Kip. 34: Moa the Man-eating Bird

34

While making a stop at an island to take on provisions, Sinbad's group encounter a ship captain who uses a large egg, property of the local god, to get the natives load his vessel with ebony timber. While looking for the surce of the wood, they meet the island's "god", a huge flightless bird, after inadvertently disturning its nest. On their way back, Ali Baba impulsively grabs one of the bird's chicks, thus sending the entire Moa population after them. Using a trick, Sinbad and his friends tame the birds, winning the natives' admiration and thus getting their ship loaded with timber and provisions. (Source: Wikipedia)
