A meme of sorts
I saw this recently on FFA and didn't want to answer there, but I immediately thought of Biggles, as one does.
Pick one of your canons and let us know which characters would be the best at the following tasks!
1. Shadowing/stalking a complete stranger without getting spotted
2. Capturing and tagging rare birds
3. Participating in a swimming marathon
4. Lead the defence of a besieged medieval city
5. Writing and drawing a comic that makes people laugh
1. obviously von Stalhein, it's canon (though in canon he seems to get caught a lot when he does it)
2. this seems like a Bertie thing
3. I swear I'm not trying to spread it out intentionally across the whole cast but I honestly could see Ginger doing this more easily than any of the others; I don't think they'd be interested. (Biggles: does it have wings? then no.) Ginger seems more, idk, intentionally sporty than the rest.
4. again (more or less) canon for Biggles and von Stalhein, and I feel as if the two of them together are the ideal anyway; von Stalhein's strategic thinking combined with Biggles's out of the box brilliance. (But I think either of them could do it alone, too.)
5. Algy, for sure
What about your canons?

Surely 2 and 3 ought to be reversed? Ginger seems at least vaguely interested in (...though perhaps it's more like Is Commonly Beset By) nature, and we know Bertie is a strong swimmer from Takes Charge, in that scene where he goes "if I can't swim a couple hundred yards I deserve to drown" about a cold lake and Biggles instantly morphs into the Mom Friend :-D

Absolutely the first thing that comes to mind in RE: air-crime-related reasons for collecting and tagging birds:
