On the one hand, Tatsuo actually has two phones. So after the birds start sending strange texts to various people on his contacts list and he hears about it, he's able to do some degree of damage control. On the other hand... he can't actually stop the birds from texting until he gets his main phone back.
A: I might be a bit late, couldn't find my pants and had to go to the police station. Unrelated.
B: did you really kidnap my goldfish last night?
C: sometimes i like to lay on the floor and pretend im a carrot.
D: This is Tatsuo. Please contact me at this number until I get my phone back from the birds.
Do you reply to one of the odd texts? Or do you find Tatsuo in person to question him about it? Maybe be a friend and help him retrieve his phone?

"What the... it's bigger on the inside."
Tatsuo looks around in awe as he explores the elves' workshop. Floor after floor of toy making and yet from the outside it'd looked like such a small building. It doesn't take long for the elves to press him into helping with the toys. Namely stuffing some teddy bears and sewing them shut by hand.

"Hey! Down here!"
Sure, Tatsuo is a little startled by the fact a snowman head is talking to him. But still weirder things have happened in Recolle, so he shakes it off pretty quick. And since it's a Saturday, why not take 30 minutes to build a snowman. He's about half-way through rolling a new base for the snowman when he decides that maybe he needs a little help.
