0:00:40 > 0:00:45There it is - our Earth, our world.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48A comfy place, and I'm sure if others were to come here,

0:00:48 > 0:00:52we'd make t a comfy place for them, too.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56And I'm also sure that if we were to venture off into the dark distance

0:00:56 > 0:01:01of outer space, we would find other places just as welcoming as ours.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Oh, look - there's a nest.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07The Iron Chicken's comfy nest.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Let's go and take a look.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11IRON CHICKEN SNORES

0:01:11 > 0:01:13The Iron Chicken's fast asleep.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Ah, who's this?

0:01:17 > 0:01:19A visitor?

0:01:20 > 0:01:24It looks like a bird. A bird made of...tin?

0:01:27 > 0:01:28CLANGING

0:01:35 > 0:01:38IRON CHICKEN EXCLAIMS

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Oh! That's given the Iron Chicken a bit of a surprise.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47She wants to know what's going on.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50But she's scared the tin bird away.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00The tin bird's gone down to the Clangers' planet.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03CLANGING Hmm... She's rather noisy.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09And she's woken Major Clanger up.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Major's not happy. Not happy at all.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17He's off to see what's going on.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30Major's asking the tin bird to stop pecking the metal lid.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32CLANGING

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Oops! She's fallen down the hole...

0:02:45 > 0:02:48..and has slipped into the Clangers' living cave.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55She seems to be looking for something.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Oh, I'm not sure that's a good idea.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16SOUP DRAGON EXCLAIMS

0:03:24 > 0:03:27No, the Soup Dragon's not happy.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31What IS the tin bird doing with the copper leaves?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Oh! The Soup Dragon's frightened her away.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Oh, dear. She's pecking again.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52And Major is telling her off again!

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Oh! Major's frightened her away now.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Yes, Tiny Clanger's right.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Major shouldn't talk to visitors like that.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17He should welcome them and see if they need help.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24Small and Tiny are going off to see if the tin bird is OK.

0:04:27 > 0:04:28CLANGING

0:04:30 > 0:04:32What IS that tin bird up to?

0:04:32 > 0:04:34THEY LAUGH

0:04:34 > 0:04:39She's sitting on the metal lid. That's a funny thing to do!

0:04:39 > 0:04:43Oh, even Tiny and Small laughing has frightened her off.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Yes, it's probably best to leave her be.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52The Soup Dragon is telling Major about the tin bird pulling

0:04:52 > 0:04:54the leaves off the copper trees.

0:04:58 > 0:05:03Tiny and Small think that perhaps the tin bird wants to make a nest.

0:05:03 > 0:05:08That's why she was collecting copper leaves and trying to sit on a lid.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11They want to help her.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13What would make a nice nest?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Small's had an idea.

0:05:22 > 0:05:28Oh! A puffball. Yes, perhaps a puffball will make a good nest.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32But then again, perhaps not.

0:05:32 > 0:05:37She's even frightened by the puffball, poor thing.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42Here comes Mother with some fresh clippings for the sky moos.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Clippings! Maybe clippings will do.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Mother's happy to let Tiny and Small have them.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05There - a nice comfy nest of clippings.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16MOOING

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Oh! The sky moo doesn't like the tin bird sitting on her dinner.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Oh, well. What next?

0:06:28 > 0:06:33Yes, the tin bird is a bit like the Iron Chicken,

0:06:33 > 0:06:37and the Iron Chicken's nest is made out of...

0:06:37 > 0:06:40junk! Yes, junk!

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Ah, they know someone with LOTS of junk.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Major Clanger, of course.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Tiny and Small would like some of Major's spare junk

0:06:59 > 0:07:02to make a nest for the tin bird.

0:07:04 > 0:07:09ANd Major's happy for them to have some. He has more than enough.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11CLATTERING

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Major's wondering where the tin bird is.

0:07:27 > 0:07:32Tiny tells Major the tin bird is hiding because she's scared.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Small says she's scared

0:07:38 > 0:07:41because everyone keeps on frightening her away,

0:07:41 > 0:07:42including Major.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50Major understands. He must have seemed a bit scary to the tin bird,

0:07:50 > 0:07:52and he says he's sorry.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Major's going to help out. He wants to make things right.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Oh, look. He's making a little trail of junk.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Now it's time to go and hide.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Oh! Major's plan is working really well.

0:08:30 > 0:08:36The tin bird is picking up the bits of junk and following the trail...

0:08:36 > 0:08:38all the way to the new nest.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Bingo! It's worked a treat.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47IRON CHICKEN CLUCKS

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Here's the Iron Chicken.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57She's realised that it was the tin bird that she had scared off,

0:08:57 > 0:08:59and she's come to say sorry.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07That's right, Major. No-one should go near a nesting bird.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09The Iron Chicken must stay with them.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14The Iron Chicken wants to know what happens now.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Major says the tin bird is going to lay an egg.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Surely the Iron Chicken knows that!

0:09:24 > 0:09:26IRON CHICKEN LAUGHS

0:09:29 > 0:09:30TIN BIRD SQUAWKS

0:09:35 > 0:09:39There it is! An egg.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Well, will you look at that?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43It's hatching.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48And there's the baby tin bird.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50BABY TIN BIRD CHIRPS

0:09:57 > 0:10:01The baby bird likes pecking, too! Just like its mum.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03THEY LAUGH

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Time to learn how to fly, baby bird.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23There she goes - the tin bird with her new baby.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30How wonderful to have a new baby,

0:10:30 > 0:10:34and how wonderful to have it on such a kind, and welcoming,

0:10:34 > 0:10:38and comfy place as the Clangers' planet.
