The Birds Discuss Migration

'So...South?'
'Uh...sure.'
'Do you not want to go South?'
'You know, it's just...'
'Yeah?'
'Same old thing, you know?'
'Well, it's warm.  We sort of have to go where it's--'
'I know, I know.'
'--warm.  I mean, that's kind of...necessary.'
'Yeah, I realize that.'
'For, like, survival.'
'But don't you ever get bored?'
'Bored?'
'Yeah, with the whole--you know?'
'Migrating?'
'Yeah.'
'I mean, I've never really thought about it.'
'You've never wanted to...go someplace else?'
'Where would we go?'
'I don't know.  West?'
'Well, we could go west.  We just have to go southwest.'
'Why can't we go northwest?'
'Because it's cold and we would die.'
'We don't know that.  How do we know that?'
'We just do.  It's instinct.  It's survival instinct.  That's how you know if you don't do it, you'll die.  Because the word "survival" is there.'
'We could wear hats.'
'Where would we get hats?'
'It's just a--'
'And it's not so much the cold--'
'--suggestion.'
'--as it is the fact that we won't be able to find food.'
'The wolves find food.'
'What?'
'Wolves.  They find food.  They don't go south every time it gets a little chilly.'
'They're mammals.  They have fur!'
'We could wear coats.'
'How are we going to fly with coats on?'
'Maybe we could walk?'
'So now you want us to walk through the snow with coats and hats on so the wolves have some extra food to choose from come wintertime?'
'Well, geez, you make it sound so silly.'
'IT IS SILLY!  We're birds!  We fly!  Do you know how many other animals would love to be able to fly?'
'Like penguins?'
'Well, yes, I'm sure penguins wish they could--'
'You know penguins live in the South Pole--'
'Oh you've got to be--'
'--where it's very cold.'
'They're penguins.'
'They're birds.'
'They're stupid birds.  They send one of their own into holes in the ice, and if the penguin doesn't come back up, that means something ate it, and they all just waddle away all ticked off that they can't go swimming.  That is their loss prevention!  You want to model yourself after them?'
'You know what?  Maybe I do!  Maybe I want a little more out of life!'
'You want to be eaten by a sea lion?!?!'
'I WANT TO SEE SNOW!'

. . . . .

'I'd like to see it.'
'Oh.'
'Just once.  Just once I'd like to see it.'
'Well...maybe...this year...we can...fly by Colorado...on our way to--'
'We don't have to.'
'No, it's okay.  I...I'd kind of like to see it too.'
'Oh...well then...we should do that.'
'Yeah.'
'Yeah.'
'I think it's a very good idea.'
