*A very large SKREE! is heard and there is a flash of green and red feathers. A big parrot wearing a pirate scarf on its head appears and the nasty bird nips Shagbark's ear in passing as it fastens its talons on Harry's umbrella and tears a hole in it. Flint chortles nastily and continues his rampage by attacking the resident Pelican. Feathers fly! So does the Pelican, beating a retreat to the Foredeck. Flint turns a beady bright eye on m-r.*

¬Flint¬ I'll have no strange birds aboard, missy! *poops emphatically, and flies away.*

The Parrot has departed. The Pelican glides in and lands in the hot tub. He waddles out and puts one of the chocolate eggs in his pouch.
