David obliges with a bigger bag, but Big Bird has just remembered he's having an engagement party for a sparrow friend of his with 200 guests coming, so he needs the biggest bag they've got. David carts out the biggest bag of bird seed, but Big Bird has one final request: place the bird seed in individual bags so he can hand them out to each of his friends.
