Koohii stories:

1) [EusthEnoptEron] 23-12-2008(23): The bird got tired of the mountain he lived on, so now he's flying away searching for an alternative island.

2) [abaddon] 14-6-2008(12): Mountain, bird: On the alternative island, birds could just breed beside the mountains instead of upon one. The hippies didn't do any harm.

3) [mantixen] 2-8-2009(2): On an alternate type of island, a bird may roost beside the mountain rather than on it.

4) [gavmck] 20-3-2010(1): Islands alternate between those 島 with flightless birds (no aerodynamic tail feathers) and those 嶋 having birds with tail feathers (and the power of flight). The tail-less birds have migrated to the mountaintops to escape persecution from invaders (humans, cats etc.).

5) [Boy.pockets] 7-3-2011(): The bird was going to land on the island, but then it saw the mountain was for birds into [alternate] music, so it swiftly pulled up its tail feathers.
