Got it without nudges. No trouble.
Thanks Jay

Needed the third nudge to drag me out of a rabbit hole, but got it immediately once refocused. Fun one, thanks. :)

Nonsense! They were carried by 5 ounce African swallows who gripped them by the husk...

That was my first thought too. One of us should be worried:)
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Wait a minute -- are you saying that coconuts aren't migratory?

Didn’t need them but the nudges were almost as enjoyable as the puzzle :)

Off the couch after three nudges. Enjoyed. Super-impressive grid with twelve entries of 8 letters or more. That added to both the meta-solving and grid-solving challenge for me. Big Trouble, indeed. Thanks for the puzzle.

Since the last roll call, another 32 solvers have answered “here.” Some were nudged off the couch, some rose on their own power. That brings the total to 77.

We needed the first nudge, but my wife got it as soon as she saw that. Great puzzle, really enjoyed it!

First nudge and then off the couch, haha.

Big trouble indeed - but big fun for the puzzle! Clever and, of course, I made things too hard, per usual!
