OWL HOOTS | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
Hi, I'm Andy. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
I'm in charge of the Prehistoric Gallery | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
here at the National Museum. I have been working on a display | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
about a giant bird that lived 49 million years ago. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
This is a model of its egg. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
I can't wait to see what it looks like on the nest. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
ANDY HUMS TO HIMSELF | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
Right, I'll just pop this down here. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Hello, Andy! | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
Eugh! Oh. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Hi, Jen! You scared me. I almost dropped the egg. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
-It's very fragile. -Sorry, Andy. I've got those | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
pictures you asked for, here on this disc. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
Brilliant. I just need to finish this off. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
I hope you're not having that rotten egg for your dinner. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
No! This isn't real. Mrs Pickles made this out of plaster | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
and just finished painting it. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
-Then I definitely wouldn't eat it! -No, I wouldn't recommend it. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:23 | |
This is the egg of a Gastornis - a huge, prehistoric bird. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
And this is the nest. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
We're not sure what colour the eggs were, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
but Mrs Pickles has spent a long time studying Gastornis and she | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
seems to think that this shade of green is right. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
Um...but I thought bird eggs were white. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
Well, actually, bird eggs come in a whole range of different colours. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
-If you load up these pictures, I will show you. -OK. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
Chicken eggs... CLUCKING | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
..what we eat for breakfast. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
CHIRPING | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Starling eggs are blue. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Peregrine falcons, they lay brown eggs. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
STRAINING | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
And there's even a bird called Cetti's warbler that lays red eggs. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
-That's brilliant. -I know! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
So, you see, it is perfectly possible that Gastornis eggs | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
-were green. -Ah. Um...white. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
-No, Jen - green. -No, the egg's white. -Hmm? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
What?! | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
What's happened to the paint? What...? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
Oh, no! | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Mrs Pickles spent ages working out the right colour for this. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
She'll be so upset. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Well, don't worry, Andy. We could just paint it again. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
Yes, we'll paint it again. We just need some lime green paint. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
Don't you mean grass green? | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
-Or was it apple green? -Or pea green? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
-I can't remember what green it was! -Um...we could ask Mrs Pickles. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
She has already gone home. We need to sort this out ourselves. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
-I don't know if we have enough time. -CLOCK CHIMES | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
SQUAWKING | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
"Time"... That's it! | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
Jen, you stay here and go and get the paints and the paintbrushes. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
I'll be back soon with the right colour. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Time to go on a prehistoric adventure! | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
Um, but, Andy...where are you going? | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
Hmm. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:45 | |
Waistcoat, hat, backpack, gizmo. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
To the time of Gastornis! | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
Whoa!!! | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Whoo-hoo-hoo! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Whoa!!! | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
Wah-hoo!! | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
Oh... Ooh, I've made it! | 0:05:34 | 0:05:40 | |
I've travelled back in time 49 million years... | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
..to the time of Gastornis. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
SPLURGE! | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Whoo! These mud springs, they stink of rotten eggs! | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
SQUEAKING | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
I don't think I'm going to find a Gastornis egg here. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
Whoo! No, I'll look somewhere else. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
PARP! | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
BRAYING | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
Look at these guys! | 0:06:16 | 0:06:17 | |
They are called Palaeotherium. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
They were the great-great-great-great-great | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
great-great-great-great-great-great | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
great-grandparents of the modern-day horse. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
It also says that they were very shy, | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
so I am not going to speak too loud. I don't want to scare them. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
SWOOSHING | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
BRAYING | 0:06:42 | 0:06:43 | |
Oh...you see? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
They are even scared of falling seeds. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
BRAYING | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
That's not a falling seed... | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
..it's a Gastornis! | 0:06:56 | 0:06:57 | |
CAWING | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
Come on! | 0:07:07 | 0:07:08 | |
Whoa! Look at the size of her! | 0:07:16 | 0:07:17 | |
She is at least my height... | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
..and about five times as heavy. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
And her beak! | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
It's massive! | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
CAWING | 0:07:25 | 0:07:26 | |
She wasn't chasing the Palaeotherium, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
but she definitely wanted to get her in a hurry. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Maybe she's protecting her nest. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
And where there's a nest, there might be an egg. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
CAWING | 0:07:46 | 0:07:47 | |
Of course! | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
When you are as big as she is, and you can't fly, | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
you have to build your nest on the ground. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
CAWING | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
I think there's even an egg in there! | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
I can't quite see the colour. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
Oop, she's going. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
CAWING | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
I need to try and get closer, but without being spotted by mum. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
I know - I'll shrink down to the size of a chick. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
To the size of a Gastornis chick. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
Perfect! | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
Ah! | 0:08:47 | 0:08:48 | |
Amazing! Not only is there an egg in the nest, but it is exactly | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
the same colour as the one that Mrs Pickles made. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
Right, I'll just take a photo. DISTANT CAWING | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
Hang on a minute. What was that? | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
The Gastornis is coming back! | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
Um... | 0:09:10 | 0:09:11 | |
CAWING | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
CAWING | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
Oh! Thank goodness for that. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
For a moment there, I thought I was going to be bird food. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
Right, now, let's take a picture and get back to the museum. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:38 | |
All right. One, two... | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
CRACKING | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
What's that? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
What's going on? | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
It's hatching! | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
Oh, wow! | 0:09:55 | 0:09:56 | |
It's a Gastornis chick! | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
Oh, this is incredible! | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
And now, I can take a piece of shell back to the museum. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
That's much better than a photo! | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
HIGH-PITCHED CAWING | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
Excuse me, could I have one of your eggshells, please? | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
HIGH-PITCHED CAWING | 0:10:15 | 0:10:16 | |
Oh, great! | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
Thanks. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 | |
Oh, eggshells are quite heavy when you're tiny like me. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
HIGH-PITCHED CAWING | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
Now to get back to the museum, so I can paint Mrs Pickles' egg. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
See you later! | 0:10:36 | 0:10:37 | |
Huh! Oh, no! | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
Ants! | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
And they're not just ordinary size. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
These are giant ants! | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
And if I don't distract them, they could eat the chick! | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
Over here! Come and get me! I'm the tasty one! Whoa! | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
Whoa! | 0:10:55 | 0:10:56 | |
Oh! Ohh... I've saved the chick, but who's going to save me? | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
My backpack! It's always full of useful things. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
A scarf. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:28 | |
Flying goggles? How are these things going to help me? | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
All right! This is going to be fun. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
See you later, ants! | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
It's time to go! | 0:11:46 | 0:11:47 | |
SWOOSHING | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
Whoa! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
Whoa-ho-ho-ho! | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
Yeah! | 0:11:57 | 0:11:58 | |
This is brilliant! | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
Time to head back! | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
BIRDSONG | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
DOING! | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
SQUEAKY VOICE: Oh, no! I'm still really small! | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
BEEPING | 0:12:18 | 0:12:19 | |
Back to normal size! | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
Yes! | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
CHIMING | 0:12:28 | 0:12:29 | |
Oh! Mrs Pickles! | 0:12:29 | 0:12:30 | |
-Jen! -Andy, I got the paint. Did you get the right colour? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
-I have got the exact colour right here. -Where did you get..? | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
-No time to explain. Mrs Pickles is on her way. -I'll mix the paint. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:00 | |
-Good morning, you two! -TOGETHER: -Morning, Mrs Pickles! | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
Just popped in to see how my egg looks in your new display. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
Fantastic! Good job, you two! | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
That green colour looks great! | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
You don't look too great, though, Andy. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
I think you might be coming down with something. Perhaps you had | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
better take the morning off. Ooh! You, too, Jen! | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
-It's OK, Mrs Pickles. -No buts! Off you go. Have a nice lie down. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
Join me when you feel better. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
See you next time! | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
Come on, Jen. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:50 | |
