After extensive consultations with the denizens of the annalid world, prognosis of the astrological community, New Zealanders bring in the little people. Serious work is applied to disguising these sooth-sayers, but we have learned through back channels that they are actually hobbits. Occasionally, when the birds don’t leave on time, they have to pony up and pay Gandalf for a remedy to get the flocks back in synch. You know how the young godwits are… flying helter skelter and feeling those dread hormones.
It is really all about the worm recovery interval . Apparently, the worms begin to figure out that the Godwits have eaten their next of kin and start to hug the mud closer to the rocks underlying all of New Zealand. This makes the fisherman mad. So to keep the winter peace, eventually everyone puts in a bit to cover Gandalfs fees . Now, if Carl Icahn had not gone after cornering the pipeweed markets, perhaps Gandalf would have been able to retire on his pension and could have just done it for free. Damn Wizards.
However, He does throw in the fireworks for free and the giant falcon is particularly effective in getting things underway. Soon afterwards, the beaches will be relatively barren, only an occasional Wrybill or nocturnal probing Brown Kiwi.
