HOUSTON, CHINESE PURPLE PEOPLE EATER HAS LANDED

PPE
 Just   arrived  from  China  is  the  above  replacement   Purple People Eater nest  for sea-going  Lorikeet , Larry , holidaying  on  Magnetic Island.   As  reported  earlier, Larry  is very protective  about  his  current  PPE  which   he  has  had  for  some  time  and refuses  to allow  anybody  to  touch it . Alert  to  everything  going  on  about  him , Larry spotted  the parcel  being   unwrapped  and   could   hardly believe  his  eyes  when  he realised  what  he  saw- another PPE!  He  danced  a  sailor’s  jig , imitated  the  call of  a Coucal and a Crow , laughed ,   said    hello,  rattled  off  several buggers , threw in a few hurry ups   and   whistled . The  PPE  was  washed  to  remove  any  possible harmful chemicals  and   pegged  out  to  dry.  Now  comes  the  tricky  bit - removing  his old nest  when he is not looking  and   inserting  the  new one .
