	SCENE	Leela fixes Elmo and Abby's rocket and they begin playing spaceship, making "brr brr" sounds for their rocket. Bert rushes in, thinking he's heard a blue-bar pigeon. He shows them his Pigeon Life List, featuring seven different varieties of pigeons. He has a check for each one, except a blue-bar. Upset, he leaves for home. The two decide to help Bert out by finding the pigeon for him. Abby magically whips up some safari gear and they use their binoculars to look for a bird. They see one in the distance and go to him.
	SCENE cont'd	They find the bird and think he's the blue-bar pigeon. The bird scoffs, stating he's a chickadee. He shows them his bard call, which they imitate. He tells them to look for a bigger bird.
	SCENE cont'd	The two come across a robin, who snootily tells them she's not a pigeon. He demonstrates her singing and tells them to look for a bird with blue stripes.
	SCENE cont'd	Hearing another bird call, they find a bird with blue stripes on him. The bird tells them he's a blue jay, not a pigeon. He demonstrates his bird call for them, which they imitate too. Elmo remembers the sounds they were making sounded a like a pigeon, so they listen for the pigeon's bird call. They hear a noise they haven't heard and spot a pigeon in the garden. They get Bert, who faints at the sight of the pigeon. He comes to and checks the bird off on his list. Now that his list is complete, he initiates a pigeon party!
