Sprung by da mob

Police were called to the Big Birdbrain garden last night after the £50,000 prize was stolen. "It was terrifying, " plucky TV presenter Davina Macquack said in a special press conference this morning. "We were all geared up for eviction night. Big Vanessa had been voted out by the other garden mates and was getting ready for the cameras, trying to cover her shame with a teatowel after Doris pecked off her tail, when suddenly the sky went dark.
Thousands of pigeons descended on the garden. Feathers were flying everywhere. They smashed the cameras, and everything was in confusion. Nobody knew what was happening, not even Big Birdbrain. The pigeons suddenly disappeared - when everything calmed down, we realised the prize money and Fat Tony had vanished."
"Nuttasha Kerplunkski here, DNN News. Are Doris Budgie and Big Vanessa OK?"
"They're very shocked, but fine. We found Big V. in the garden shed, eating the cress sandwiches I brought for supper. She's clinched a magazine deal, but the photo shoot will have to wait till her tail has grown back. Doris Budgie went back in her cage. She refused to comment on the incident."
"Do you think Fat Tony has been kidnapped?"
"I've got my own theory on that, but my legal team have advised me to say 'no comment.'  I can tell you Fat Tony was very unhappy after the gardenmates failed to complete their task and they were put on iron rations."
"What have the police said?"
"Inspector Jack Daw is on the case. But he said he faces an impossible task - how will he identify the pigeons responsible? There are millions out there..."
