0:00:55 > 0:00:58- # Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. # - I'll tell you why...
0:01:08 > 0:01:13But you see, they've was a time when no beast ruled the skies
0:01:13 > 0:01:17and it was becoming a bit of a problem.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- My eggs!- Huh?- My eggs! - What is it?- Hmm.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21My eggs!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Just calm down. What did they look like?
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- My eggs!- Huh! Hen's nest, and it's empty.- My eggs!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33You can see all that way? That's amazing.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35SHE LAUGHS
0:01:35 > 0:01:38They don't call me eagle eyes for nothing!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Come on!- Wait for me!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43My eggs!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- My eggs! - Eggs have gone.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Calm down everyone.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Hen, where did you last see your eggs?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54In my nest, where I laid them.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- They're not there. - What am I going to do?
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Don't worry, we'll find your eggs as soon as it's light.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- I'll find your eggs. - Oh, I do hope so, Eagle. Thank you.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Now, everyone, to sleep. Birds, lullaby, please.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17A-one, and a-two, and a-three and a-four.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- # Sleep - La la la la-la la
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- # Sleep - La la la la-la la
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Hng! Hem! Oh!
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Eagle! I've lost my hum.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36You poor bird, try again.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Hnnnng!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43What is happening? Why is humming bird not humming?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Tell Lion I've lost my hum.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Humming Bird has lost her hum!
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Lost her hum? But that's what Humming Bird does. It's nature's way.
0:02:54 > 0:03:01- Oh dear. Oh deary me.- Don't worry Humming Bird, I'll find your hum.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05And Hen's eggs. Now, where can they be?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Something else has gone missing. - What is it?- Tick bird!
0:03:12 > 0:03:18I was with her and I went for a swim and when I surfaced she was gone!
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- ALL:- Oh no! - Have you looked for her?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24All day long, but I can't find her.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27She's so tiny, she could be anywhere!
0:03:27 > 0:03:33- Calm down everyone. We will find Tick Bird, don't worry.- Sorry about that.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Oh, these birds! It's impossible to watch over them all.
0:03:38 > 0:03:44It's the wings. Very hard to watch over them when they fly everywhere.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49First Hen loses her eggs, then humming bird loses her hum
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and now Tick Bird, what can I do?
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- Hmm, may I make a suggestion, Your Majesty.- Please do, Tortoise.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59HE WHISPERS
0:03:59 > 0:04:01What a very good idea!
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Animals!- Yes, Your Majesty.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10We have a bird crisis in Tinga Tinga and here is what I propose.
0:04:10 > 0:04:16I challenge any animal, bird or beast, to find Hen's eggs,
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Humming Bird's hum, and to find little Tick Bird.
0:04:21 > 0:04:27The first animal to find all three will be given half of my kingdom.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29THEY ALL GASP
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Did I hear right? - Half of the kingdom?- Ha ha!
0:04:33 > 0:04:39- Lion, you cannot be serious!- Oh, but I am. Half my kingdom, do you hear?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Goodness!- Let the challenge begin.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Let's go, find those three things!
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Night animals, let's get a head start and start searching.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- Let's search! Be quick! - Right, come on, off we go.
0:04:58 > 0:05:05Where can Hen's eggs be? And that poor little Tick Bird? Hmmm.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I can't see them anywhere. Aha!
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Honey! Maybe I will be able to find Humming Bird's hum.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Queen Bee.- Jambo, Eagle.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29- What brings you here so late? - I'm sorry to disturb you
0:05:29 > 0:05:33in the middle of the night, but poor Humming Bird has lost her hum.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36But I don't know where it is.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I know. I was wondering if the bees would be kind enough
0:05:40 > 0:05:43to give her a drop of sweet honey.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48- It may bring back her beautiful hum. - What a clever idea!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52But I'm afraid all the bees are fast asleep now.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Tomorrow will be just fine. - We'd be delighted.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02- Oh, don't tell the other animals that I asked.- Of course, dear.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Now for Tick Bird and Hen's eggs.
0:06:06 > 0:06:12Where can they be? Where can they be? Hmmm.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Of course! Crocodile.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Aha! There's that naughty beast.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36There he is, fast asleep. And Hen's eggs! I thought so.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- Hey! Those are my eggs! Snap! - No, they're not, they're Hen's.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Finders keepers.- Losers weepers!
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- Nothing in the trees. - Nothing in the plains, Your Majesty.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- Nothing underground.- Elephant?- No. - Tortoise?- Uh-uh. Nothing I'm afraid.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08It was crocodile, Your Majesty. He stole Hen's eggs.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12He was near Mount Tinga Tinga hiding behind a rock.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- Thank you, Eagle.- Always a pleasure to help another bird.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23- No news of Tick Bird?- Nothing in the trees.- Nothing on the ground.
0:07:23 > 0:07:29- I looked all over Tinga Tinga. - Oh, but what about the skies?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I haven't checked the skies!
0:07:37 > 0:07:43Tick Bird must be lost in the clouds. Now, where is she?
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- I can't see her. Where's eagle gone? - Into the clouds, elephant.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Remarkable bird.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Tick Bird! Tick Bird!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Now where is she?
0:07:57 > 0:08:03Oh! Tick Bird! Oh!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Tick Bird!
0:08:06 > 0:08:12Thank goodness you are here. I've been lost in this cloud for ages.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Don't worry, Tick Bird. I'm here to get you.- Oh!
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- Oh! Welcome home, Tick Bird. - Thank you, Hippo.
0:08:21 > 0:08:28Eagle, most impressive. Now, who can find and return Humming Bird's hum?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'd be ever so grateful.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Um...- Oh...- Erm...
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Your Majesty, may we give Humming Bird some of our sweet honey?
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- It might help Humming Bird find her hum.- By all means, Queen.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Aaaah!
0:08:48 > 0:08:53- Very good for the voice, Sweetie. - So sweet and smooth.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Oh, but can you hum?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57SHE HUMS
0:09:00 > 0:09:02THEY ALL GIGGLE
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Bees found Humming Bird's hum.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07That's brilliant!
0:09:07 > 0:09:13Your Majesty, it was our honey, but it was Eagle's idea.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19- Really?- Yes, she didn't want anyone to know.- Thank you, Queen. Asante.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23SHE HUMS
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Animals!
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I said I would give half my kingdom to the animal who
0:09:28 > 0:09:34succeeded in finding three things - Hen's eggs, little Tick Bird
0:09:34 > 0:09:37and Humming Bird's hum.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I am delighted to tell you we have a winner!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- ALL:- Oh! - Monkeys, drum roll please.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- HE LAUGHS - Here we go!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50And the winner is Eagle!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52THEY LAUGH AND CHEER
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Me! I couldn't possibly accept.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Your eagle eyes found Mama Hen's eggs.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Your great wings found Tick Bird up in the clouds
0:10:03 > 0:10:08and your great kindness and wisdom found Humming Bird's hum.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- The sign of a true leader.- Oh, my!
0:10:12 > 0:10:16From this day on, Eagle, you shall be ruler of the skies.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20With honour, Your Majesty. With honour.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23THEY ALL CHEER
0:10:23 > 0:10:25And that is why Eagle rules the skies.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30From that day on, Lion ruled over the land animals
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and Eagle watched over the birds.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Ha ha! What a wonderful and happy day.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Time for the lullaby, Your Majesty?- Indeed, indeed.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Birds...
0:10:41 > 0:10:44# Oh oh oh-oh...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46And now Humming Bird.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50SHE HUMS
0:10:50 > 0:10:56And Humming Bird humming? Well, that's a whole other story.
