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

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]

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
