Looks like Mr. Heywood might have rented out his avian chattels before now. Starting to think he might be unsavory or something.
On the other hand, maybe the bird is the brains of the operation, and Mr. Heywood is just the front man. You never can tell.
Did Tweety make any friends while he was out?
I’d say at-least one:

Conniving bastard.
Jealous?
Well lets hope Hubris doesn’t hear about this, otherwise he might sick Chase Ambule after him, and nobody wants that. Would be amusing to see the Cassowary chase Ambule however. xD Or should I say “Chase Chase”
Hubris doesn’t care – He blames Dusty for the mess, since she brought the bird to the Fest, and she’s the one that gave him the bird. It’s her insurance that’s going to cover “damage” to the bird (emotional suffering).
My sense of this is, if Dusty is this lax with her background-checks of her guests, then she’s getting just what she paid for.
Ambule, hell naw. He’d toss the crazy bomb at him, crazy dog lady.
Dusty, her show, and her insurance, deal with Heywood; the Fest and Hubris have nothing to do with it. All they need is someone filming with a phone at the van and even Chase R. might win.
Or even CCTV security cameras in the parking lot. Next time maybe she’ll check for references and call people who’ve done business with the shyster in the past. Enough people complaining about him charging them for the bird, then him mysteriously having it available to rent again, and he’ll be stuck with an expensive bird.
If Heywood is really renting ‘to the industry’ it wouldn’t take too long for it to get around about he seems to have a lot of cassowarys on hand.
One thing nobody mentions. Captive birds usually have ID tags or tattoos permanently identifying them so as to show they were ‘legitimately acquired’ (such as from eggs of other captive birds instead of wild caught) and are tracked. Insurance would ask for the ID information. One particular one keeps getting paid out. Or a lot smellier, is no ID to be provided. There is just so many ways to track Tweety…
Dear Lord… This guy is even more unsavory than the shark-haired lawyer!
I’d say it’s too-close-to-call.
Their METHODS may be different, but I see little-to-no difference in their level of Morality…
…which is to say, “Pretty Damn Close To None Whatsoever”.
Indeed.
Why do I get the feeling that Bob will be the one to resolve this situation?
Tweety: “Can we come back tomorrow?”
Looked up, a few places have some adults, 7500-10000 euros for an adult bird. The females tend to be meaner, especially if they have eggs. (a fellow in Florida that was breeding a pair, fell between the cages and the female kicked him several times, he was found alive and died from the wounds. The birds and the rest of his approximately 100 animal menagerie were sold at auction). So Tweety is worth approximately 9,150-12,200 USD. Serious amount for insurance fraud.
