Coconuts & Talking Parrots

What tropical island story doesn't have coconuts.

It's another food source and would add to merchant products. Here are some ideas as to how they might work.

1. 5 or 6 to a crate/barrel.

2. They can be found in palm trees.

3. Tree needs to be hit a few times to dislodge them so they fall down, or pirate can climb and pick them.

4. They need to be broken with a few blows against a hard object before being consumed.

5. They could be used as cannon balls

6. Something to eat other than bananas

And how about some talking parrots. I mean, come on...

You can't have a pirate story/game without talking parrots. Would be hysterical. They could sit on our shoulders and follow us around, cackling and saying things to annoy us or make us laugh. Great fun.
