## Summary

The episode opens with Fishtronaut doing a bird call as a woodpecker appears and Marina congratulates him for finding that bird in her book of ornithology; Fishtronaut has never heard of this name before and has never heard of the word "woodpecker" before. It began pecking on his Bubblex helmet and Marina says that it is her turn to do a bird call; however, she did a bird call and a mysterious noise is heard from a distance. Hearing the noise, many birds start scattering around after hearing a strange noise as Fishtronaut and Marina are not sure what bird is making this noise. Meeting Zeek resting in his hammock on a quiet day, Fishtronaut tells him that the birds are scared by a strange noise in the park and stopped singing. Zeek is curious what the noise sounded like and Marina used the same noise from before. When Zeek explains that he never heard of that noise before, a sleeping goose appears above him and Zeek decides to escape from them. Fishtronaut and Marina are confused why Zeek is acting strange and decides to use his Noise-o-Meter to help where the noise is coming from. All of a sudden, a P.O.P. appears and the Fishtronaut and Marina tell the viewers to dance to the P.O.P..

**P.O.P. Clues:** suitcase and maple leaf

Marina received the leaf, which is the same shape of a maple leaf from the flag of Canada and Fishtronaut receives an empty suitcase and are unsure what the clues really mean. All of a sudden, the Noise-o-Meter starts vibrating and Fishtronaut and Marina follow where the noise is coming from. All of a sudden, Dr. Green arrives on his scooter and tells Marina and Fishtronaut what both of them are doing and Marina says that she and Fishtronaut are on a trail for a mysterious honking noise and Marina tells him if he heard a loud honking noise and Dr. Green has heard. Fishtronaut uses the Noise-o-Meter to indicate if this is the one that's making a honk. Fishtronaut says that the honk isn't from Dr. Green's scooter and Dr. Green tells them that the horn on his scooter needs to be fixed as it keeps on honking by itself. Marina tells Fishtronaut that the noise isn't coming from her grandfather's scooter horn and what she and Fishtronaut heard was louder than the scooter horn.

All of a sudden, they both hear a honking noise again and they approach closer and Fishtronaut tells her that the noise is coming from the tree where a he sees a mother sloth and her son. The mother sloth tells him that her son likes to make a honking noise. Fishtronaut and Marina found the wrong noise and the Noise-o-Meter tells him that this is a different honking noise. But before they can continue, Fishtronaut returns to his lab to refill his bubbles. After refilling his bubbles, Fishtronaut meets Happy Plumb and tells him there is a strange honking noise in the park and gives him the clues given by the P.O.P.. Happy Plumb responds to him with his riddle: "Try looking for birds of a feather that don't flock together". Returning to Marina, Fishtronaut tells her the riddle from Happy Plumb: "Look for birds of a feather that don't flock together." Marina is curious what the word "flock" means. Behind Fishtronaut and Marina are a flock of geese that are migrating and Fishtronaut decides to ask the flock of geese.

Fishtronaut talks to one of the geese what the word "flock" means. The Head Goose explains to him that a flock is a group of animals and a group of geese is called a "flock" and the flock travels together to go their favourite getaways. Fishtronaut explains where the flock of geese is from and the Head Goose says that he and the other geese are from Canada. He explains that the winter weather in Canada is too cold for geese and they migrate to some place warm and it is spring in Smiling Trees Park and the geese are returning to their home in Canada. Fishtronaut found out that this is the right honking noise that was heard in the forest as the honking noise comes from a flock of honking geese. Fishtronaut tells Marina what the suitcase means that the flock of geese travel back and forth and the maple leaf means the geese are from Canada. After solving the clues, Fishtronaut and Marina found the hat with a feather that Zeek left and Fishtronaut gives it to him and tells him where the feather came from and Fishtronaut tells him that he's hiding someone from them and Zeek tells the Canada goose that he hid to come out of the bush. Zeek tells him that he and the goose are pals and were hiding, but Fishtronaut tells him that the goose must leave the forest and migrate to Canada. Zeek likes his goose friend, but must say goodbye to the goose.

The gang decides to have a goodbye meeting with the goose and Zeek explains that the goose was saying that the water becomes solid in the winter and the noise that the baby sloth is making isn't from a bird, but is actually music. The gang decides to say goodbye to the goose; however, a P.O.P. arrives and Marina tells the viewer to dance to the rhythm of the P.O.P. to open it.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** whistles

Receiving the whistles, Fishtronaut tells Zeek to blow in the whistle to say goodbye to the goose and Zeek tells the goose to migrate to Canada and that he and the gang would see him next winter. The goose leaves the gang and Fishtronaut and the gang says goodbye to the flock of geese who are migrating to Canada.
