Fiction and Fun

Heist Coo - Part 3 - Tumbles

Tumbles was a marvel among pigeons in the illustrious city of Aviaro. His reputation preceded him as the most agile tumbler pigeon in the land. Revered for his unmatched acrobatics and swift maneuvers in both the show circuit and the clandestine world of completely random bird-facilitated heists.

As part of an exceptional crew of avian thieves, Tumbles' unparalleled agility made him the crew's go-to infiltrator. His ability to navigate through narrow spaces and slip in and out of secured locations with grace and stealth was unmatched. No one zigged and zagged like Tumbles, no one.

Cliff, Stan, Fannie and Tumbles had a new target. Their latest heist involved the highly secured Aviaro Tower, rumored to house a rare collection of jewels, including the prized "Wings of Aviaro"—a set of enchanted feathers believed to grant flight to the possessor.

Cliff had been contacted by the penguin syndicate based in the far north. They were willing to pay a hefty price for such a prize.

Tumbles, entrusted with the infiltration, embarked on his mission. With the crew's meticulous planning and Cliff's strategic guidance, he navigated through the tower's complex security systems, using his unparalleled agility to slip past guards, avoid laser trip wires and evade video surveillance.

However, as Tumbles reached the inner sanctum where the Wings of Aviaro were displayed, he encountered an unexpected obstacle—a secondary security measure that locked down the chamber.

With his escape route cut off, Tumbles relayed the situation to Cliff, who swiftly devised an alternate plan thanks to a convenient and poorly secured ventilation shaft. Fannie intensified her performance outside the tower, captivating the attention of the guards and reducing the number directing their focus on the unexpected lock down alarm.

Stan, ready to assist, positioned himself strategically, prepared to intervene if needed.

Inside the chamber, relying on Cliff's guidance, Tumbles showcased his agility and resourcefulness, navigating the intricate security system with precision and quick thinking he located a ventilation shaft just loose enough to allow him to wiggle past with the prize.

As Fannie's distraction reached its peak, Stan seized the moment, creating a commotion that drew even more of the guards away from the inner sanctum, providing Tumbles with a fleeting opportunity to make a little noise as he worked his way into the ventilation shaft.

Empowered by Cliff's strategic direction, Tumbles swiftly retrieved the Wings of Aviaro and made his escape, using his acrobatic prowess to elude capture.

Their successful heist was a testament to Tumbles' remarkable agility and quick reflexes, guided by Cliff's strategic brilliance and supported by Stan's unwavering readiness and Fannie's captivating distraction. 

The penguin syndicate paid a hefty reward for the Wings of Aviaro but Tumbles and the gang didn't wait to see if they worked. They had other heists to plan.

Every winter

Every winter, we venture to a national wildlife refuge that is normally off limits but opens for one weekend. There we have seen kestrels on the hunt over the marshes. Great shirt, perfect for my wife!

Great mug for one of our very favorite birds, which is always first at our feeder. Good size and terrific graphic. My wife uses it daily.

Hello, my little chickadee dee dee dee

We adore bird in the wild and at our feeders. When we put up a new feeder, invariably the first to show up is a chickadee. While we are raptor devotees, we do have a soft spot for our little backyard friends. Great shirt and matching cup for my wife.
