Mr. Hooper and Maria assume Big Bird is sick, since he didn't come out to play today and ordered some food to be delivered to his nest. When they get to his nest, they see that he's taking care of a friend's egg while they're away. The egg hatches, and Big Bird realizes he'll have to temporarily be a mommy/daddy bird to the baby bird. Jazz #8. Luis visits Big Bird while he tries to teach the baby bird to talk, which isn't easy because Big Bird says "chirp" and the baby says "cheep". He then tries to feed it some birdseed, but the baby bird only winds up making a mess. Big Bird is losing his patience, but Luis suggests he try to lull the baby bird to sleep. Just when they think it's asleep, the baby bird wakes up and makes more noise. Artist: Bud Luckey.
