0:01:23 > 0:01:24But you see, there was a time
0:01:24 > 0:01:26when Hummingbird didn't hum.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29She was called Songbird.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30And she sung,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32just like all the other birds.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35BIRD CONTINUES TO MAKE A DIN
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Well, not exactly like all the other birds.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41- DISCORDANT:- # Midday, midday
0:03:41 > 0:03:42# Too hot too think... #
0:03:42 > 0:03:46That's when we knew that something had to be done.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50- She's awful.- She's ghastly.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Oh, I'm afraid, Eagle,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54that Songbird's singing
0:03:54 > 0:03:56has become...a bit of a problem.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59She, er, well... She...
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Sounds like a squashed parrot?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02LAUGHTER
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I couldn't have put it better myself.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07We just don't know what to do.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10You see, Songbird just loves her singing.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14But the entire animal kingdom doesn't.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Peacock.- Your Majesty,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18may I make a suggestion?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Please do, Tortoise.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Perhaps we could all help Songbird
0:04:23 > 0:04:24improve her singing.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Ooh, I could teach
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Songbird to gargle.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29GLUG, GLUG, GLUG!
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Very good, Hippo.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Oh, honey is good for a voice, too.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Makes it sweet.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Maybe the bees can help?
0:04:36 > 0:04:37I'll ask them.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40We crickets will improve Songbird's rhythm
0:04:40 > 0:04:42and Songbird's beat.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Excellent, everyone!
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Soon we will have Songbird singing
0:04:46 > 0:04:50like a...like a...Songbird! He-he!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Eagle, you must oversee the progress
0:04:52 > 0:04:53of your little bird.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55It's my duty.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Twentalay, twentalay.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Carry on, carry on.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01GLUG, GLUG, GLUG!
0:05:01 > 0:05:07Songbird, Hippo has offered to teach you to gargle.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09It's very good for the voice.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11My voice is how I spread joy.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- SPITS - Have a go.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Try this.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20GARGLES
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Now you are all warmed up.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Please, sing.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- DISCORDANT:- # Mayday, mayday
0:05:29 > 0:05:30# Too hot to think
0:05:30 > 0:05:33# Leave your work, leave the heat
0:05:33 > 0:05:35# Come and have a drink. #
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Yes, I do believe my voice is even better.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Thank you, Hippo.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43TUTS
0:05:46 > 0:05:51Just one drop of honey can make your voice sound sweet, Songbird.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Even sweeter than it is already.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- DISCORDANT:- # Mayday, mayday
0:06:01 > 0:06:04# Too hot to think
0:06:04 > 0:06:08# Stop your work and come leave the heat. #
0:06:08 > 0:06:10My voice does sound sweeter.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Thank you, Bees.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16TUTS
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- DISCORDANT:- # Mayday, mayday... #
0:06:19 > 0:06:24No, no, no. And one and two...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- DISCORDANT:- # Mayday, mayday...#
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh, my!
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Oh, lovely, everyone gathered for a sing-song.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I wonder what it will be?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43But it can't all be bad news?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I'm afraid it is.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47There we are.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Songbird will never be able to sing.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54(Never sing. That's me!)
0:06:54 > 0:06:56We can't get to sleep when she sings.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I don't want to wake up if she is singing.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Oh, no!
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Somebody has to tell Songbird, "No more singing."
0:07:07 > 0:07:09ALL: No more singing.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Songbird, we were just, erm....
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It's all right, everyone.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22I heard what you said and I won't sing any more.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- SOBS:- I am so very sorry that my singing upset you all.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32And I... Oh dear! Oh, dear, dear, dear.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36We have taken away the one thing that Songbird loves
0:07:36 > 0:07:40more than anything in the world, her song.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- If only she could sing without... - Opening her beak.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51I think I have an idea that will please everyone, including Songbird.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Elephant, let's go and find her.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56All right, Tortoise, let's go.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Oh, dear!
0:07:58 > 0:08:03SONGBIRD SOBS
0:08:05 > 0:08:07There you are, Songbird.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Songbird, we have come to tell you something.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I know, no more singing.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Now, wait, Songbird. You did not let us finish.
0:08:16 > 0:08:23What we were trying to say was no more singing with your mouth open.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Really?- Really?- Yes, Elephant.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29You remember what we were saying earlier?
0:08:29 > 0:08:34TOGETHER: No more singing with your mouth open.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37That was it. Big head, see?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Tiny brain, ha-ha.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44You see, Songbird, we all think your singing
0:08:44 > 0:08:49would sound even more wonderful if only you'd sing with your beak shut.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51With my beak shut?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54You know, sort of like a hum. HUMS
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Hm. Well, I never thought of that before.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03But I'm always keen to try something new for my music.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06So you'll try it tonight at the lullaby?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Humming. Try humming us to sleep.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Absolutely!
0:09:12 > 0:09:16No singing, just humming.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Just humming.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Here she is.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Block your ears, everyone.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Over to you, Songbird.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Remember, don't open your beak.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34CLEARS THROAT
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Ooh!
0:09:36 > 0:09:42ALL: # Rest your head and close your eyes. #
0:09:42 > 0:09:48HUMS BEAUTIFULLY
0:09:50 > 0:09:52That's beautiful.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Pretty, isn't it?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Now, that's a lullaby.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09OTHERS: # Rest your head and close your eyes
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Excellent, Songbird, excellent.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17Your Majesty, would you mind calling me Hummingbird from now on?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Hummingbird. - HUMS SWEETLY
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Suits you perfectly.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29And that is why a hummingbird hums.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33From that day on, she closed her beak and she hummed,
0:10:33 > 0:10:38always humming Tinga Tinga into a deep, deep sleep.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Ahh! My hum is how I spread my joy.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Now that IS humming.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55And the crickets' chirruping?
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Well, that's a whole other story.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- # Beneath a Tinga sky- Woo!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06# Tinga Tinga Tinga Tinga-ah. #
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Tales from Africa!
