SCENE 1 Mr. Hooper and Maria assume Big Bird is sick since he didn’t come with Maria to the library and had ordered some food from Hooper's Store to be delivered. When they get to his nest, Big Bird reveals why he couldn't go anywhere: he's watching an egg for his cousin Tondalea as she flies South for a while. He has it kept under a blanket to stay warm, but soon the egg hatches and Big Bird realizes he’ll have to temporarily be a mommy/daddy bird to the baby bird.

SCENE 2 Luis and a couple of kids visit Big Bird while he tries to teach the chick some "bird talk," which isn’t easy because Big Bird says “Chirp, chirp, chirp!” and the baby prefers to say “cheep” over and over. He then tries to feed her some birdseed, but the baby bird only winds up making a mess. Big Bird is losing his patience, but Luis suggests that the bird is sleepy since she gives a big yawn. They cover her up in the blanket, but the baby bird wakes up and makes more noise when Big Bird and the others begin to leave.
