KEN YAWNS

Feathers!

Woo-hoo!

It's a girl, it's a bird...

No, it's Dirtgirl-bird!

It would be so wonderful to be able to fly.

You almost took off then, Dirtgirl.

You just need to believe in yourself.

When it comes to flying,

it takes a bit more than belief!

At the very least you need wings, which I don't have.

I'm not built to fly.

Me either.

Why don't I have feathers?

Feathers would be so...

feathery.

Only birds have feathers

and you, Ken, are not a bird.

You are Ken the weevil.

And I can jump!

And I can wriggle.

Birds can fly,

Ken can jump,

Grubby wriggles and I can...

walk!

I wonder how many ways there are to move.

This is a job for the nature detective!

# La, la, la, la,

DIRTGIRL LAUGHS

Discovery!

Butterflies use their wings to move through the air

and their tiny feet to land!

Dirtgirl's feathers have given me a great idea for today's stunt, Ken.

Great! I like feathers.

Penguins have feathers.

I like penguins.

Do penguins fly?

No, I don't think so...

In this stunt, you get to be a bird-weevil.

-So, a penguin is a bird that doesn't fly?

-Yes.

Now, concentrate, Ken.

For today's bird-weevil stunt,

we are going to need a lot of feathers

and something sticky,

like honey.

To the bees!

Bird-weevil?

Bees?!

Here's an interesting specimen -

the Scrapboy!

Moves by wheels.

Hi, Scrapboy!

Hi, Dirtgirl.

-How's the mission going?

-Great.

I've found out so much.

Did you know that butterflies have feet?

They must be tiny feet.

I'm off to the market to trade some scrap-imals.

Oh, look at this one, he's so cute!

Meet the pop-up puppy.

He used to be a toaster, a milkshake container

and a couple of spoons.

Your scrap animals are fantastic!

Scrap-imals - animals made from scrap!

Do you have anything you'd like me to take to trade?

That would be great, Scrapboy.

I have lots of climbing beans I'd like to trade for some flour.

-No problems, I'll pick them up on my way to town.

-Thanks, Scrapboy.

Ok puppy, pop up into the trike.

BUZZING

It's not just creatures that move,

plants can move too.

Look closely,

VERY closely.

The garden is moving all the time,

can you see it?

Plants need sunlight to grow

and the garden follows the sunlight, as it grows and grows.

Look at the way these climbing beans climb up the tripod.

See how this bit curls around

to help support the bean vine on its way.

It's a tendril

and heaps of plants have tendrils.

All you need to do is give beans something to hook on to

and the tendrils will help them climb upwards to the sunshine.

Beans can climb up frames, fences and stakes.

They like stakes,

but don't eat meat.

These beans climb,

but don't have feet!

Wait for me!

We are going to need a lot of feathers, Ken.

This honey's really sticky.

That's the idea, Ken.

The feathers will stick to the honey.

Where are we gonna get the feathers?

In there, Ken.

CHICKENS SQUAWK

Calling all Greenthumbs.

I challenge you

to make something that flies... that has no feathers!

Oh, perfect landing!

Yippee!

One,

two,

three, take off!

Woo-hoo! Thanks, Greenthumbs.

We need the chickens out of the yard

and we need you in the yard collecting feathers.

Yes...

How are we gonna get the chickens out

without Dirtgirl getting mad at us?

We get Dirtgirl to get them out, by saying the word...

SHE MOUTHS

Hi, Dirtgirl.

Have you got time for a guessing game?

Certainly! I love guessing games.

Great. I'll give you the clues and you guess the animal.

Fire away.

CHICKENS SQUAWK AND BELLS RING

That was too easy.

Oh no!

I said "fire"!

Wait, stop!

No, false alarm,

Come back! Here, chicky-chicky.

Come back!

Come on, Ken!

Get a wriggle on, it's stunt time!

Ladies and gentlemen,

Ken the bird-weevil will launch from the boot tower

and attempt to fly farther than any weevil has ever flown before!

Let's hear it for Ken the bird-weevil

and the amazing flying weevil stunt!

APPLAUSE

Pull the cord, Ken!

THEY COUGH

I think you can jump better than you can fly, Ken.

I agree.

I think if I was a bird, I'd wanna be a penguin.

They don't fly.

I like penguins.

Me too.

Maybe Grubby could make a slippery slide stunt

or penguin-weevil!

Don't even joke about it.

You know Grubby would find some way to freeze the stunt arena.

On second thoughts, I couldn't be a penguin.

I don't like the cold!
