Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	At the Fix-it Shop, Big Bird notices that Luis has a new pet canary in a cage, and feels left out when Luis says it sings beautifully. He’s not that impressed, saying he's a bird, too, and tries to sing for Luis. He makes loud duck quacks into Luis' ear and decides he needs more practice. He goes outside and works on his whistling instead, but only results in attracting multiple taxi cabs (and their angry drivers). Big Bird tells Luis that he shouldn't rely on his canary in case he needs a ride.
