0:01:15 > 0:01:17Squawwwwk!

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Hi, I'm Andy.

0:01:19 > 0:01:24I work in a dinosaur gallery here in the National Museum.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28I love my job. There's so many interesting things to find out.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32Today, there's a brand-new exhibit all about flying dinosaurs.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34I can't wait to see it.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42That looks really good.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Hatty?

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Hatty?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Oh!- There you are, Andy.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51You've got the skeleton, too. Wonderful.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Now, could you just put it down there?

0:01:55 > 0:01:57What do you think of the display?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00It's great. What are these things here?

0:02:00 > 0:02:04These are fossils of feathers that existed millions of years ago.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07I knew bone turned to stone over millions of years.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09I didn't realise feathers did, too.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13What bird did this come from?

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- An iberomesornis. - An iberome-who?

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Iberomesornis - it was a bird

0:02:18 > 0:02:21that lived in the forests of Spain 127 million years ago.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Incredible.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Oh, what have you been painting, Hatty?

0:02:27 > 0:02:30This.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32What bird did that belong to?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Funnily enough, a pigeon.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37A pigeon? Never seen a blue pigeon before.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Which is why I had to paint it.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41You painted the pigeon?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44No, not the pigeon, you noodle, the feather.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48I thought, as we had all these fossils of different feathers,

0:02:48 > 0:02:51I'd try to show what they might have looked like

0:02:51 > 0:02:53all those millions of years ago.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57So, I found the father of a pigeon and painted it.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Good job.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02I just need to dry it before the museum opens.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Would you mind just turning on the fan?

0:03:04 > 0:03:08Great. Just make sure you don't put it onto three,

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- otherwise we'll lose... - Oh, I've got it! I've got it!

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Come back! Oh! Oh!

0:03:14 > 0:03:15Ohh!

0:03:17 > 0:03:18It's gone.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23I spent ages making that and the museum opens in a moment.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25CLOCK CHIMES

0:03:26 > 0:03:29CLOCK STRIKES THE HOUR

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Leave it to me. I'll sort it out. - But you don't have time.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36I'll make sure I get another feather exactly the same.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Really?- Trust me.- Thanks, Andy. I knew I could count on you.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Always!

0:03:41 > 0:03:45You know what this means? Time to go on a dinosaur adventure!

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Waistcoat.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00Gizmo.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01Hat.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04And last, but not least, Hatty's backpack.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24To the time of Iberomesornis!

0:04:24 > 0:04:27CLOCK CLINKS AND WHIRRS

0:04:48 > 0:04:51WHOOSH!

0:04:51 > 0:04:53I've made it!

0:04:53 > 0:04:57I've travelled back in time 127 million years,

0:04:57 > 0:04:59to the time of Iberomesornis.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Incredible.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06DINOSAURS SQUAWK AND ROAR

0:05:07 > 0:05:10DINOSAUR ROARS

0:05:10 > 0:05:13That sound was coming from an iguanodon.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16I'm going to track them down.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27There they are - iguanodon.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29They're heading towards the forest.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32If I follow them, they may lead me to the birds.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40IGUANODON ROAR

0:05:47 > 0:05:48A polacanthus!

0:05:48 > 0:05:51The spikes may look scary but actually,

0:05:51 > 0:05:54they're just gentle plant eaters.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59Well, this is great. But I still haven't found any birds.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03And I'll not be able to hear them with these noisy plant munchers!

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I'm going to need to find a proper forest,

0:06:06 > 0:06:10then I've got a better chance to find iberomesornis. Erm...

0:06:16 > 0:06:17Excuse me.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Why walk when you can travel in style?

0:06:25 > 0:06:30Now, we are heading straight for the forest and there, hopefully,

0:06:30 > 0:06:33finally, we'll get to see some iberomesornis.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Come on, boy. Full steam ahead!

0:06:43 > 0:06:46There are definitely more trees around here,

0:06:46 > 0:06:49but the more trees there are,

0:06:49 > 0:06:53the more my trusty polacanthus stops to eat them.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57I mean, look, he's so excited his tail's wagging.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00What is that?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Ah! For a moment, I thought it was a bird.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19But it's not. It's a pterosaur.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23And this one is called an ornithocheirus.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Look, he's eating his fish.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29He's just gobbled it down, didn't even chew.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30DINOSAUR CHIRPS

0:07:30 > 0:07:32What was that?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35This iguanodon is warning the other iguanodon.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37No wonder!

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Look - it's a hungry Utahraptor.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Looks like the iguanodons are on the menu.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Come on, run faster!

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Nice turn!

0:07:48 > 0:07:51He seems to be coming this way.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Uh-oh!

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Whoaaa!

0:08:04 > 0:08:06That was lucky!

0:08:10 > 0:08:12This is brilliant!

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Not only am I getting a lift

0:08:13 > 0:08:17on one of the largest flying animals that ever lived,

0:08:17 > 0:08:20but we're also flying over some thick forest.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Come on, ornithocheirus, let's land.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30Watch out below, here we come!

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Easy now.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34That's it.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Nice and gentle.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Oof!

0:08:40 > 0:08:45Wow, that wasn't the smooth landing I was looking for.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47BIRDS CHEEP

0:08:47 > 0:08:49That sounds promising

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Birds!

0:08:53 > 0:08:56OK, you stay here, get yourself some water.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59I'll be back later for a lift. Don't go anywhere.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02I'm going to go find me a feather.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41I've been following the birdsong around this forest for a while now

0:09:41 > 0:09:45and all of a sudden, it's just stopped.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47SPLAT!

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Great! What did that?

0:09:53 > 0:09:55It's an iberomesornis!

0:09:56 > 0:10:00And they're blue, just like Hatty thought they'd be.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04OK, I think I've got an idea.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13Oh, look - it's a blue feather!

0:10:13 > 0:10:16This is exactly what I came here for.

0:10:16 > 0:10:22Oh, better be careful not to disrupt any of these eggs over here.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25If I just...

0:10:25 > 0:10:27There we go.

0:10:27 > 0:10:28BRANCHES CRACKLE

0:10:28 > 0:10:31No!

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Owww!

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Where's the feather? The feather?

0:10:39 > 0:10:43Oh, look, and there's not just one,

0:10:43 > 0:10:45there's lots of them.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Thanks, iberomesornis.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50- CLOCK CHIMES - The clock!

0:10:50 > 0:10:53I've got just enough time to get back to the clock

0:10:53 > 0:10:57and then get these back to the museum before it opens.

0:10:58 > 0:11:03Whoa! OK, OK, it's all right! I'm going! I'm going!

0:11:03 > 0:11:06They don't seem very happy with me.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13No, don't scare the ornithocheirus away.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Wait! I need a lift back!

0:11:19 > 0:11:21What am I going to do now?

0:11:22 > 0:11:26Hatty's backpack - there's always something useful inside.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31These will be safe in here.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Rope? What am I going to do with this?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Hang on, he's coming back.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43I've got an idea.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Right, here goes.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49I've only got one chance at this.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53Here I go!

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Woo-hoo!

0:11:57 > 0:12:01Fly, ornithocheirus, fly!

0:12:01 > 0:12:03There's the clock.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Coming in to land...

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Thanks, ornithocheirus.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Time to head back.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Whoa!

0:12:24 > 0:12:27CLOCK CHIMES

0:12:50 > 0:12:53CLOCK STRIKES THE HOUR

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Hurry along, now.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17We don't want to turn into dinosaurs ourselves, do we?

0:13:17 > 0:13:20These are the fossils of different bird feathers.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23And why do we have bird feathers here?

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Because birds are actually a type of dinosaur.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Yeah, grumpy as well!

0:13:28 > 0:13:31This is my very favourite bird feather,

0:13:31 > 0:13:33the further of an iberomesornis.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Thanks, Andy, that feather looks fantastic.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40And I can't believe you manage to find two more.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41By the way,

0:13:41 > 0:13:45I think you may have a bit of paint or something on your shirt.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Thanks.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Sh! See you next time.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04# One, two, three, for

0:14:04 > 0:14:07# Andy's dinosaur adventures

0:14:07 > 0:14:11# Dinosaur, dinosaur adventures. #
