I optimized this swallow for coconut transport.


Technically not a pet, but there are a lot of swallows in our garden at the moment.

That's a European swallow.
I think it has been comprehensively proven that they can't carry a coconut alone.

That's what I optimized.
African swallows are much too expensive.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Only when two European swallows carry them,
suspended on a string between them.

I thought that everyone knew this?

But Mercia is a temerapte zone!
The coconut is a tropical fruit.

How else do you think they end up in
European supermarkets?

Dunno if it is GC (or even the reason for the drawing), but there y'go.
