It was time to get back to Seafaring Souvenirs, but Pablo couldn’t stand the thought of sitting by the cash register ringing up mugs and T-shirts and Painted Parrot shells just now. He scooped Birdy up without even holding out his arm and waiting for her to jump on. Elmira Toledo was as annoying as ever, but today she had left him feeling uneasy.

“No one knows what a Seafaring Parrot actually looks like,” said Pablo to Emmanuel, “so what makes her think those old sightings were real?”

“She wants to be famous, probably. The Tip Line is her ticket to fame and fortune.”

“Fortune?”

“Sure. Imagine how much money Elmira could get her hands on if she actually had a real-life Seafaring Parrot to parade around.”

Making money off the mythical Seafarer was something that Pablo had never considered. Pablo and Emmanuel and lots of others in town, including Lula and Pierre, sold lots of bird souvenirs. But they certainly didn’t sell birds themselves. The birds in Isla were free.
