(Scene swaps to Mr. Tickle tickling lots of Mr. Men and Little Misses and goes all the way to Mr. Bump and Miss Whoops on a plane and tickles Miss Whoops causing Mr. Bump to fall into the "O" in the logo)

Mr. Bump: The Mr. Men Show!

(A big yellow screen comes up with "Birds" written on it, Mr. Scatterbrain in a chicken suit with an actual chicken, who created the episode underneath, and the sounds of a bird warbling and a duck quacking are heard)

(The episode begins with a shot of a vulture and their nest)

Narrator: Ah...birds!

(The camera pans up to show Mr. Nosey and Mr. Small in one of their flying machines. They are flying with a flock of birds)

Narrator: The Mr. Men and Little Misses marvel at the many winged creatures that take to the sky!

(The birds fly closer to the screen. Mr. Small and Mr. Nosey do the same with Mr. Nosey using a telescope to see what's going on down on the ground)

Narrator: Some will do just about anything to get a close-up view of a bird.

(The camera moves down to show Little Miss Sunshine feeding some birds on the ground)

Narrator: While others are happy to have the birds come to them.

(Little Miss Sunshine and the birds she was feeding notice something offscreen. The birds fly away as Mr. Scatterbrain walks over from stage right. Mr. Scatterbrain is wearing a chicken suit and a bunch of chickens follow him)

Narrator: Of course, there are those who are very serious in their love for these creatures. But who are we to judge!

(The camera moves stage left over to Mr. Quiet's Zen garden. Mr. Quiet is mediating in his Zen garden with a bird sitting in a nest in a nearby tree)

Narrator: There's little doubt that the good people of Dillydale respect their feathered friends. Even when their bird song gets a little excessive!

Mr. Quiet: Om...

Bird: (chirps)

(Mr. Quiet snaps out of his meditation)

Mr. Quiet: Huh?

(Mr. Quiet looks up at the bird in annoyance. Then he resumes his mediation)

Mr. Quiet: Om...

Bird: (chirps)

(Mr. Quiet looks up at the bird in annoyance)

Mr. Quiet: Is that really necessary?

(Mr. Quiet tries to resume his meditation)

Mr. Quiet: O...

Bird (offscreen): (chirps)

Mr. Quiet: Oh! You leave me no choice.

(Mr. Quiets puts ear plugs into his ears)

Mr. Quiet: Humph!

Miss Chatterbox (offscreen): Hi there, Mr. Quiet!

(Mr. Quiet's earplugs launch out of is ears. Little Miss Chatterbox is shown behind the white fence behind Mr. Quiet)

Mr. Quiet: (sighs) If you don't mind, I'm meditating. Just sitting here nice and quietly. Alone with my thoughts.

Bird: (chirps)

Miss Chatterbox: Gosh, that bird is really loud. I could hear him all the way over in my garden!

(Mr. Quiet facepalms himself. Little Miss Chatterbox reveals that she is holding a small tree)

Miss Chatterbox: I don't know how you can relax with all that noise. Well, I'd better get back to my little tree. They say talking to your plants helps them grow! I'll let you know if it works. Goodbye!

(Little Miss Chatterbox walks away with her little tree)

Miss Chatterbox: So, how do you like it here, little tree? Are you getting enough sun? Not too much sun! At least not without some...

Bird: (chirps)

Mr. Quiet: Huh! Oh!

(Mr. Quiet gets up, leans a ladder onto the tree, climbs up the ladder, and grabs the nest with the bird in it)

Mr. Quiet: (mutters incoherently)

(Mr. Quiet moves the nest and the bird to another tree away from his Zen garden)

Mr. Quiet: Huh. Hmm.

(Mr. Quiet pats the bird to show that there are no hard feelings. The bird, annoyed about being moved, pecks at Mr. Quiet)

Bird: (chirps)

Mr. Quiet: (grunts)

(The bird flies away)

Mr. Quiet: Huh! Some thanks!

(The scene cuts back to Mr. Quiet resuming his meditation in his Zen garden)

Mr. Quiet: Om...

Several Birds: (chirping, squawking, and cawing)

(The camera zooms out to reveal that the original bird has moved their nest back into Mr. Quiet's tree and several more birds have made themselves at home in said tree)

Mr. Quiet: (sighs)

(Fed up with all these noisy birds, Mr. Quiet gets up and goes to get something offscreen. Mr. Quiet returns driving a bulldozer. Mr. Quiet then uses the bulldozer to scoop up the tree full of birds. He drives the bulldozer past Mr. Happy and Mr. Tickle's houses, pyramids, and finally puts the tree in a hole next to an apartment building)

Mr. Quiet: That should do it.

(Mr. Quiet backs the bulldozer up. The scene cuts back to Mr. Quiet's Zen garden where he resumes his meditation)

Mr. Quiet: Om...Om...

(Little Miss Chatterbox shows up driving another bulldozer carrying her now giant tree. The tree is full of birds and Little Miss Chatterbox places it in the hole where Mr. Quiet's tree was)

Miss Chatterbox: Look here, Mr. Quiet! Talking to your tree really works! Hey! Since your tree is gone, why don't you take mine! It even comes with birds! And some of them are going to have BABY BIRDS! I love the sound of baby birds!

(Little Miss Chatterbox backs the bulldozer up)

Birds: (chirping and squawking)

Mr. Quiet: Oh!

(Mr. Quiet facepalms himself again)

Mr. Quiet: Oh!

(Little Miss Chatterbox is shown driving the bulldozer with the tree on it across the screen. This acts as the transition to the first bumper. (The bumper is shown through binoculars. We see three bird's nest each with eggs in it. One of the eggs in the third nest hatches and Mr. Small is revealed to be inside the egg)

(TV static appears on the screen before cutting to the "a word from Mr. Tickle" screen)

Mr. Lazy (voiceover): You're watching Dillydale Television

("The Tickle Expert" begins)

Mr. Tickle: Hello! And welcome to "The Tickle Expert!"

(The TV screen becomes a full screen)

Mr. Tickle: I'm your host, Mr. Tickle! I know everything there is to know about tickling!

(Mr. Bump walks onscreen carrying a watermelon)

Mr. Bump: And I'm Mr. Bump!

(Mr. Tickle tries to tickle Mr. Bump but Mr. Bump shoos Mr. Tickle's hand away)

Mr. Bump: (mumbles as he shoos Mr. Tickle's hand away)

Mr. Tickle: And today, we're here to show you...the different ways to tickle a bird!

(Mr. Bump is surprised by this revelation)

Mr. Bump: Uh, tickle a bird? I thought we were tickling watermelons today?

Mr. Tickle: Well, that could happen too. But first, we're going to tickle birds! Let's get started, shall we?

(Mr. Tickle runs offscreen and proceeds to tickle Mr. Bump)

Mr. Bump: (laughs) No! (laughs) Okay! Okay!

(Mr. Bump accidentally throw the watermelon up into the air and the watermelon falls and breaks open on Mr. Bump's head)

Mr. Bump: Oh! (moans in pain)

(The scene cuts to Mr. Tickle hiding behind a thick branch. A parrot is shown on a perch far from Mr. Tickle)

Mr. Tickle (whispers): Every bird needs a different kind of tickle. Take that parrot, for instance. When tickling parrots, you should never let them see you coming!

(Mr. Bump tiptoes to the parrot hiding behind another thick branch)

Mr. Tickle (whispers): Go and give him a tickle, Mr. Bump!

(The camera zooms in on Mr. Bump and the parrot)

Mr. Bump: Uh...uh...Polly want a tickle?

Parrot: (squawks)

(Mr. Bump smiles as he sees the parrot smile)

Mr. Bump: Ah.

(Mr. Bump tickles the parrot)

Mr. Bump: (chuckles)

(The parrot pecks at Mr. Bump in retaliation)

Mr. Bump: Ow! No! OW!! (moans)

(Mr. Tickle pops up)

Mr. Tickle: Parrots might act like they don't want a tickle, but deep down they really do!

(Mr. Tickle crouches down below the screen)

Mr. Bump: Ow! Ow!

(Mr. Tickle sneaks up behind the parrot)

Mr. Tickle: That's why it's best to use "The Sneak Attack Tickle!"

(Mr. Tickle tickles the parrot from behind)

Parrot: (squawks with laughter)

Mr. Tickle: See how simple it is?

Mr. Bump: Ow!

(Mr. Bump falls on his back)

Mr. Bump: Ugh!

(The scene transitions to a farm. Mr. Tickle and Mr. Bump are there along with two turkeys)

Mr. Tickle: Tickling turkeys can be a bit tricky.

Mr. Bump: Uh...

Mr. Tickle: That's why I invented "The Gobble-Gobble Tickle!" Give it a try, Mr. Bump.

Turkeys: (gobbling)

Mr. Bump: Do I have to?

Mr. Tickle: Don't worry! The Gobble-Gobble Tickle never fails!

Mr. Bump: Uh, um...gobble gobble? (chuckles nervously)

(Mr. Bump tickles the turkey under their chin and the turkey starts pecking at Mr. Bump)

Turkey: (gobbling angrily)

Mr. Bump: OW!!!! Ow!

Mr. Tickle: Well, almost never fails. When performing The Gobble-Gobble Tickle...

(The turkeys continue to peck at Mr. Bump)

Mr. Tickle (overlap): It's very important to sound like a real turkey!

Mr. Bump (overlap): OW!! Ow!

Turkeys (overlap): (gobbling angrily)

(Mr. Tickle does The Gobble-Gobble Tickle on one of the turkeys and they calm down)

Mr. Tickle: (gobbling) Gobble gobble!

(The scene transitions to Mr. Bump and Mr. Tickle nervously approaching a Large Hooked-Beaked Eagle)

Mr. Tickle: Of course, the most dangerous bird of all is the Large Hooked-Beaked Eagle!

(Mr. Tickle briefly tickles Mr. Bump)

Mr. Tickle: When it comes to tickling them, you just have to be brave!

(Mr. Tickle moves Mr. Bump in front of the eagle)

Mr. Tickle: Show them, Mr. Bump!

Mr. Bump: Uh actually, about that brave part...

Mr. Tickle: But you're the bravest person I know.

Mr. Bump: I am?

Mr. Tickle: Of course.

Mr. Bump: Well, since you put it that way...(chuckles)

(Mr. Bump tickles the eagle)

Eagle: (shrieks)

Mr. Bump: Wah!

(The eagle grabs Mr. Bump with their talons and flies upwards)

Mr. Bump: Woah! Woah-ho-ha-ho!

(Mr. Tickle nervously raises his hat before getting an idea)

Mr. Tickle: That eagle really needs a tickle!

(Mr. Tickle tickles the eagle)

Eagle: (laughs)

(The eagle releases Mr. Bump from its talons)

Mr. Bump: (screams)

Mr. Tickle: Well, that's all the time we have for today. I'd like to thank my co-host, Mr. Bump!

Mr. Bump (offscreen): (screams)

(Mr. Bump lands on the perch stomach first then bounces next to Mr. Tickle in visible pain)

Mr. Bump: Oh! Ow! I never learn.

Mr. Tickle: Thank you for tuning in. And remember, anyone can be a bird tickling expert!

Mr. Bump: (moans)

Mr. Tickle: All you have to do is tickle!

(Mr. Tickle tickles Mr. Bump)

Mr. Bump: (laughs) Stop! No! Stop! Ow!

(The scene transitions to the next bumper. The bumper is shown through binoculars. We see two bird's nest each with eggs in it. The third nest, however, has Mr. Scatterbrain wearing a chicken suit in it. Four tiny Mr. Scatterbrains in chicken suits then pop up and all 5 of them smile)

(The eagle flies upwards carrying Mr. Bump)

Eagle: (shrieks)

(The scene transitions to a desert-like mountainous area)

Narrator: A popular pastime in Dillydale is bird watching!

(Mr. Fussy, Mr. Messy, Mr. Rude, and Mr. Strong walking on a path to do some bird watching)

Narrator: Everyone loves being out in the fresh air, witnessing nature at his finest!

(Mr. Nervous is revealed to be riding on Mr. Strong's back)

Mr. Nervous: Ey!

Narrator: Well...almost everyone.

Mr. Rude: Mr. Fussy! You don't know what you are doing! We have been walking all day!

Mr. Messy: Yeah! The cheese in my sock is starting to melt.

(Mr. Messy shows everyone the cheese oozing out of his sock)

Mr. Fussy: (sighs) Have patience, gentlemen. The Giant Blue-Bellied Buzzard is a very shy creature!

Mr. Strong: Uh, Mr. Fussy. Why are they called "giant?"

Mr. Fussy: Because, Mr. Strong, They're big.

Mr. Strong: Oh right!

(Mr. Nervous taps Mr. Rude on the shoulder)

Mr. Nervous: Uh, Mr. Rude. I don't mean to complain, but you didn't mention anything about...(gasps)...giant when you invited me along!

(Mr. Nervous starts to quake in fear)

Mr. Nervous: (whimpers)

Mr. Rude: Pah. It must have slipped my mind.

Mr. Messy: Can I borrow your binoculars, Mr. Fussy?

(Mr. Fussy jumps in reaction to Mr. Messy inching closer to him)

Mr. Fussy: (gasps)! Oh, very well. But...do take note that they are perfectly clean! I expect to get them back that way!

Mr. Messy: I'll do me best.

(Mr. Fussy hands Mr. Messy his binoculars)

Mr. Nervous: (screams) No! GIANT!!

Mr. Fussy (whispers): Let's keep our voices down! Loud noises makes a Giant Blue-Bellied Buzzards very angry.

(Mr. Messy looks through the binoculars)

Mr. Messy: I see them! Up there!

(The viewer sees the Blue-Bellied Buzzards through the binoculars. The scene cuts back down to the ground. Mr. Messy is still looking through the binoculars but somehow, the binoculars are not covered in sock cheese)

Mr. Messy: Shazam! Those are some big buzzards!

Mr. Fussy: Let me see!

(Mr. Fussy takes the binoculars from Mr. Messy)

Mr. Messy: Wha-

(Mr. Fussy is about to look through them when he discovers that they are covered in sock cheese)

Mr. Fussy: Oh! Mr. Messy! What did you do to my binoculars?

Mr. Messy: I don't know.

Mr. Fussy: Why is it that you are completely unable to respect other people's things? I have a good mind to-

(A Blue-Bellied Buzzard snatches Mr. Fussy up with her talons. Mr. Fussy drops his binoculars in the process)

Mr. Fussy: (screams)

(The Blue-Bellied Buzzard flies away, carrying Mr. Fussy with her)

Mr. Fussy: (screams)

Mr. Strong: That buzzard has got Mr. Fussy!

Mr. Rude: I, for one, am glad he is gone.

Mr. Nervous: Well, that was fun! Let's do it again sometime!

Mr. Strong: Can't leave now, Mr. Nervous! We have to rescue Mr. Fussy!

Mr. Nervous: No! We should go home! Mr. Fussy would have wanted it that way!

(Mr. Messy looks through the binoculars to see Mr. Fussy still being carried away by the Blue-Bellied Buzzard. The viewer sees this through the binoculars)

Mr. Fussy: Help!!!

(The scene cuts back to Mr. Strong, Mr. Nervous, Mr. Rude, and Mr. Messy. Mr. Messy lowers the binoculars after seeing Mr. Fussy in trouble)

Mr. Messy: Mr. Strong's right! He's gonna need our help! Unless you want Mr. Fussy to spend the rest of his life as a bird.

Mr. Rude: To each is own.

Mr. Strong: Uh...I don't know. I think he needs us!

(Mr. Strong shouts over to Mr. Fussy)

Mr. Strong: Mr. Fussy! We're coming

(Mr. Grumpy holds up a CD for "Little Miss Sunshine's Bird Songs." Two birds are perched on the CD case)

Mr. Grumpy: With ten original songs, you won't be disappointed.

(Little Miss Sunshine is shown riding inside a pelican's beak)

Miss Sunshine: 🎶When your beak is your backpack, there's no where you can't go!🎶

(A fish is shown in Little Miss Sunshine's hair and she is visibly embarrassed when she finds out)

Miss Sunshine: 🎶Oh!🎶

(Three birds fly onto Mr. Grumpy's head)

Mr. Grumpy: And the number one dance hit, "Party of Pink."

(Little Miss Sunshine is shown dancing with flamingos on a beach)

Miss Sunshine: 🎶There's a party going on and it's not what you think! A flamingo fie fiesta feathered only in pink🎶

(The scene transitions back to Mr. Grumpy)

Mr. Grumpy: So buy your very own Miss Sunshine's Bird Songs today. And when I say it to the birds...

(The camera zooms out to show that Mr. Grumpy is surrounded by birds)

Birds: (chirping, cawing, and warbling)

Mr. Grumpy: I mean it.

(The screen fades to black. TV static appears on the screen before cutting to the "a word from Mr. Tickle" screen)

Mr. Lazy (voiceover): You are watching Dillydale Television

("The Tickle Expert" begins)

Mr. Tickle: Hello! And welcome to "The Tickle Expert!"

(The TV screen becomes a full screen)

Mr. Tickle: I'm your host, Mr. Tickle! I know everything there is to know about tickling!

(Mr. Bump walks onscreen carrying a watermelon)

Mr. Bump: And I'm Mr. Bump!

(Mr. Tickle tries to tickle Mr. Bump but Mr. Bump shoos Mr. Tickle's hand away)

Mr. Tickle: And today, we're here to show you...the different ways to tickle a bird!

(Mr. Bump is surprised by this revelation)

Mr. Bump: Uh, tickle a bird? I thought we were tickling watermelons today?

Mr. Tickle: Yeah, that...that could happen too. But mostly we're here to tickle birds! Let's get started, shall we?

(Mr. Tickle runs offscreen and proceeds to tickle Mr. Bump)

Mr. Bump: (laughs) No! Oh-ho! No! Okay! Okay!

(Mr. Bump accidentally throw the watermelon up into the air and the watermelon falls and breaks open on Mr. Bump's head)

Mr. Bump: Ow!

(The scene cuts to Mr. Tickle hiding behind a thick branch. A parrot is shown on a perch far from Mr. Tickle)

Mr. Tickle (whispers): Every bird needs a different kind of tickle. Take that parrot, for instance. When tickling parrots, you should never let them see you coming!

(Mr. Bump tiptoes to the parrot hiding behind another thick branch)

Mr. Tickle (whispers): Go and give him a tickle, Mr. Bump!

(The camera zooms in on Mr. Bump and the parrot)

Mr. Bump: Uh...Polly wanna tickle?

Parrot: (squawks)

(Mr. Bump smiles as he sees the parrot smile. Mr. Bump tickles the parrot but the parrot pecks at Mr. Bump in retaliation)

Mr. Bump: Ow! No! OW!!

(Mr. Tickle pops up)

Mr. Tickle: Parrots might act like they don't want a tickle, but deep down they really do!

(Mr. Tickle crouches down below the screen)

Mr. Bump: (moans)

(Mr. Tickle sneaks up behind the parrot)

Mr. Tickle: That's why it's best to use "The Sneak Attack Tickle!"

(Mr. Tickle tickles the parrot from behind)

Parrot: (squawks with laughter)

Mr. Tickle: See how simple it is?

Mr. Bump: (moans)

(Mr. Bump falls on his back. The scene transitions to a farm. Mr. Tickle and Mr. Bump are there along with two turkeys)

Mr. Tickle: Tickling turkeys can be kind of tricky. That's why I invented "The Gobble-Gobble Tickle!" Give it a try, Mr. Bump.

Turkeys: (gobbling)

Mr. Bump: Do I have to?

Mr. Tickle: Don't worry! The Gobble-Gobble Tickle never fails!

Mr. Bump: Um...gobble gobble?

(Mr. Bump tickles the turkey under their chin and the turkey starts pecking at Mr. Bump)

Turkey: (gobbling angrily)

Mr. Bump: Ow! Doh! Ow!

Mr. Tickle: Well...almost never fails. When performing The Gobble-Gobble Tickle, it's very important to sound like a real turkey!

(The turkeys continue to peck at Mr. Bump)

Turkeys: (gobbling angrily)

(Mr. Tickle does The Gobble-Gobble Tickle on one of the turkeys and they calm down)

Mr. Tickle: (gobbling)

(The scene transitions to Mr. Bump and Mr. Tickle nervously approaching a Large Hooked-Beaked Eagle)

Mr. Tickle: Of course, the most dangerous bird of all is the Large Hooked-Beaked Eagle!

(Mr. Tickle briefly tickles Mr. Bump)

Mr. Tickle: When it comes to tickling them, you just have to be brave!

(Mr. Tickle moves Mr. Bump in front of the eagle)

Mr. Tickle: Show them, Mr. Bump!

Mr. Bump: Uh actually, about that brave part...

Mr. Tickle: But you're the bravest guy I know.

Mr. Bump: I am?

Mr. Tickle: Sure.

Mr. Bump: Well, since you put it that way...(chuckles)

(Mr. Bump tickles the eagle)

Eagle: (shrieks)

Mr. Bump: Woah!

(The eagle grabs Mr. Bump with their talons and flies upwards)

Mr. Bump: (screams)

(Mr. Tickle nervously raises his hat before getting an idea)

Mr. Tickle: That eagle really needs a tickle!

(Mr. Tickle tickles the eagle)

Eagle: (laughs)

(The eagle releases Mr. Bump from its talons)

Mr. Bump: (screams)

Mr. Tickle: Well, that's all the time we have for today. I'd like to thank my co-host, Mr. Bump!

Mr. Bump (offscreen): (screams)

(Mr. Bump lands on the perch stomach first then bounces next to Mr. Tickle in visible pain)

Mr. Bump: Oh! Oh, you never learn.

Mr. Tickle: Thank you for tuning in. And remember, anyone can be a bird tickling expert! All you have to do is tickle!

(Mr. Tickle tickles Mr. Bump)

Mr. Bump: (laughs) Stop! (laughs) No (laughs) Stop! Ow!

(The scene transitions to the next bumper. The bumper is shown through binoculars. We see two bird's nest each with eggs in it. The third nest, however, has Mr. Scatterbrain wearing a chicken suit in it. Four tiny Mr. Scatterbrains in chicken suits then pop up and all 5 of them smile)

Eagle: (shrieks)

Mr. Nervous: Geh!

Narrator: Well...almost everyone.

Mr. Rude: Mr. Fussy! You don't know what you are doing! We have been walking all day!

Mr. Messy: Yeah! The cheese in my sock is starting to melt.

(Mr. Messy shows everyone the cheese oozing out of his sock)

Mr. Fussy: (sighs) Have patience, gentlemen. The Giant Blue-Bellied Buzzard is a very shy creature!

Mr. Strong: Uh, Mr. Fussy. Why are they called "giant?"

Mr. Fussy: Because, Mr. Strong, They're big.

Mr. Strong: No kidding!

(Mr. Nervous taps Mr. Rude on the shoulder)

Mr. Nervous: (makes a sound) Mr. Rude. I don't mean to complain, but you didn't mention anything about...geh...giant when you invited me along!

(Mr. Nervous starts to quake in fear)

Mr. Rude: Pah. It must have slipped my mind.

Mr. Messy: Can I borrow your binoculars, Mr. Fussy?

(Mr. Fussy jumps in reaction to Mr. Messy inching closer to him)

Mr. Fussy: Oh! Uh, very well. But...do take note that they are perfectly clean! I expect to get them back that way!

Mr. Messy: I'll do my best.

(Mr. Fussy hands Mr. Messy his binoculars)

Mr. Nervous: (screams) GIANT!!

Mr. Fussy (whispers): Let's keep our voices down! Loud noises make the Giant Blue-Bellied Buzzards very angry.

(Mr. Messy looks through the binoculars)

Mr. Messy: I see them! Up there!

(The viewer sees the Blue-Bellied Buzzards through the binoculars. The scene cuts back down to the ground. Mr. Messy is still looking through the binoculars but somehow, the binoculars are not covered in sock cheese)

(Mr. Fussy takes the binoculars from Mr. Messy and is about to look through them when he discovers that they are covered in sock cheese)

Mr. Fussy: Ugh! Mr. Messy! What did you do to my binoculars?

Mr. Messy: I don't know.

Mr. Fussy: Why is it that you are completely unable to respect other people's things? I have a good mind to-

Mr. Fussy: (screams)

Mr. Strong: That buzzard's got Mr. Fussy!

Mr. Rude: I, for one, am glad he's gone.

Mr. Nervous: Well, that was fun! We'll have to do it again sometime!

Mr. Strong: Oh can't leave now, Mr. Nervous! We have to rescue Mr. Fussy!

Mr. Nervous: No! We should go home! Mr. Fussy would have wanted it that way!

(Mr. Messy looks through the binoculars to see Mr. Fussy still being carried away by the Blue-Bellied Buzzard. The viewer sees this through the binoculars)

Mr. Fussy: (screams)

(The scene cuts back to Mr. Strong, Mr. Nervous, Mr. Rude, and Mr. Messy. Mr. Messy lowers the binoculars after seeing Mr. Fussy in trouble)

Mr. Messy: Mr. Strong's right! He's gonna need our help! Unless Mr. Fussy wants to spend the rest of his life as a bird.

Mr. Rude: To each is own.

Mr. Strong: I don't know, I think he needs us!

(Mr. Strong shouts over to Mr. Fussy)

Mr. Strong: We're coming Mr. Fussy!

(Mr. Strong's echo is heard as the Blue-Bellied Buzzard brings Mr. Fussy to her nest. The nest is on a cliff and has two chicks already in it)

Mr. Strong: Aw pickles!

Mr. Fussy: Thank goodness for friends! To think of what might've become of me if you hadn't come to my rescue.
