The Amazing NZ Bird Hunt

-------------------------------------

Everyone’s favorite duo went on a lot of fascinating adventures but one adventure that was on their goal list was to go on a New Zealand bird search to make some feathered friends, one afternoon the two of them were hanging out together when Mel came to them with an announcement.  ‘Guess what you two?’  ‘What? Are we going on an adventure?” ‘Yes, it’s one of our goals..we’re going to look for some NZ birdie friends that Peter Weta and Issac will just love.’  ‘That sounds amazing.’

“Will we be able to befriend them?”

“Yes…”

“That is good.”

Mel instructed the two of them to get ready and after lunch that’s what they did, the duo put on their special going out outfits and got their bag ready and walked over to the floating van that was parked outside. The two got in the van with Mel and went down the road, racing all over until they reached Glenfield Mall.  They got out of the van and went down the escalator with Mel and once the escalator stopped, they jumped over and looked around.  ‘Where shall we go first?’ ‘Toyworld.’   ‘Sounds like a plan.’  The group headed over to Toyworld and looked around in it,  Corey floated over to the counter and cleared his throat. ‘Excuse me.’

“Can I help you two?”

“Yes, we are looking for some of those birds that make cute sounds.”

The guide behind the counter told them where to find the birds. As they  flew over to the display with the birds, several toys came to life and greeted them. Corey saw a mini kokako bird and put his ear close to it to see if it could sing…’I cannot hear a song at all coming out of this bird.’  ‘That’s because I am not good at singing..’ the Kokako cried. ‘I’m a bird but i’m not good at singing, i’m a failure.’  ‘Don’t have that kind of attitude.’ Oats responded..’If you want we can teach you to sing.’

The kokako smiled as he nodded, he liked the idea of being taught to sing and the duo performed a musical number with him which he learned how to duplicate as they performed a song together,  the kokako hugged Corey as he felt better about his voice.  Oats then looked through, looking at the other birds.  ‘The bigger kokako is out of stock sadly, so as much as i’d like to take this one home…sorry.’  ‘Maybe it doesn’t have to be in order.’  ‘Good thinking.’ It is then Corey saw an adorable little tui and picked the tui up. ‘Hello, Mr Tui…would you like to be our friend?’  ‘I sure would…let me join you.’

The tui flew over to them as they introduced themselves to him, the tui went in the bag and the duo left Toyworld before heading over to Paper Plus, they were disappointed when they couldn’t find any birds at Paper Plus.  So they headed over to Elements and asked there, but there was only one bird there…a kiwi in rugby uniform, so they headed out and then decided to head out to the Warehouse.

They looked over at the stuffed toy isles a number of times with Oats even taking a look at the coco surprise unicorn, a magical unicorn in an ice-cream cone, the unicorn neighed as she saw Oats and thought of him as a potential parent. Oats didn’t want to break her heart, so he said he’d come back to her again soon. Corey spotted a koala hiding among the soft toys on the shelf and he hugged the koala.  

Oats was tempted to take the unicorn home with him but he decided it was time to head to Whitcoulls, they headed over to Whitcoulls and searched among the soft toy section and that is where they saw a Pukeko that was eager to meet them.  That’s when Oats decided he had found the right bird as he took the Pukeko and put him in the bag with the tui.

After heading to Whitcoulls the duo decided to play around as the area became a lovely forest playground they played on and took on flying forms with Oats becoming akin to a pegasus and Corey becoming half bird-like as they sang together, after playing around they headed to go and have some afternoon tea, they ordered hot chocolate with marshmallows and a lovely cinnamon roll.

When they sat down to eat they talked about all the fun they had, the tui and pukeko introduced themselves to the duo…’I am Tim and this is my pal Pedro.’  the tui explained.  ‘Nice to meet you both.’  Oats loved the rolls and he also really enjoyed the pink fluffy marshmallows that came with the hot chocolate, the two of them shared the drinks and hugged each-other.

“This has been a really fun adventure.”

“Do you think we’ll get to go on another one like this?”

“I definitely think so.”

Mel called them over after they had finished and told them it was time to go home, the group went back to the escalator and they jumped back up on it before heading out to the parking lot and hopping into the floating van. When they buckled up, the van took off into the air and whizzed through the town until it arrived back home at Nile Road.  When they jumped out of the van, they were greeted by their friends. They floated in through the duo and that’s where they saw Zara.  ‘I’ve got some new friends to introduce to you.’ Corey responded, as the two birds flew out and introduced themselves to Zara. Zara thought the new birds were very cute as she hugged them. In addition to this, Zara brought her kokako friend over to meet the others and Corey was very excited to see this.

They celebrated and played together all afternoon and even though Jeemo didn’t come that afternoon, they all were having a good time anyway and listening to music. They interacted and played together and had all sorts of fun together.

After their afternoon playtime it was dinner-time and they had some yummy food for dinner,  they celebrated and played all night,  they played around and had some more fantastic adventures throughout the evening and through the night, and the fun continued. After getting ready for bed at around nine thirty that night, they put on their night clothes and brushed their teeth (the birds brushed their beaks).

They listened to music for a little bit, and when it came for them to snuggle up, they got into bed at around 40 past ten, they all snuggled up together and as Corey and Oats closed their eyes and drifted off, dreaming of a new adventure with their bird friends as the bed transformed into a magical tram car as the duo went on a fantastic adventure through a bird reserve.  And thus with that, they had a wonderful night and an equally as wonderful night-time adventure, but that’s not the only adventure they’ll have.

Stay tuned for more.
