0:00:290:00:34

Morning, guys.

0:00:360:00:37

I'm Andy and I work as a park keeper at Pickles' Animal Park.

0:00:370:00:41

It's my job to look after the animals

0:00:410:00:44

and I'm checking on the water birds, like these flamingos.

0:00:440:00:48

They're pink because of the food they eat.

0:00:480:00:51

We have a very interesting bird over here, spoonbill.

0:00:510:00:55

They're called spoonbills due to the shape of their bills -

0:00:550:00:59

they're like spoons.

0:00:590:01:00

Are you saying I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth?

0:01:000:01:04

-You're so cheeky, Andy.

-Everything seems OK here, then.

0:01:040:01:07

-See you later, guys.

-'Come in, Andy. Over.'

0:01:070:01:10

Oh, that's Mr Pickles, my boss. Hello, sir.

0:01:100:01:13

-Andy here, receiving loud and clear. Over.

-'Ah, Andy.

0:01:130:01:17

'I've noticed the sea lions could do with more fish to eat.

0:01:170:01:21

-'Could you bring some over? Over.'

-Not a problem, sir.

0:01:210:01:25

I'm going for my tea break, then I'll bring them over.

0:01:250:01:28

-Over.

-'Ah, good man. Thanks, Andy. Pickles out.'

-Right.

0:01:280:01:33

See you later, guys.

0:01:330:01:35

And he's off, he's off, he's off. Come on, flap those wings.

0:01:350:01:39

-Ah, hello, Kip.

-Ah.

0:01:500:01:52

Oh! Hello, Andy.

0:01:520:01:54

Kip, what are you doing with my gizmo?

0:01:540:01:57

Well, you know how sometimes things get a bit smelly on our adventures?

0:01:570:02:01

Yes...?

0:02:010:02:02

I thought that I might make a few tweaks to your gizmo.

0:02:020:02:06

Oh, great.

0:02:060:02:08

"Tweaks"? Hang on a minute, what kind of tweaks?

0:02:080:02:11

If you smell something a bit pongy,

0:02:110:02:14

then all you have to do is activate the super sweet-smelling sensor

0:02:140:02:19

-and then there'll be no more nasty smells.

-Brilliant.

0:02:190:02:22

Yeah, now all I need to do is test it.

0:02:220:02:25

So, er, what have you been doing?

0:02:250:02:28

I've been to see the water birds

0:02:280:02:30

to make sure they have everything they need.

0:02:300:02:33

Oh. I guess water birds can't be that smelly

0:02:330:02:36

if they've been swimming in the water.

0:02:360:02:39

Well, some of the water birds swim on top of the water,

0:02:390:02:42

-but there are some that like walking.

-Walking?

0:02:420:02:46

In the shallow water.

0:02:460:02:47

And there's this one bird that dives under the water

0:02:470:02:51

and swims with the fish.

0:02:510:02:53

-Really?

-Yup. The bird that I'm talking about is called a gannet

0:02:530:02:58

and they're fantastic at fishing.

0:02:580:03:00

What they do is that they fly high in the sky over the ocean,

0:03:000:03:04

looking for fish.

0:03:040:03:06

When they spot the fish, they dive right into the water

0:03:060:03:09

and swim under the water, chasing the fish.

0:03:090:03:12

A bird that dives into the water and swims like a school of fish,

0:03:120:03:17

I'd love to see that!

0:03:170:03:18

-What are we waiting for, Kip?

-BOTH: Time to go on a wild adventure.

0:03:180:03:23

We'll see them going headfirst into the water

0:03:230:03:26

and swimming like fish!

0:03:260:03:27

-We can test my super sweet-smelling sensor.

-Come on, let's go!

-Yeah!

0:03:270:03:32

-One, gadget pack.

-Check.

0:03:340:03:37

-Two, gizmo with my new super sweet-smelling sensor.

-Check.

0:03:370:03:42

Yeah.

0:03:420:03:43

And last but not least, the Kipmobile!

0:03:430:03:47

Seat belts on.

0:03:470:03:48

Hit it, Kip.

0:03:510:03:52

Lift-off!

0:04:260:04:27

-Ah! Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha.

-Whoo.

-Yeah!

-We're in space!

0:04:330:04:38

-So where to, Andy?

-South Africa, Kip.

0:04:390:04:42

That's where gannets go high-diving into huge schools of fish.

0:04:420:04:47

Right, then South Africa, here we come. Go, cat nav, go!

0:04:470:04:51

Whoa-ho-ho-ho-hooooo!

0:04:510:04:54

-Ah, this is what it's all about, Kip.

-Ah, yeah.

0:05:000:05:04

KIP CHUCKLES

0:05:040:05:06

So what are we looking for, Andy?

0:05:060:05:08

We're looking for the lush, green cliffs of South Africa.

0:05:080:05:12

Oh. Well, in that case, I think we've found them.

0:05:120:05:16

Whoa, there are loads of them! Going to make landing tricky.

0:05:200:05:24

Ah, let's see, where...?

0:05:240:05:27

Oh! There's a spot!

0:05:270:05:29

-Ah! Well, this is better.

-Perfect landing, Kip.

-Thanks, Andy.

0:05:300:05:35

Right, it's time to be on our way.

0:05:350:05:38

I should probably stay behind to make sure that...er...

0:05:380:05:42

oh, those waves don't soak the Kipmobile.

0:05:420:05:45

After all, we don't want to get any salty water in the engine now, do we?

0:05:450:05:49

Of course not. That wouldn't be good.

0:05:490:05:52

No. But don't let that stop you from going, Andy.

0:05:520:05:56

-Oh, don't worry Kip, it won't.

-KIP LAUGHS

0:05:560:05:59

-Well, just be careful.

-All right, I will.

0:05:590:06:02

I'll see you soon.

0:06:020:06:04

Meow.

0:06:040:06:05

This is Bird Island, the largest gathering of gannets in the world.

0:06:120:06:19

KIP ON RADIO: 'Andy.'

0:06:190:06:21

It says here on the cat nav

0:06:210:06:23

that there are over 300,000 gannets on that island.

0:06:230:06:27

Wow! That's an awful lot of birds!

0:06:270:06:30

Yep, that's right, Kip.

0:06:300:06:32

And I tell you what, it's really quite stinky here.

0:06:320:06:35

Phwoar!

0:06:350:06:37

'Why does it smell so bad?'

0:06:370:06:39

It's because of the stinky fish they eat, Kip.

0:06:390:06:42

The smell is really strong!

0:06:420:06:44

I know, Andy! Why don't you use my super sweet-smelling sensor?

0:06:440:06:50

Good idea! You're a genius, Kip. See you later.

0:06:500:06:54

Those waves may be pretty big,

0:06:540:06:57

but they won't get me all the way up here. Ha!

0:06:570:07:01

It certainly is windy, though.

0:07:010:07:03

But I've got just the thing for a windy day.

0:07:030:07:07

KIP LAUGHS

0:07:070:07:08

Ah!

0:07:080:07:09

Activate super sweet-smelling sensor!

0:07:130:07:16

Right. If I use this and this...

0:07:170:07:20

And was it...? Ah, yes, this...

0:07:200:07:22

HE SNIFFS

0:07:240:07:26

Ahh!

0:07:260:07:28

Ah, that's so much better.

0:07:280:07:29

It smells like strawberries and...

0:07:290:07:32

and biscuits.

0:07:320:07:33

-HE SNIFFS

-Ahh!

0:07:330:07:35

Saying that, I could stay here all day,

0:07:350:07:38

but if I want to see them fishing, I'd better follow them to the sea.

0:07:380:07:42

Right, size of a gannet!

0:07:420:07:45

Ah, hello.

0:07:480:07:50

Perfect.

0:07:500:07:51

Now to join you guys up in the air.

0:07:510:07:54

Activate rocket pack!

0:07:540:07:56

Here goes!

0:08:000:08:02

WHOOSH!

0:08:020:08:05

KIP LAUGHS

0:08:100:08:11

This is great!

0:08:110:08:13

Hey, I like the kite, Kip!

0:08:140:08:16

It looks a bit like my old T-shirt.

0:08:160:08:19

I don't think so, Andy.

0:08:190:08:21

KIP LAUGHS

0:08:210:08:23

Oh! Hang on, wait for me, gannets!

0:08:230:08:26

Wow! Look at them all! I'm going to go down there and join them.

0:08:350:08:39

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

0:08:390:08:41

I'm flying with the gannets!

0:08:450:08:48

This is incredible!

0:08:480:08:50

Oh, but hang on. How do they know where to find the fish?

0:08:510:08:56

Ah, that's how they know.

0:08:560:08:59

Dolphins! Wow!

0:08:590:09:02

When the dolphins spot a big school of fish,

0:09:020:09:05

they race towards it as fast as they can.

0:09:050:09:09

And the gannets, they follow them.

0:09:110:09:13

Then, when they reach the fish,

0:09:130:09:16

that's when the gannets start to dive in.

0:09:160:09:20

Hover mode.

0:09:230:09:25

Let's see gannets catching fish underwater.

0:09:250:09:28

From around ten metres up,

0:09:280:09:30

the birds dive beak-first towards the water,

0:09:300:09:33

closing their wings at the very last second,

0:09:330:09:36

so they hit the water at an amazing 100kph!

0:09:360:09:40

This is incredible! Look at them all.

0:09:400:09:43

When they fold their wings and dive in, they're like arrows.

0:09:430:09:47

Hopefully, we'll get to see them swim like fish, too! Come on!

0:09:470:09:52

Oh, I'm not going to need this hat.

0:09:520:09:55

Activate rocket pack underwater mode!

0:09:580:10:01

Whoo-hoo!

0:10:020:10:04

KIP ON RADIO: 'Andy! Andy! Time to go!'

0:11:170:11:21

It's OK, Andy, I know exactly where you are.

0:11:240:11:28

Andy, upload!

0:11:370:11:39

Ah!

0:11:460:11:47

-Ah!

-Oh, Andy! You're soaking!

0:11:490:11:53

Sorry, Kip.

0:11:530:11:54

So, did you see your gannets swimming like a school of fish?

0:11:540:11:58

I certainly did, Kip.

0:11:580:12:00

In fact, you could say I had a WHALE of an adventure.

0:12:000:12:03

A WHALE of an adventure! KIP LAUGHS

0:12:030:12:06

Oh, and your super smelling-sweet sensor was sensational!

0:12:060:12:10

Well, in that case, let's head home.

0:12:100:12:13

-MR PICKLES:

-'Andy, are you receiving? Over.'

0:12:410:12:44

Uh-oh, it's Mr Pickles! I forgot about the sea lions!

0:12:440:12:48

-'Are you receiving me?'

-Hello, Mr Pickles.

0:12:480:12:51

Andy here, receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:12:510:12:55

'Where have you been, Andy? Been trying to get hold of you. Over.'

0:12:550:12:59

Um, well, you see, sir, I've just been, er...

0:12:590:13:02

I've just been, um...

0:13:020:13:04

KIP GASPS

0:13:040:13:06

-Fish.

-I've just been getting some fish for the sea lions! Over.

0:13:060:13:10

'Ah, well done, Andy. I knew I could count on you. Pickles, out.'

0:13:100:13:15

-Brilliant! See you next time.

-Fishy! Fishy!

-Huh?

0:13:150:13:18

-I want the fish, Andy.

-No.

-I want the fish.

-No, Kip.

0:13:180:13:22

No, I'll get you some fish-flavoured cat food.

0:13:220:13:25

Andy, Andy, I want the fish! Andy, I want the fish!
