Bird’s the Word contains the following eight entertaining episodes:

Fly Muffin
Muffin really wants to learn to fly.  Samuel tries to teach her the right way to flap, Rudy suggests she fly on a kite and Missy suggests she try swinging off a trapeze to fly.  But nothing works!  After getting some encouragement from Mr. Beakman to keep trying, Samuel invents a kite-apeze!  Part kite, part trapeze and perfect for Muffin to fly on!

Bird Theatre
Rudy and Samuel are rehearsing for Mr. Beakman’s play, “The Prize Potato.”  Muffin wants to be in the play, too, but there’s no part for her--that is, until the play’s props get blown away!  Muffin steps in and becomes the star of the show, playing the props:  a hat, a potato and a watering can.

The Muffin Express
Mr. Beakman is building a train set, The Sunset Express.  Samuel, Rudy and Muffin offer to help him finish the tracks but Muffin’s tracks are a disaster.  Quinn helps the kids fix the tracks just in time for sunset.  But when Mr. Beakman returns, they realize no one fits in the driver’s seat!  Just when it looks like the Sunset Express will have to be cancelled, they find the perfect bird to drive the train:  Muffin!

A Chorus for Us
Samuel, Muffin and Rudy each make up a silly song.  Mrs. Billingsley invites them to perform one song after the adult bird chorus’ concert.  When the kids can’t agree on whose song to sing, Samuel figures out a way to get all three songs into one:  they’ll sing a round!

To Play or not to Play
Samuel and Rudy are playing together, but they can’t agree on a game they both like!  The two friends start to argue but Mr. Beakman happens along and tells them not to give up, there must be something they both like.  Muffin leads Rudy and Samuel to Missy’s house where everyone agrees on a game of dress up!

The Rudy Show
Rudy, Samuel and Muffin invite the whole town to come see the Rudy Show, an all-Rudy revue!  But when they arrive at the theatre, they find a big branch has fallen on the stage!  With the help of the community, the kids fix the stage just in time for Rudy’s performance!

Meet Elliott
Samuel and Rudy invite Muffin along for a picnic with their friend, Elliot.  Muffin is shocked to find out that Elliot is a worm!  Initially, Muffin thinks she and Elliot are too different to be friends, but Samuel convinces Muffin that different can be good.

Costume Party
There's a big costume party tonight!  Muffin is going to be Little Red Riding Hood and Samuel has the perfect apple to be an apple tree.  When he goes off to get the rest of his costume, Muffin cannot resist and she eats Samuel's apple. 
In the end, Muffin turns her Little Red Riding Hood costume into an apple outfit and completes Samuel's costume.

Egg-stras!
