6. I Don't Care What They Told You, You Can't Keep Those Birds
After the last time his brother had set fire to the couch (using nothing other than a stick and cognac, which was amazing on its own) Germany had decided to set up a surveillance system so he could keep an eye on him while at the office.
"Bruder I'm serious. I know you brought all those birds to the house. I'm seeing them right now. They can't stay"
There were all kinds of birds everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. From bright colorful ones fluttering around the book cases, to a few owls on top of the refrigerator.
Prussia gave a high pitched whine and fell over the sofa. A few bright orange birds took flight, circled a bit around the lamp and then set down on the coffee table.
"But I love them so much!"
"I know."
"And they told me they could totally stay with me!"
"I don't care what they told you, you can't keep those birds!"
Prussia whined again, and Germany turned off the cameras. He couldn't stand to see him suffer, and he had to gather the strength he would need for when Prussia inevitably cried once the birds left.
He called the bakery to order his brother's favorite cake, and then set to design a bird playground in the back garden where the birds could visit his brother.
