0:00:270:00:34

Hi, I'm Andy, and I work here at Pickles' Animal Park.

0:00:340:00:38

It's my job to look after the animals.

0:00:380:00:40

We've got lots of different birds.

0:00:400:00:43

Small birds, big birds and huge birds.

0:00:430:00:47

These are ostriches.

0:00:470:00:49

The ostrich is the largest bird in the world.

0:00:490:00:52

Imagine how big their eggs are.

0:00:520:00:54

Before the girl bird lays the eggs,

0:00:540:00:57

she needs a boy bird to be the daddy.

0:00:570:00:59

That's where Oscar comes in.

0:00:590:01:02

Boy birds do a special dance to impress the females.

0:01:020:01:05

'Come in, Andy. Andy, come in. Over.'

0:01:050:01:08

Oh! That's Mr Pickles, the boss.

0:01:080:01:11

Hello, sir. Andy here. Receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:01:110:01:15

'I was passing the reindeer enclosure

0:01:150:01:18

'and I noticed they seem a little low on moss.

0:01:180:01:21

-'Could you bring some over? Over.'

-Not a problem, sir.

0:01:210:01:25

I'll pop back to the workshop, get some moss and bring it over. Over.

0:01:250:01:30

'Thanks, Andy. Pickles out.'

0:01:300:01:32

Back to the workshop for me. Good luck, Oscar.

0:01:320:01:36

Don't panic. I'm a dream dancer.

0:01:360:01:38

Ah! Hi, Kip.

0:01:480:01:51

Oh. Hello, Andy.

0:01:510:01:54

Oh, no! Is the gizmo not working?

0:01:540:01:56

No, Andy. Nothing's wrong with your gizmo.

0:01:560:02:00

I've invented a new programme for it.

0:02:000:02:03

It's my Completely Cool Colour Controller.

0:02:030:02:06

Sounds amazing. What does it do?

0:02:060:02:09

You know how some animals change colour

0:02:090:02:11

to blend into the world around them?

0:02:110:02:14

Yes. They camouflage.

0:02:140:02:16

Camouflage, yes. I thought you might like to do the same sometimes,

0:02:160:02:20

to keep a close eye on some of the more dangerous animals in the park.

0:02:200:02:25

What, like the lions?

0:02:250:02:29

Without them even seeing you!

0:02:290:02:32

What a great idea! How does it work?

0:02:320:02:35

Oh. It's simple, really.

0:02:350:02:37

You just turn the gizmo towards you and say the name of a colour.

0:02:370:02:41

-Um, what's your favourite colour?

-Yellow.

0:02:410:02:44

Hm-hm-hm. Yellow!

0:02:440:02:48

KIP CHUCKLES

0:02:480:02:50

It's worked! You're yellow!

0:02:500:02:52

Brilliant! I can't wait to try it on our wild adventures.

0:02:520:02:56

-Could you put the gizmo back for me, please?

-Of course I can.

0:02:560:03:01

So, what have you been up to?

0:03:010:03:04

I've been to the ostrich enclosure to see Oscar.

0:03:040:03:07

You should've seen him dancing.

0:03:070:03:10

He flapped his wings like this,

0:03:100:03:12

and then moved his head from side to side, like this.

0:03:120:03:16

Why would anyone do that?!

0:03:160:03:18

In the bird world, the boys try to catch the attention of the girls.

0:03:180:03:23

And they do it by impressing them.

0:03:230:03:26

-They dance like that?

-They do lots of things.

0:03:260:03:29

Some birds, like the ostrich, do amazing dances.

0:03:290:03:32

There's a bird called the vogelkop bowerbird.

0:03:320:03:36

The vogelly-doobely-blue-bom-bom?

0:03:360:03:38

-The vogelkop bowerbird.

-Oh. You should've said.

0:03:380:03:42

He builds this amazing shelter

0:03:420:03:45

and then he decorates it using all the beautiful things

0:03:450:03:49

he finds around the forest.

0:03:490:03:51

A bird that gets a girlfriend by being a great decorator?

0:03:510:03:55

I'd love to see that!

0:03:550:03:57

You know what this sounds like, Kip?

0:03:570:03:59

BOTH: Time to go on a wild adventure!

0:03:590:04:02

We get to see bowerbirds decorating!

0:04:020:04:04

-And test my Completely Cool Colour Controller!

-Let's do it!

0:04:040:04:08

-One - gadget pack.

-Check!

0:04:090:04:13

-Two - gizmo with my Completely Cool Colour Controller.

-Check!

0:04:130:04:18

And last, but not least, the Kipmobile!

0:04:180:04:24

Seatbelts on.

0:04:240:04:26

Hit it, Kip.

0:04:270:04:29

Liftoff!

0:05:030:05:05

-Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

-Whoo-hoo-hoo! We're in space!

0:05:110:05:15

So, where to, Andy?

0:05:150:05:17

The second largest island in the world. The island of New Guinea,

0:05:170:05:21

where we'll find our bowerbird right in the middle of the rainforest.

0:05:210:05:26

Then New Guinea, here we come. Right, cat nav, go!

0:05:260:05:31

-Going down!

-Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!

0:05:310:05:34

Wow! It sure is cloudy down there!

0:05:380:05:41

That's because it's a rainforest. When there's rain, there's clouds.

0:05:410:05:46

Oh, hang on, it looks like we're coming out of it.

0:05:460:05:50

Oh, wow! Look at this! This is amazing!

0:05:500:05:54

-And look at those jagged peaks! They look really sharp!

-Yeah.

0:05:540:05:59

Don't worry, I'm sure there's somewhere safe to land.

0:05:590:06:03

Now, this is the perfect place to land, Kip.

0:06:100:06:14

Yeah, it certainly is. What a beach!

0:06:140:06:16

Come on, let's go and find some bowerbirds.

0:06:160:06:20

Who knows what else we might find!

0:06:200:06:22

-New Guinea is home to all sorts of incredible birds.

-Oh, great!

0:06:220:06:26

-Just what I need. Loads of birds!

-What was that?

0:06:260:06:30

Oh. As much as I'd love to join you in the hot, sticky rainforest,

0:06:300:06:35

I think I might just stay here and, er, and, er, enjoy the view.

0:06:350:06:39

It's not every day we land on a beach as beautiful as this.

0:06:390:06:43

I suppose not. All right, if you're sure.

0:06:430:06:46

Oh, I'm sure all right! Oh, but Andy?

0:06:460:06:50

-Yeah?

-Be careful.

0:06:500:06:51

I always am, Kip. I'll see you later.

0:06:510:06:55

KIP CHUCKLES

0:06:550:06:56

I haven't found any bowerbirds, but look what I have found!

0:07:100:07:15

It's a bird of paradise.

0:07:150:07:17

And this one is a six-plumed bird of paradise.

0:07:170:07:20

Oh, I've got to show Kip!

0:07:200:07:23

Remember I told you about the different ways

0:07:230:07:26

the male birds attract the attention of female birds?

0:07:260:07:29

Well, take a look at this guy.

0:07:290:07:33

He sure has got some moves, Andy!

0:07:390:07:42

He looks like he's in a dance competition.

He's almost as good as me, Kip. Watch this.

-What do you think?

-Three.

0:08:110:08:14

Oh. Thanks, Kip.

0:08:140:08:16

I've got to go. I want to see a bowerbird decorating its nest.

0:08:160:08:19

I'll see you later. See you, buddy. Good luck.

0:08:190:08:23

I'll have a better chance of finding a bowerbird

0:08:260:08:29

if I shrink down to its size and fly through the rainforest. Here goes.

0:08:290:08:34

Size of a bowerbird.

0:08:340:08:37

Perfect! Now, activate rocket pack.

0:08:490:08:53

Right, here I go!

0:08:580:09:00

I've spotted something that will help us find bowerbirds. Let's go!

0:09:030:09:09

Ah, look at this! This is what's called a bower.

0:09:130:09:17

It's a colourful shelter built by male birds to attract female birds.

0:09:170:09:21

There he is! The bowerbird's back.

0:09:210:09:26

Oh, hang on. I don't want to scare him.

0:09:260:09:29

Um...I know, I'll hide in the moss so he doesn't see me.

0:09:290:09:34

Come on in.

0:09:340:09:36

Ah! That's better! Ha-ha!

0:09:460:09:48

The bowerbird won't be able to see me. I'm hidden in all this moss.

0:09:480:09:52

Oh, hang on a minute. The bowerbird can still see my hands and face.

0:09:520:09:58

I need to camouflage myself, really.

0:09:580:10:01

I know! Kip's Completely Cool Colour Controller!

0:10:010:10:05

Er...brown, like this moss.

0:10:050:10:07

Hey, it's working! Kip's a genius!

0:10:090:10:13

And just in time, too. The male bowerbird has decorated the bower

0:10:130:10:18

with all the things he thinks the female bird will like.

0:10:180:10:22

We've got colourful flowers here, berries there,

0:10:220:10:25

and bright ones down there.

0:10:250:10:28

Even these bugs are trying to help the bowerbird.

0:10:280:10:31

They don't stop wriggling, though.

0:10:310:10:34

There we go. All done. Pretty good job.

0:10:340:10:38

Oh, hang on a minute.

0:10:380:10:40

Look, it's the female!

0:10:400:10:43

I hope she likes it. Good luck, buddy!

0:10:430:10:45

Oh, no!

0:10:490:10:50

All that hard work and look, she's just flown away.

0:10:500:10:55

She obviously doesn't like red berries and orange flowers

0:10:550:11:00

and pink flowers and green beetles.

0:11:000:11:04

Ooh! Huh!

0:11:040:11:06

As I was saying the colours, I was changing colour!

0:11:060:11:10

Look! The female's come back!

0:11:100:11:13

She must have been attracted to the colours.

0:11:130:11:17

Oh, look! The bowerbird has got a girlfriend!

0:11:170:11:21

Oh, I love a good happy ending!

0:11:210:11:24

Right, time for me to go.

0:11:240:11:26

I'll just change back to my normal colour.

0:11:260:11:30

Ooo! Oh, no! Look, I'm stuck!

0:11:300:11:34

Oh! How am I going to get out?

0:11:340:11:38

I know. Kip?

KIP HUMS A TUNE

0:11:470:11:49

'Kip? Can you come and get me, please?'

0:11:500:11:53

'Kip? I'm stuck in the moss!'

0:11:550:11:57

I was enjoying that!

0:11:570:11:59

-Kip?!

-Oh, all right, I'm coming!

0:11:590:12:02

See you later, bowerbirds! I mean, lovebirds!

0:12:020:12:05

Andy upload!

0:12:050:12:08

-Oh! Ha-ha! Nice landing, Andy.

-Ah, thanks, Kip.

0:12:130:12:17

The Completely Cool Colour Controller worked well?

0:12:170:12:20

Yeah. It helped the bowerbird get a girlfriend.

0:12:200:12:24

At one point, I was almost every colour of the rainbow.

0:12:240:12:29

Ah. Um, well, um, in that case, let's head home.

0:12:290:12:34

Good idea.

0:12:340:12:36

Kip? How come you've got a number on your back?

0:13:060:13:10

'Andy, are you receiving? Over.'

0:13:100:13:13

-Uh-oh, that'll be the boss.

-'Andy, are you receiving?'

0:13:130:13:17

Hello, Mr Pickles. Andy here. Receiving loud and clear. Over.

0:13:170:13:21

'I wondered if you'd had any luck getting moss for the reindeer.

0:13:210:13:26

'They're probably getting a little hungry. Over.'

0:13:260:13:30

No problems, I'm all over it. Actually, it's all over me!

0:13:300:13:34

Over.

0:13:340:13:36

'Good man, Andy. Pickles out.'

0:13:360:13:39

-Well done, Andy.

-Thanks, Kip.

0:13:390:13:41

-I'd better go and feed the reindeer. See you next time.

-Bye!
