0:00:34 > 0:00:38Hi, I'm Andy, and I work here at Pickles' Animal Park.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40It's my job to look after the animals.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43We've got lots of different birds.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47Small birds, big birds and huge birds.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49These are ostriches.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52The ostrich is the largest bird in the world.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Imagine how big their eggs are.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Before the girl bird lays the eggs,

0:00:57 > 0:00:59she needs a boy bird to be the daddy.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02That's where Oscar comes in.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Boy birds do a special dance to impress the females.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08'Come in, Andy. Andy, come in. Over.'

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Oh! That's Mr Pickles, the boss.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15Hello, sir. Andy here. Receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18'I was passing the reindeer enclosure

0:01:18 > 0:01:21'and I noticed they seem a little low on moss.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- 'Could you bring some over? Over.' - Not a problem, sir.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30I'll pop back to the workshop, get some moss and bring it over. Over.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32'Thanks, Andy. Pickles out.'

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Back to the workshop for me. Good luck, Oscar.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Don't panic. I'm a dream dancer.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Ah! Hi, Kip.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Oh. Hello, Andy.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Oh, no! Is the gizmo not working?

0:01:56 > 0:02:00No, Andy. Nothing's wrong with your gizmo.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03I've invented a new programme for it.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06It's my Completely Cool Colour Controller.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Sounds amazing. What does it do?

0:02:09 > 0:02:11You know how some animals change colour

0:02:11 > 0:02:14to blend into the world around them?

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Yes. They camouflage.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20Camouflage, yes. I thought you might like to do the same sometimes,

0:02:20 > 0:02:25to keep a close eye on some of the more dangerous animals in the park.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29What, like the lions?

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Without them even seeing you!

0:02:32 > 0:02:35What a great idea! How does it work?

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Oh. It's simple, really.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41You just turn the gizmo towards you and say the name of a colour.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Um, what's your favourite colour? - Yellow.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Hm-hm-hm. Yellow!

0:02:48 > 0:02:50KIP CHUCKLES

0:02:50 > 0:02:52It's worked! You're yellow!

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Brilliant! I can't wait to try it on our wild adventures.

0:02:56 > 0:03:01- Could you put the gizmo back for me, please?- Of course I can.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04So, what have you been up to?

0:03:04 > 0:03:07I've been to the ostrich enclosure to see Oscar.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10You should've seen him dancing.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12He flapped his wings like this,

0:03:12 > 0:03:16and then moved his head from side to side, like this.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Why would anyone do that?!

0:03:18 > 0:03:23In the bird world, the boys try to catch the attention of the girls.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26And they do it by impressing them.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- They dance like that? - They do lots of things.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Some birds, like the ostrich, do amazing dances.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36There's a bird called the vogelkop bowerbird.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38The vogelly-doobely-blue-bom-bom?

0:03:38 > 0:03:42- The vogelkop bowerbird. - Oh. You should've said.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45He builds this amazing shelter

0:03:45 > 0:03:49and then he decorates it using all the beautiful things

0:03:49 > 0:03:51he finds around the forest.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55A bird that gets a girlfriend by being a great decorator?

0:03:55 > 0:03:57I'd love to see that!

0:03:57 > 0:03:59You know what this sounds like, Kip?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02BOTH: Time to go on a wild adventure!

0:04:02 > 0:04:04We get to see bowerbirds decorating!

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- And test my Completely Cool Colour Controller!- Let's do it!

0:04:09 > 0:04:13- One - gadget pack.- Check!

0:04:13 > 0:04:18- Two - gizmo with my Completely Cool Colour Controller.- Check!

0:04:18 > 0:04:24And last, but not least, the Kipmobile!

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Seatbelts on.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Hit it, Kip.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Liftoff!

0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! - Whoo-hoo-hoo! We're in space!

0:05:15 > 0:05:17So, where to, Andy?

0:05:17 > 0:05:21The second largest island in the world. The island of New Guinea,

0:05:21 > 0:05:26where we'll find our bowerbird right in the middle of the rainforest.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31Then New Guinea, here we come. Right, cat nav, go!

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Going down!- Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Wow! It sure is cloudy down there!

0:05:41 > 0:05:46That's because it's a rainforest. When there's rain, there's clouds.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Oh, hang on, it looks like we're coming out of it.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54Oh, wow! Look at this! This is amazing!

0:05:54 > 0:05:59- And look at those jagged peaks! They look really sharp!- Yeah.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Don't worry, I'm sure there's somewhere safe to land.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Now, this is the perfect place to land, Kip.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yeah, it certainly is. What a beach!

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Come on, let's go and find some bowerbirds.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Who knows what else we might find!

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- New Guinea is home to all sorts of incredible birds.- Oh, great!

0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Just what I need. Loads of birds! - What was that?

0:06:30 > 0:06:35Oh. As much as I'd love to join you in the hot, sticky rainforest,

0:06:35 > 0:06:39I think I might just stay here and, er, and, er, enjoy the view.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43It's not every day we land on a beach as beautiful as this.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46I suppose not. All right, if you're sure.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Oh, I'm sure all right! Oh, but Andy?

0:06:50 > 0:06:51- Yeah?- Be careful.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55I always am, Kip. I'll see you later.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56KIP CHUCKLES

0:07:10 > 0:07:15I haven't found any bowerbirds, but look what I have found!

0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's a bird of paradise.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20And this one is a six-plumed bird of paradise.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Oh, I've got to show Kip!

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Remember I told you about the different ways

0:07:26 > 0:07:29the male birds attract the attention of female birds?

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Well, take a look at this guy.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42He sure has got some moves, Andy!

0:07:42 > 0:07:45He looks like he's in a dance competition.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48MUSIC PLAYS

0:07:55 > 0:07:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Ten.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04He's almost as good as me, Kip. Watch this.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06MUSIC PLAYS

0:08:11 > 0:08:14- What do you think?- Three.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Oh. Thanks, Kip.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19I've got to go. I want to see a bowerbird decorating its nest.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23I'll see you later. See you, buddy. Good luck.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'll have a better chance of finding a bowerbird

0:08:29 > 0:08:34if I shrink down to its size and fly through the rainforest. Here goes.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Size of a bowerbird.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53Perfect! Now, activate rocket pack.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Right, here I go!

0:09:03 > 0:09:09I've spotted something that will help us find bowerbirds. Let's go!

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Ah, look at this! This is what's called a bower.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21It's a colourful shelter built by male birds to attract female birds.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26There he is! The bowerbird's back.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Oh, hang on. I don't want to scare him.

0:09:29 > 0:09:34Um...I know, I'll hide in the moss so he doesn't see me.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Come on in.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Ah! That's better! Ha-ha!

0:09:48 > 0:09:52The bowerbird won't be able to see me. I'm hidden in all this moss.

0:09:52 > 0:09:58Oh, hang on a minute. The bowerbird can still see my hands and face.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01I need to camouflage myself, really.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05I know! Kip's Completely Cool Colour Controller!

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Er...brown, like this moss.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13Hey, it's working! Kip's a genius!

0:10:13 > 0:10:18And just in time, too. The male bowerbird has decorated the bower

0:10:18 > 0:10:22with all the things he thinks the female bird will like.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25We've got colourful flowers here, berries there,

0:10:25 > 0:10:28and bright ones down there.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Even these bugs are trying to help the bowerbird.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34They don't stop wriggling, though.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38There we go. All done. Pretty good job.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Oh, hang on a minute.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Look, it's the female!

0:10:43 > 0:10:45I hope she likes it. Good luck, buddy!

0:10:49 > 0:10:50Oh, no!

0:10:50 > 0:10:55All that hard work and look, she's just flown away.

0:10:55 > 0:11:00She obviously doesn't like red berries and orange flowers

0:11:00 > 0:11:04and pink flowers and green beetles.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Ooh! Huh!

0:11:06 > 0:11:10As I was saying the colours, I was changing colour!

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Look! The female's come back!

0:11:13 > 0:11:17She must have been attracted to the colours.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21Oh, look! The bowerbird has got a girlfriend!

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Oh, I love a good happy ending!

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Right, time for me to go.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30I'll just change back to my normal colour.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Ooo! Oh, no! Look, I'm stuck!

0:11:34 > 0:11:38Oh! How am I going to get out?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I know. Kip?

0:11:43 > 0:11:45MUSIC PLAYS

0:11:47 > 0:11:49KIP HUMS A TUNE

0:11:50 > 0:11:53'Kip? Can you come and get me, please?'

0:11:55 > 0:11:57'Kip? I'm stuck in the moss!'

0:11:57 > 0:11:59I was enjoying that!

0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Kip?!- Oh, all right, I'm coming!

0:12:02 > 0:12:05See you later, bowerbirds! I mean, lovebirds!

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Andy upload!

0:12:13 > 0:12:17- Oh! Ha-ha! Nice landing, Andy. - Ah, thanks, Kip.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20The Completely Cool Colour Controller worked well?

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Yeah. It helped the bowerbird get a girlfriend.

0:12:24 > 0:12:29At one point, I was almost every colour of the rainbow.

0:12:29 > 0:12:34Ah. Um, well, um, in that case, let's head home.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Good idea.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10Kip? How come you've got a number on your back?

0:13:10 > 0:13:13'Andy, are you receiving? Over.'

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Uh-oh, that'll be the boss. - 'Andy, are you receiving?'

0:13:17 > 0:13:21Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here. Receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26'I wondered if you'd had any luck getting moss for the reindeer.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30'They're probably getting a little hungry. Over.'

0:13:30 > 0:13:34No problems, I'm all over it. Actually, it's all over me!

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Over.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39'Good man, Andy. Pickles out.'

0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Well done, Andy.- Thanks, Kip.

0:13:41 > 0:13:46- I'd better go and feed the reindeer. See you next time.- Bye!
