest.

Were the crows no-shows? Dud they get hired away by another rival ship?

Actually I believe we lost them in a hurricane over Cuba which brought down the mast.
If you go back to post one in this thread you see what happened next.
I was fairly new to the crew at that time.

It's all water under the bridge

And that's where we traditionally favour it to be

I was just looking at the backlog and in Sept. 2002 "one flew over the pelican's nest." That one was the Captain's parrot Flint. I have lost track of how many times since he has shown up there and how mari-rae has reacted <chuckle> The interaction between those two is kind of amusing actually.

It's amusing if you are far enough away that you don't get hit by sharpnel or feathers or beaks.winkeye

How do you heal injuries sustained by wood? Does an extra layer of varnish help?

*Climbs up the rigging*

How do you like my new hat? It looks like a large floppy straw sunhat, but it actually is a titanium alloy. Flint will never penetrate this one!

*feels rather warm under her new hat*

I'm finding it a bit difficult to see your new white hat in this white Pelican's Nest ... and if i could see it, how would I know whether Flint has "decorated" it or not?
