It was a bird. A bird the size of a dog perched on a banister. A bird that could talk.

It said something about Raph's life that this wasn't even close to the weirdest thing he'd ever seen. After, all he was giant, talking turtle that had been raised by a giant talking rat and trained in ninjutsu. His own existence was the weirdest thing most people would ever see.

Raph liked birds. He wasn't sure if he'd like him when he talked back, but he had something of a way with the pigeons back home.

"So. Hi. You're new."
