Bin Chicken Lights Up The Night
Bin Chicken's been flying, feeling quite spent, when ... 'Hey! What's that marvellous scent?' Spices fill the air, rice and curries simmer. 'Delicious,' she says. 'That's my dinner!' It's Diwali, and Ibis has crash-landed in a colourful and bright festival of lights ... now is her time to shine!
