Shoe

Cosmo, Sho and Roz sit at one end of the bar, looking at a woman at the other end (about a meter away).
"I hear she just moved here." says Cosmo.
"From where?" asks Shoe.
"Silicone Valley." says Roz.
This is in reference to the fact that the newcomer has large breasts, which Roz believes have been surgically enhanced. Which makes one wonder, given that these people are all birds, why do they have breasts at all?
The more disturbing implication though is that the inhabitants of Treetops are so bitter and socially isolated that they see nothing wrong with having this conversation right in front of its subject, making no attempt to hide it. The possibility of speaking to this stranger doesn't even occur. She is merely part of the outside world which they can comment on but not interact with.
