THE REMARKABLE GHOST PARROT COURIER DELIVERY SERVICE

The development of the Ghost Parrot mail courier service was an extraordinary thing. Unlike our modern email that seldom is able to get a single letter through to Heaven, Fairyland, Gerrymandered Districts or other dimensions, the Ghost Parrot can cross every boundary of time and space.

The Ghost Parrot can effortlessly deliver many different messages all to different locations simultaneously, unlike our modern thumb operated text messages, which are limited by spam rules and carpel tunnel syndrome.

And the Ghost Parrot Courier service is a totally secure message system. No pirates are there to rob. No hackers there to meddle into your private affairs. Of course, the Parrot himself, happened to be a pirate in his day. A reformed bird he is.

HOW THE GHOST PARROT BEGAN

Due to the untimely demise of Scarabeus Binkel's pet parrot, a bird who had faithfully delivered the personal mail of the captain for years, Captain Binkel developed the idea of using the friendly ghost of his parrot to continue his postal duties. At the time he had not considered the implications of the radical technological innovation that he had devised!

The letters below are examples of mail sent out from the Southern Digbyland Penitentiary, or the Nedtown Pen, as it is called. These are sent without worry about prison censors or the urgent secrecy involved in the messages communicated.

At the time it was a great concern in the City of the Moon, to affect the release of Binkel, as he was national hero of the Loonezzi.
