SCENE Rosita and Elmo play a rhyming game, when they hear a “peep” noise. Suddenly, a baby bird appears. They try peeping with the bird, thinking it will summon the mother. Chris hears the peeping and investigates. He spots a nest nearby and believes the baby bird would be safe there. Just as Chris puts him by the nest, the bird rushes back to them.
4195c

4195d
SCENE cont'd Rosita suspects the baby is hungry, but they have no bird food around. Big Bird passes by and recalls when he was a baby and ate birdseed when he was ready. He just happens to have a sack of birdseed on him, which the baby bird devours. Still hungry, the bird goes on a rampage, eating Leela’s sandwich, Kaitlyn’s apple, Cookie Monster’s cookie (in a manner Cookie gives kudos for) and almost Slimey (who ducks out of sight).
4195e
SCENE cont'd Chris tries putting the bird back by the nest again, but he comes rushing back. The baby bird then makes the motions of flying, which they think means he wants to fly. Rosita tries to flying by mimicking an airplane, but crashes. Elmo tries spinning like a helicopter, but just gets dizzy.
4195f
SCENE cont'd Just then, Abby floats by them. They realize Abby can fly and ask her to teach the baby bird how. Abby tries to perform a magic spell to make the bird fly, but Chris stops her mid-spell to explain she doesn’t need to use magic, since she already has wings. She, Elmo and Rosita sing “The Flapping Song” for the bird, which helps the baby bird learn to fly! Baby Bird then flies off on his way.
4195g
SCENE cont'd Since Baby Bird is gone, Chris assures them he will do fine on his own, when the mother bird appears, thinking Chris is her baby and tries to feed him a worm. The baby bird flies back and goes off with his mother.

Muppets / Animation Abby's Flying Fairy School
The class plays with Niblet, the class pet. It’s Gonnigan’s turn to hold him, but he’s to afraid to and disappears. Blogg then tries to and Niblet steals his wand. After a chase, he runs into a crayon drawing n the wall. However, they are unable to get inside. Spot shows them videos of doors, which gives them the idea to use a door. After twinkle-thinking, Abby realizes the drawing is Gonnigan’s and he can draw a door on it. Once inside, they try and follow him, but he draws a river between them. Abby draws a pumpkin to get them across, but Gonnigan adds a sail. Once on the river, Niblet re-draws it as the top of a mountain. Gonnigan adds wheels to get down to him, but Niblet draws a second hill, causing them to slide back and forth between them. Niblet escapes the drawing and heads into his Gerblecorn hole. They try opening it with a spell (rhyming “door” with “Zsa Zsa Gabor”), but find out magic can’t open it. They sob at the idea of never seeing Niblet again, which brings him out of his hole. He gives Blogg his wand back and has Gonnigan hold him. Mrs. Sparklenose rewards them (and the viewer) with a gold star.
