 	SCENE 	Big Bird welcomes the viewer as he fluffs his feathers. Elmo catches up with him and wants to fluff along, so the two sing a brief fluffing tune. Elmo wonders what it would be like to be all feathery and wishes he could be a bird. This summons his Fairy Godperson, who plays back Elmo's wish on his cellular wand. With a musical spell, the Godperson turns Elmo into a little, red bird! He vanishes off to help his next client, a moose who wants to fly like a squirrel. Big Bird is impressed with the new bird Elmo.

 	SCENE cont'd 	At the Birdketeer meeting, Big Bird introduces everyone to the new Elmo-Bird. They all count the number of times Elmo-Bird flies past them. He flies too high and collides with Super Grover. Grover notes how familiar the bird seems and goes back to the skies.
 	SCENE cont'd 	The meeting ends and Big Bird thinks of all the fun, bird things he and Elmo-Bird can do together. However, he soon realizes he'll miss having the actual Elmo around and the two agree he should change back. Elmo-Bird makes a wish to summon the Fairy Godperson, who musically turns Elmo back to his monster self. The Godperson poofs off to pick up things for his mommy ("I'm not just a fairy godperson.
