Episode 1071

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Gordon drops off his broken mixer at the Fix-it Shop, where Luis tells him his special plans for today. In response to a suggestion from Susan, he is going to build a birdhouse to put up on Sesame Street, and shows Gordon the blueprint he made for it. Big Bird saunters in (temporarily getting jammed in the doorway when Gordon exits) and Luis consults his bird expertise on the subject. Big Bird gives some suggestions - a bigger door, shutters and a windowbox for the window, a railing, and a mini American eagle over the doorway. Luis expects to finish building it today and Big Bird runs off excitedly, not hearing who the birdhouse is for; he thinks it'll be for him!

 	SCENE 2 	Big Bird has begun packing his belongings away in cardboard boxes, thinking it'll be worth all the trouble Luis will be going through making his "new home." Susan comes by and learns of the news (not knowing about the actual birdhouse) and says that they'll miss him a lot when he moves, having been good neighbors for a long time. She leaves for work and asks Big Bird to reconsider leaving his nest, but his mind is already made up... or is it?
