You follow the light back to your boat and exchange your decoder ring for the green fronds, making room. The you return to the beach and put the plants and a fish in the cage. The bright green looks attractive, even to your own birds, who wait with you. You watch as a flock of some large birds soar overhead, too far for you to fully tell what they are, but you have a guess. One leaves the flock and slowly descends, a majestic sight. It lands by your cage and sticks its head in, eating the fish and picking at the fronds. Then it stands up, confused to have a random box on its head, but smelling more fish on you and coming over to meet your flock.
Congratulations! You have captured a green flamingo!
You see purple, green, brown, and red plants.
Backpack: 4/5 (green fronds [1/2], cage, map, falconry equipment[in use])
Boat: 3/10 (machete, boat lantern, decoder ring)
You are out of bait! Congratulations on all the birds you collected. I will write the closing to your story, including seeing if the bird with the falconry equipment brought back anything. You can keep your remaining inventory in case I ever start this again and you want to play again.
