01x19 - Falcon City

[bunniefuu]

♪ Wild Kratts! ♪

Hey, it's the
Kratt brothers, here.

I'm Chris.
I'm Martin.

And meet our feathered friend,
the peregrine falcon.

The fastest bird
in the world.

She can hit speeds
of about miles per hour.

And they do amazing things
in the air.

CHRIS:
Like catch birds
right out of the sky.

MARTIN:
Pigeons, seagulls,
blue jays.

But it can be tricky,
filming this high-velocity flier

in hunting action
in the wild.

But through falconry,
the training of hawks

and falcons, we can get
a really good look

at the peregrine falcon's
flying powers.

CHRIS:
Okay, so first,

we get the falcon
ready for launch.

Then, we twirl the lure.

This is the prey
she likes to hunt.

MARTIN:
Whoa!
CHRIS:
Nice!

As she floats a bank turn

and then swoops back in
towards the lure.

Whoo!

Whoo! Now that is
a fast flier!

She knows when she catches
the lure she's gonna get food.

So I keep it
swinging like this.

And then, as she comes in,

right before she gets it,
I pull it away!

Whew.

Whoo-hoo!

She loves this.

She gets to fly,
she gets to hunt.

Whoa!

She's gonna go out
and get it this time.

Oh!
Oh, wow!

(Laughing)

Wow!
What a snag!

You are awesome!

I am really impressed
with your Creature Power.

CHRIS:
So that's the amazing
peregrine falcon in action.

Imagine if we could fly
like a peregrine falcon.

And pull off high-flying speed
and aerial maneuvers.

What if!

Wah-hoo!

(Laughing)

Whoo!

(Laughing)

(Koki laughing)

Blast off!

Whoa-oh!

Help!

Uh huh, oh yeah.

Gravity is fun!

Gravity is why when we
trampoline up,

we fall back down,
whoo hoo!

MARTIN:
Because gravity's always
pullin' us back to Earth.

(All groaning)

What goes up
must come down.

(All laughing)

And gravity wins.

(Laughing)

Hey, Aviva,

how's it going with that
peregrine falcon suit?

Almost there!

This is going to be
the ultimate in flying.

CHRIS:
Oh yeah, because
the peregrine falcon

is the fastest flying animal
on the planet!

Well, if you're
almost there, Aviva,

let's go find
a peregrine falcon!

Tortuga time.

Ready to defy gravity
with hover thrusters.

And fly.

(Engines roaring)

Oh, we could go anywhere
in the world

to find peregrine falcons.

Except Antarctica.

But they live on
every other continent.

Africa, North America,
South America,

Europe and Asia.

Even Australia.

Peregrine falcons could be
wherever their prey is!

Wherever there are flocks
of medium-sized birds.

JIMMY:
So how 'bout here?

The city!?

(Chuckling)

I was hoping for
the Ethiopian highlands.

I was pulling for
the Brazilian pantanal.

Well, you said wherever
there are flocks

of medium-sized birds.

Pigeons?

As far as prey goes,
I was thinking more

flocks of mandarin duck.

I was hoping for convoys
of emerald toucanets.

But pigeons?

Aww.

In the city?

Well, this'll put your
creature adventure skills

to the test, guys.

Can you find a peregrine falcon
in the city?

If you can, then you can fly
the world's fastest flier.

All right,
we're in!

Oh, and I have a special
surprise for you:

Pigeon power discs.

You can start there,

and if you find
a peregrine falcon,

then you can switch
to these.

I'm off to Gears
and Gadget Supplies.

Oh, my favorite pizza place
is a block away.

I'm gonna visit my auntie.

What's exciting about
pigeons?

(Cooing)

What's powerful
about pigeons?

I'm with ya
on this one, bro.

Yeah, let's pass
on the pigeon powers

and just keep our eyes peeled
for peregrine falcons.

(Cooing)

Wha!

This is quickly turning into
the most ridiculous

creature adventure ever.
Hmm.

I wanna have
my snack here.

CHRIS:
Zach Varmitech.

The robotics inventor
who doesn't like animals.

What's he doing here?

I'm ready for my cookie.

Now.

Mmm!
Tasty!

(Laughing)

(Cooing)

Hmm.

(Cooing)

Oh, does the "widdle" birdie
want a cookie?

Well you can't have it!

(Laughing)

Ah!

Hey--

Give me that!
Ahh!

I hate birds!
Huh!

(Laughing)

Well, pigeons can be
kind of funny.

Yeah, we might as well
give pigeons a chance.

At least get to know 'em
a little better.

(Cooing)

Oh!

Hey, where's
she's going?

MARTIN:
She has chicks!

Oh, they're
kind of cute in...

A really weird way.

CHRIS:
They look hungry.

MARTIN:
Oh, bird moms always bring
food back for their chicks.

Yeah, the thrush
brings worms.

Blue jays bring caterpillars.

And peregrine falcons
bring other birds.

So what do pigeons bring?

Cupcakes? French fries?
Pizza crust?

CHRIS:
Wait a sec,
her beak's empty.

What's going on?

(Chirping)

Huh!?

Am I losing my mind,
or is the mother pigeon

spitting up milk
for her baby!?

A bird giving milk!?

But, but, only mammals
give milk!

Kangaroos feed
their young milk.

Horses feed milk,
bears feed milk,

but not birds.

Except for
the pigeon!

A milk-like liquid is
definitely flowing out

of the walls of her throat,
directly into the chick's beak.

Pigeon milk!

Pigeons are one of the few
birds in the world

that feed their young milk.

Weird,
but way cool.

We've really gotta rethink
our thoughts on pigeons.

CHRIS:
Yeah, even the most
ordinary animals

do extraordinary things.

MARTIN:
Uh, Chris?

Do you realize you're leaning
on your activation button

while the pigeon
pecks your nose?

Uh oh!

Chris!

Chris!?
Oh!

(Laughing)

(Cooing)

Oh!

Uh, Chris?

You're eating
an old French fry.

Poo!

Okay, brother
of mine.

Now you've got
pigeon powers.

Whatever that is.

Oh, and by the way,

I'm not thirsty for
pigeon milk right now,

or ever!

Martin, I'm feeling
really weird.

Birds of a feather
flock together.

(Bird screeching)

Peregrine falcon!

(Screeching)

She's hunting...
Pigeons!

Here she comes.

She's going into that dive
called a stoop.

Fly bro, fly!

(Yelling)

We've found the falcon.

But the falcon found Chris.

In his pigeon suit!

On our way!

(Yelling)

Well, one good thing.

What I thought was pigeon fat
is really pigeon muscle.

These pigeons have powerful
chest muscles,

pumping their wings!

MARTIN:
Speedometer reads
miles per hour.

Fast for level flight.

But the falcon's faster:
miles per hour!

Oh, wings tucked in,
hyper streamlined,

she's letting gravity
pull her to Earth,

cutting through the air
like an arrow.

The fastest animal
in the world!

This is amazing!

This is incredible!

This is scary!

Look out, Chris,
she's getting a talon ready.

She's gonna talon-strike
you out of the sky!

Thanks for the play-by-play.

MARTIN:
Roll right!
Whoa!

Whoa, that was close.

Uh oh.

MARTIN:
She's still after you, Chris.

♪

Hey!

Maybe there is some power
in this pigeon suit, after all.

Whoo hoo!

MARTIN:
In level flight,
the pigeon flies fast.

Oh, make that faster
than the peregrine falcon!

Ah, pigeons may just be
more than the funny birds

of the bird world,
after all.

AVIVA:
We're here!

Where are they?

Well, the falcon is gone,
and Chris...

Is missing!

(Traffic sounds)

♪

Oh, I'm pooped!

Must land, must rest.

(Cooing)

Okay, I will pose for
five point two more minutes.

So paint faster!

Huh!?

Those birds bug me.

Zach-bots!

Get rid of them!

Zach, wait!

You, oh, so now
you're bird boy

and you wanna ruin
my painting, huh?

No, I'm just
trying to warn you

that pigeons poop
when they get scared.

Because it's a way
to make them lighter

for flying faster away
from falcons.

So if you scare the pigeons,
well, then...

Boo!

(Growling)

Birds are bad.

They're just doing
their natural thing,

and actually, pigeons
are really interesting.

Bird swatter!

(Screaming)

You missed.

Oh, this is the worst place
for Chris to get lost.

The African savannah,
no problem.

The Australian outback,
no worries!

But the big city?

No way.

Whoa...!

(Gasping)

How do I get back home?

Hmm.

But wait a second!

I've a strong feeling!

That home is...

That way!

Something is telling me
which way to go.

Of course!

The pigeon homing instinct.

Nobody knows for sure how,
but somehow,

by looking at the position
of the sun or stars,

feeling the magnetism
of the Earth

and by smelling,

pigeons have this
incredible ability

to find their way home.

And for me...

That's the park.

Yeah! I made it home
with pigeon power.

Uh oh.

Oof!

(Moaning)

(Cooing)

You made it!

Whoa-oh!

Way to go, bro!

Yeah, whew.

I'm not doing that again.

MARTIN:
Okay.

My turn!

Wha?

(Cooing)

Huh!?

Wait, we need a plan!

MARTIN:
This is my plan.

To wing it like
a wounded pigeon.

(Grunting)

Oh no!

I ate a molding
piece of bread.

I feel so sick!

Oh, I can't fly right.

(Moaning)

(Falcon screeching)

Look out!

The old pigeon with
the tummy ache trick...

Works every time.

(Screeching)

Whoa!

Incoming!

Uh oh.

I gotta get lower
for this to work.

(Screaming)

Huh?

Whew!

Oh no!

She's going
with her other move:

The swoop
under talon grab.

Look out!

Oh!

(Screeching)

Wait, oh--
Oh! Got me!

(Gasping)

(Yelling)

Perfect.

Must be her mate.

Let's fly!

MARTIN:
Oh, a nest!

CHRIS:
In the wilderness,
they're usually on cliffs.

But in the city, buildings
make great nest sites.

(Screeching)

MARTIN:
With a hatchling!

There's a chick inside!

Oh, it must have hatched
just days ago.

CHRIS:
Nowhere near ready
to fly, yet.

MARTIN:
Just downy feathers
to keep him warm.

CHRIS:
No flight feathers
for take off.

Completely helpless.

MARTIN:
And both Dad...

CHRIS:
And Mom...

Take care of Fluff!

Fluff?

Yeah, Fluff the Falcon.

What happens
when she gets older?

Ah, Fluff
works for now.

High wing.
High wing!

You up for a flight test?

Oh yeah!

Ugh!

Look at this mess!

Up here, too!

Yeah, falcon alarm.

Ah ah ah,

Always start at the bottom.

Oh, they're gonna clean
right over the falcon nest.

And Fluff isn't even
ready to fly, yet.

We've gotta
put a stop to this.

Fold in wings
for peregrine falcon dive!

♪

Hmm.

Ahh!

Oh, it's you.

Let me guess,
it's happy bird-day.

No, but it's not a good day
to clean your building, either.

There's a very rare
peregrine falcon's nest

right there, with a chick
in it who can't fly, yet.

So maybe you could just

put off the cleaning
for two weeks,

until the peregrine falcon chick
grows her flight feathers

and flies off.

Two weeks, huh?

No way!

It's my building and
I can clean it when I want to

and I wanna clean it now!

Hey!
Don't miss a spot!

And be sure to get rid
of every bird.

♪

All right, Zach,
if you're gonna be

that way about it,
then we'll just have to

take a different approach.

Let's get some height
on this situation

and take care of these
Zach-bots falcon style!

Yeah, see ya later,
you big flying chickens!

Chickens, ha ha.

(Cooing)

Ahh!

CHRIS:
Okay, you think
we're high enough?

Oh yeah, ready to be
the falcon?

Oh yeah, folding wings
into dive position.

Thanks, MK.

Hey, what's happening!?

AVIVA:
Hello, Zach.

What-- You!

I thought you and your
Zach-bots might like

to fly south for a vacation.

No I wouldn't--
Ugh!

Just until the falcon
chick hatches.

After that would be a better
time to clean your building.

Naah!

Oh, hey, put me down!

I don't like vacations!

You really need to relax.

Have a nice trip!

Whew!
Good one, Aviva.

Well, we all wanted
to get a good look

at a peregrine falcon chick.

I can't believe the world's
fastest flier

could be living on top
of any building.

Cool creatures
are everywhere.

Flying free
and in the city.

Falcon City.

MARTIN:
Fluff's flapping
her wings!

(All laughing)

All right, well, we know
that peregrine falcon

powers are awesome.

CHRIS:
Oh yeah.

And we could fly
this peregrine falcon

all day long, but it's time
for us to appreciate some...

Pigeon powers.

All right, we're here
at a pigeon coop.

Home of Winston,
the pigeon.

That's him in there.

Some people might not
believe that

a pigeon has incredible
creature powers.

But Winston could
prove it.

Pigeons do have an amazing
ability to find their way home

from wherever they are,
whenever, no matter what.

So we're gonna give Winston
a test of his pigeon powers.

We're gonna put him
into this cage...

Close it up,
put a cover on it

so he can't peek
and see where he's going.

And then, we're gonna
take him on a wild ride,

let him go and see if he can
find his way home.

♪

CHRIS:
I'd bet this'll fool him.

This kind of rocking motion,
the elephant motion,

he'll never figure this out.

This is gonna work,
huh, Chris?

Oh yeah.

♪

MARTIN:
That elephant ride's
got him so confused,

his homing instincts must be
totally discombobulated.

Let's test him.

Wait, bro!
We can't let him go now.

He'll just watch us
and follow us back

to his home roost.

We've got to set an
auto-release timer

so that we can get back
to his home roost

without him seeing us.

♪

CHRIS:
I'll give it enough time
so we can get back

so we can get back
to the home roost.

Let's go!

Oh, the a*t*matic release
should be triggering

right about now.

He's never gonna
make it back.

Nah, we got him.
