Part 10: Radio 1: Living With Birds
Part 1: Living With BirdsHi, everybirdie! Im Kawara Ryouta, a rock dove from 2-3. I seem to be in charge of the questions corner.
I think you all can tell what were doing here just from the name, but since its the first time, Ill explain.
In the How and Why Question Box, Ill be answering letters youve all sent in.
Itll be pretty relaxed. Bear with us!
Because this is the first time, Ive made sure to pick things which dont spoil any of the BBL route from the full version.
If you havent finished yet, spoiler landmines can be scary! But dont worry, there wont be any of those here.
Lets get started, then!
Now, for our very first letter, from one Aviophile. This is a historic moment, everybirdie!
Y-you seem awfully sure about this !
Ummm Actually, Hiyoko told me a little about her dream wedding a long time ago.
If she still wants to have a bungee wedding, a dress would be risky for either of us It would be nice if we could wear our streetclothes.
Anyway, next letter!
I dont know what life expectancies were like before, but some have increased over the past 100 years or so.
Doves still have much shorter lives than humans, though. Thats just how it is.
Oh, sorry! Were getting gloomy already. Let me change course a little!
Lets regroup and move on to the next letter.
I was told to answer anything for Hiyoko as best I could. Umm
Hiyokos really something. Shes been wild and rugged ever since we were very young Ive always admired her, too.
She never really complains, so Im not sure I know of anything thats really given her trouble.
The one time I can think of would be the time her den got hijacked.
It looked really tough. As long as there are living creatures, there will always be turf wars.
She said the fight with the boss jackal lent an entirely new meaning to the phrase domestic violence, so maybe thats a good example of a quarry which gave her trouble, as well.
The next letter is addressed to Nageki.
I think we should have him answer this himself.
Nageki! Nageki, are you here?
Oh, good! I was worried Id have to call you on the announcer.
Is that microphone on?
Yup! Were on the air right now.
W-wait! Dont leave yet!
Just answer one question! Please?
Fine. But once Ive answered, Im leaving.
Thank you! This letter was asking if you make wishes on Tanabata. Id like to know what you wish for, too
I dont. Wishes are for superstitious children.
Dr. Iwamine always makes one
Oh! Did you make them when you were younger?
Yes.
What sort of things did you wish for back then?
Im always hoping for the same thing I know how it is.
Are we done? Im leaving.
Oh, yes. Sorry for holding you up. See you!
Right.
The next one is for San! It isnt signed. Its a little long, but Ill try to read it in one go.
Hif-hif is the Japanese onomatopoeia for sniffing.
Mofu-mofu is the Japanese onomatopoeia for feeling something fluffy.
Ha-ha is the Japanese onomatopoeia for me feeling glad that I dont have to transcribe this mess.
Coo, coo! (Your love has been delivered!)
Cooooooo! (Will you accompany Okosan on a journey? True Pudding awaits!)
On that note, the last letter here is for San, as well. From one Ori!
Umm, I think I should start by talking about Sans actor. This will get a bit meta.
In reality, he isnt interested in pudding at all. Please dont try to feed a dove pudding!
Doves arent particularly hard to care for. Anyone whos kept a budgie or sparrow or anything should find it pretty easy.
A racing bird would be a little more difficult, but for a fantail or the like a fairly small cage is fine. A rabbit cage works very well.
However, doves arent very common pets, so there arent many veterinarians who know how to treat them.
Doves are usually very healthy, and rarely get sick, but you might want to make sure theres a clinic nearby which will receive them just in case.
Theyre not common in general pet stores, but theres usually a section for doves in places that specialize in birds. Have a look around!
