world We have so many country and folks

on music videos Why don't we do a show

around the musicians who make that kind

of music i love the steel string guitars

I love the fiddlers Wouldn't it be great

to get some fiddlers who can really play

the fiddle bluegrass style that would be

great And we could research the music

and find out the differences between

bluegrass rockabilly country and folk

music And the host can dress in country

clothes And Billy and Ruby can teach the

kids how to do a square dance from their

studio This is all coming together I

think we've gotten a little carried away

We miss our Q Q And now it's time for

our Jessica Freed to present today's top

10 most fascinating facts list And the

subject is birds Hi I'm Jessica Freed

and I'm going to present today's top 10

fascinating facts about birds Number 10

When the male frigot bird sees a female

boy does he blush His throat turns

bright red and blows up like a balloon

Number nine the North American cat

bird's call sounds just like a cat's

meow Number eight the tarmaggan is so

good at camouflage that he is white in

the winter and brown in the summer

Number seven the cape pendulin tit

builds its nest with a false entrance to

confuse its enemies Number six the

flamingo lowers its long strong neck and

beak all the way down to the water and

fishes upside down Number five the

heaviest flying bird is the Cory Bustard

of Africa who can weigh as much as 42

lbs Number four the albatross's wingspan

is so large that it can glide over the

ocean for hours without a single flap of

its wings Number three the smallest bird

the bee hummingbird is only 2 and 1/4 in

long and weighs less than a pingpong

ball

Number two an ostrich egg is so strong

that two adults can stand on it and it

still won't break And the number one

most fascinating fact

is the young hopes and birds of South

America have little claws on the tips of

their wings that they use to climb trees

until they are old enough to fly And

there's more They can swim

too Thank you Jessica And now let's

continue our music video tribute to the

wonderful world of birds Three very

talented brothers who call themselves

going on And they found a rocking robin

We should do a show that involves

science There's so many choices We could

have a marine biologist teach us about

sea life or an astronomer teach us about

the planets or a botist can teach us how

to identify the different types of trees

These subjects sound so fascinating What

did you call them the sciences Well I'd

love to learn more about the sciences

Can Ruby and I help sure There will be a

lot to do We can even use our magic

powers Do you need us to bring some

trees or stars into the studio uh that

might be a little too much but you can

definitely help Well as Lindsay says

cool Aaron sit up a little straighter

please Good and cute Karen Wagner our

bird expert is getting ready to come out

with the blue and gold parrot a cucura

and more Speaking of very impressive

birds the Kids Songs kids got to work

with a Marshall eagle What an incredible

creature His beak is so big and strong

and his claws are huge You got to see

this guy And that's exactly what we're

going to do right now in our video of If

I could talk to the animals We could

talk to the animals Just imagine it

chatting to a chimp and

chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger

chatting to a cheetah What a neat

achievement it would be if we could talk

to the animals learn their languages

maybe take an animal

We study elephant and eagle buffalo and

beagle alligator kitty pig and flea We

would converse in polar bear and python

And we would curse in blue and

kangaroo If people ask us can you

speak we say up

our can you if we can bird with our

furry friends men to animals Think of

all the things we could

discuss If we could walk with the

animals talk with the animals run and

squeak and

[Music]

squ And they could squeak and squeak and

talk to us

[Music]

If people ask us "Can you

speak?" We

say "Can

you burn with our furry friends to

animal?" Think of all the things we

could

discuss If we could walk with the

animals talk with the animals run and

squeak and swap with the

animals And they could squeak and sw and

squeak and talk to us

Let's go tell everyone our great idea

Hey you guys we know what tomorrow's

show should be about

Hello We've come up with a fabulous idea

for tomorrow's show That's great but so

is everyone else What are we going to do

why don't we have a meeting after the

show and discuss everyone's ideas now

that's a very good idea Our guests are

in position Guess The birds are our

guests too Of course Let's roll the

question time graphic You got it In

three two one and take it

Our guest Karen Wagner is from the San

Diego Wild Animal Park And today Karen's

brought with her several of her fine

feathered friends So let's join Karen

Wagner and Ryan McKen on question time

Thank you Erin and Lindsay And thank you

Karen for joining us You're welcome

Thank you for having us However it's not

just me that has come along today My

partner here Debbie Weber is going to be

bringing out some some birds as well as

myself And they're from all over the

world today Oh neat Including this

fellow right here He is an African pygmy

falcon and his name is Norman And

although he may look like a baby bird to

you he is a fullg grown adult No way Yes

he is Oh neat Do they live in nests they

do live in nests but what's really

interesting is that he doesn't have to

build it They share the nest with the

buffalo weaver The buffalo weaver builds

it maintains it and is protected by this

little bird of

prey Well this is a laughing cucura His

name is Zeke He's only four years old

and he does come from Australia Will he

laugh for us well he is called a

laughing cucker because of the song that

he makes He normally laughs almost like

a human laugh first thing in the morning

And believe it or not he already laughed

this morning But we have it on tape for

you to hear Oh

[Laughter]

good This is Grover And Gro Grover is a

blue and gold macaw And I think she

might have a few things to say to us

Grower can you just say hi hi Good girl

Can you say hello hi Grover Good girl

Can you be a little more polite

how are you oh we are doing very well

Are you doing well good Well I think

she's doing well too Let's see if she is

Grover how are you doing are you doing

fine yeah Good girl Well she's having a

lot of fun today Do you like being here

today yes you do Good girl Are you being

funny

can you laugh can you laugh yes Very

nice Ryan would you like to see her

climb yeah So I'm going to put her on

this green rope and she's going to show

you how she uses her zygodactylus feet

and her large beak to climb Now

zygodactylus means two toes in front and

two toes in back And she just did a

great job Good girl Grover Very nice And

finally what advice do you have for kids

who want to train birds when they grow

up well I'm glad that there are a lot

out there that have an interest My

advice to them is to keep studying and

stay in school and to just keep studying

science because eventually they're going

to cross birds in their path and

hopefully someday they can volunteer for

a place that has birds Well thank you

Ken and Debbie and all you birds for

coming today We've had a lot of

featherfilled fun Well I'm glad Thank

you so much for having us and I hope

that you'll come visit us at the wild

animal park I think Grover has something

to say Say bye-bye Bye-bye Good girl

Thank you Karen And now it's time to go

to Billy and Ruby Biggel's dance studio

for their sing and play along

[Music]

Hi kids Billy and I are very happy that

you are going to sing and play along

with us We picked a very cool song It's

called the way you walk Have you ever

noticed that everyone walks a little

differently especially animals I mean a

giraffe doesn't walk like a duck And a

bigle doesn't walk like a turtle I think

I get the idea Now let's teach you a

couple of steps you can do along with

the song This is called the stroll and

it goes like this Remember keep your

thumbs up and shift your weight from

side to side Big sister we're strolling

now Let's try it with the music I love

the way you walk when you're passing by

Rocking with the rhythm Oh my Oh my

You're all so fun You take my breath

away You make us smile when you swing

and

sway Take your first step No going back

Put your best foot forward You're on the

right track You look so cute no matter

what you do Cuz no one else is exactly

like

you I love the way you walk when you're

passing by Rocking with the rhythm Oh my

Oh my You're all so fun You take my

breath away You make us smile when you

swing and sway

Whether you're fast or whether you're

slow you make us laugh when you come and

go Maybe you're big or maybe you're

small Maybe you're short or maybe you're

tall I love the way you walk when you're

passing by Rocking with the rhythm Oh my

Oh my You're all so fine You take my

breath away You make us smile when you

swing and

sway I love the way you

walk I love the way you

are I love the way you are

[Applause]

Okay one last song and then we'll have

the coolest I like all of them Kiddos

Well kiddos that's all we have time for

on this episode of the Kids Song TV show

The one and only show made by kids for

kids and daring kids with a lot of help

from Bigles You're too much Billy Do you

know what to say now sure See you See

you See you Bye

We've been discussing this for 2 hours I

think we need to make a decision Our

rule is that we always agree that

everyone's voting for their own idea Can

I make a suggestion sure Can you come up

with another way of deciding great idea

Ruby We can put each idea down on a

piece of paper and pick one out of a hat

and make the shows in the order they're

picked After all they're all great ideas

And that way every good idea gets a turn

Does that mean I get to wear a kimono

learn how to play a fiddle and look

through a telescope I think we can break

it out for you Billy

Oh goody Oh

boy Man I love this

[Music]

show They got magic powers Can't thank

them enough In the name of the big we'll

keep them a secret coming to the rescue
