The Bowerbird of

Hey, maybe he
could tell us

how to decorate

Can we visit him?

Of course!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

Mom, can we go ask the
Bowerbird of Growanda Grox

how to decorate
our treehouse?

Visiting a bowerbird

Ooooooh,

I must be!
[chuckle]

But who are you?

Stan, meet Nick
and Sally.

Well hello,

and welcome
to you all.

[gasp] I love what you've
done with your bird's nest.

Nest!
This not a nest!

It's a BOW-ER...

What's a bower?

A bower's
not a flower...

Or a tower...

Or a shower...

It's a place under
the trees to stay

cool for an hour.

And, it's where I can show off a
little to my lady friend.

Well,
where is she?

I haven't met her yet;

but once she
sees my bower...

Razzle Dazzle!

[giggles]
Hmmm....

[humming]

Much better over here!

Um,
Stan,

we need to decorate our
tree house back home.

Can you give us some ideas?

Yeah, like where did
you find all this stuff?

Stuff?

Um he means all these beautiful pebbles.

I love this
smooth one.

Oooh,
isn't it divine?

Hey, we could do that
in the tree-house.

The garden's full
of pretty stones.

Or we could use
some marbles!

I found this,
this morning.

Er...how come
it's moving?

Would you
look at that?

It's not a stone.
It's an egg!

Yes,
it is!

And it's about to hatch!

There must be a
baby bird inside.

Oh,
dear!

I never knew there was
anybody inside this!

What can
we do?

We have to find a
Mom for that egg!

Stan, do you remember
where you picked it up?

It's so-o
hard to say.

I've picked up so many
decorations today.

Erm..oh....

Oh yes!
Follow me!

Wait! Who'll look
after the egg?

When there's egg baby-sitting
that needs to be done,

Who better to call than

Thing Two and Thing One?

Ta-da!

♪

I could have found
the egg here...hmmm.

But where's the bird's nest?

You're standing
in it, mate!

So I am!

So sorry.

We thought birds only
built nests in trees.

We Turkeys prefer to keep
our feet on the ground.

How wise,
you are.

You wouldn't by any chance be
missing an egg from your nest?

[whistle]

♪

An egg like this?

No.

No, mate,
not one of mine.

The turkey eggs
are way bigger.

Yes,
that's right.

It must have come
from some other nest.

Ohhhh....

Fab-u-lous!

I have to have
them for my bower!

They are pretty.

Neat idea!

We could use leaves to
decorate our treehouse.

Time for your nap!

Sweet dreams.

We still need
to find its Mom.

You're right.

Everyone,
look for nests!

I know!
Over here.

I don't see
any birds' nests.

That's because the

another thing

to decorate your bower.

Stones, leaves,
feathers.

just about anything!

Oh my!
What's wrong?

[intake breath] We're
going to be mommies!

What kind
of bird is it?

Not a Turkey!

Not a King Parrot!

Definitely not a bowerbird.

[Cry noises]

[gasps, surprised noises]

Well,
hello!

What kind of
bird are you?

That's not
a bird!

It looks like a little lizard!

My you're clever,

it is a lizard....

Junior?

....and this must
be his mommy!

Oh Junior,
there you are.

I found you!

Oh I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to
take your egg.

It looked so much
like a pebble.

And we've been
looking everywhere

for the nest that
the egg came from.

But we were looking
for a bird's nest.

It's not only birds who lay
eggs in nests, you know!

My nest is a dip
in the ground.

And that's where
you should be!

I'm so happy!

I love a happy ending!
