Amused Duer

Beginning last summer Twitter user @fuguhitman began illustrating his personal backlog of bird-bread puns. His first starchy birb was the Sparroll and he claims to have at least 20 to work through. With 9 completed thus far, we have one question for him: why did you wait so long to share these works of punny goodness with the world?

Follow @fuguhitman on Twitter to make sure you don’t miss out on the rest of the breadbird flock and little bonus birbs such as this chocolate chick cookie:

I don’t have time to do the complete dialogue but the gist is: The main characters have a club (the titular “inko colours” = Parakeet Colours) and they’re hanging out talking about what to do today (”The crows have been loud. Don’t go to the train station”) when the sparrow shows up and tells them about a frightened birb.

They go over and try to lure out the scaredybirb (Fuuta, the budgie with no scarf) by looking like they’re having so much fun that he can’t help joining them, just like the story about “That one god who holed up in a cave until he other gods threw a party and she couldn’t help but join them”.

Their first try - the sparrow dance - doesn’t work (”because that was too weird”) but the second - tickling each other - does, and Fuuta comes out.

Turns out Fuuta is lost so the Colours decide to help him get home. They fly around searching but have no luck since Fuuta’s description is so vague (”How can you expect anyone to know what their own roof looks like?”), but then Fuuta remembers about the orange tree in the yard that his young human fed him fruit from.
