0:00:52 > 0:00:55'Mummy, Fudge and I look at lots of different birds.'

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Oh, look at this one.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00'Mummy helps by describing some of them to me.'

0:01:00 > 0:01:03- This one has very big blue eyes. - Just like mine?

0:01:03 > 0:01:07Oh, yeah, just like yours. And very long, pretty eyelashes.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10And he's got, kind of, shiny black feathers

0:01:10 > 0:01:12but, kind of, a big red neck.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Oh, he's giving us a stone or something.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16That's amazing.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Right, shall we go to the next one?

0:01:21 > 0:01:23'We see pelicans next.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26'They're such graceful swimmers.'

0:01:26 > 0:01:30And they scoop up and their beak goes flappy underneath like that.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Wouldn't like to put Fudge in there. - No!

0:01:33 > 0:01:37'I love their white feathers and long beaks.'

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Charlie is a blue and gold macaw,

0:01:41 > 0:01:44which is a kind of parrot found in the Amazon Rainforest.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47'We see a parrot named Charlie.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49'He flies in big circles

0:01:49 > 0:01:50'and then lands back

0:01:50 > 0:01:52'on his handler's arm.'

0:01:52 > 0:01:56APPLAUSE

0:01:56 > 0:01:59- There's one more place I'd like to take you.- Where's that?

0:01:59 > 0:02:01This way.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Nearly there. You're about to get your surprise.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Would you like to see what they are? - Yes, please.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16'I'm so excited!

0:02:19 > 0:02:23'Wow! It's a budgie walkabout.'

0:02:23 > 0:02:26'Budgies are my favourite.'

0:02:27 > 0:02:30I can hear them singing all around my head.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- This is the best surprise ever. - Aw, I'm glad you like it.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43There's lots of budgies up in the tree here.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46We've got some yellow, some blue and some green.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50But they all used to be blue when they were in the wild.

0:02:50 > 0:02:51'Budgies are so colourful!'

0:02:53 > 0:02:58- So what did you think of the birds, then, Melody?- They were amazing.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Mummy, do you know any bird music?

0:03:00 > 0:03:04I do have a piece, actually, I think you're going to like.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07It's all about a bird who's not only colourful,

0:03:07 > 0:03:09but magical as well.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13A magical bird? That sounds amazing.
