DESCRIPTION: At Forest Camp, Odo and Doodle are playing tic-tac-toe with leaves and acorns. Doodle wins! Camp Leader walks by with a wagon and a bag of papers.

CAMP LEADER: Oh, Odo, I have a few little jobs that need doing

DESCRIPTION: Camp Leader holds up a checklist and hands it to Odo.

CAMP LEADER: Now, I would do it myself, but I'm very busy putting these posters up.

DESCRIPTION: Camp Leader takes one of the papers and hangs it up on a tree. It is a poster of three yellow birds accompanied by musical notes.

[ODO AND DOODLE GASP]

DOODLE: The Canaries are performing a new song?

CAMP LEADER: Mm. Tomorrow morning.

DESCRIPTION: Camp Leader tries to hang up the poster, but it keeps rolling back up.

DOODLE: I can't wait to hear it. Maybe if we ask nicely, the Canaries will sing it to us today.

ODO: A sneak peek tweet. Good idea, Doodle.

DESCRIPTION: Odo and Doodle run off.

CAMP LEADER: And don't forget about doing everything on my list!

DESCRIPTION: Later, the Canaries are sitting on a tree branch and singing.

[SINGING SCALES]

DESCRIPTION: One of the Canaries, Do, coughs and frowns.

[SPUTTERS]

[DO COUGHING]

[SINGING]

[SINGS OFF-KEY]

DESCRIPTION: Odo and Doodle look up at them and frown.

ODO: Huh?

DOODLE: Umm– That sounded a bit scratchy.

DO [WEAKLY]: We've been practicing so hard all day, it's given me a sore throat. If I sing a song like this, it's all over.

[COUGHS]

DO [WEAKLY]: You'll have to go ahead and sing...

[GASPS]

DO [WEAKLY]: without me.

[ALL GASP]

DESCRIPTION: Do hops off the branch and gestures to a poster.

DO [WEAKLY]: Singing was all I could do, but now, there's nothing else for me. Four years old and I'll never sing again.

DOODLE: But I'm sure there's lots of other things you can do.

ODO: Things that aren't even singing.

CANARY: Aren't singing?

DOODLE: We'll find something else you'll be brilliant at. I know we can!

DESCRIPTION: Later, Odo, Doodle, and Do pull a wagon over to some trees. Doodle reads the list Camp Leader gave to them.

ODO: We have a whole long list of special things to do from Camp Leader. I'm sure you'll be great at any of them.

DOODLE: Our first job is to collect apples.

DESCRIPTION: Doodle stands on Odo’s shoulders to reach some high-up branches. They put the apples in the basket.

ODO: Now, you try, Do.

DESCRIPTION: Do flies up to the trees and picks some fruit. They accidentally pick lemons! Do bites into one of the lemons.

[GRUNTING]

ODO: Do, wait, that's a lemon!

DESCRIPTION: Do grimaces.

[GROANS]

DO: That's sour!

[SPUTTERING]

ODO: Maybe fruit-picking isn't Do's new natural talent.

DESCRIPTION: Later, Odo, Doodle, and Do walk over a collection of beehives, where Inspector Feathers, a bald eagle who wears glasses, is jarring honey.

ODO: I'm sure you'll have more luck with the next thing on Camp Leader's list, Do. Honey collecting!

INSPECTOR FEATHERS: You're in luck. I'm just sorting out some jars of honey for my honey pantry.

ODO: Great, Inspector Feathers.

DESCRIPTION: Inspector Feathers opens a tap on the beehive, and honey pours out into the jar.

FEATHERS: Go ahead, Odo. Help yourself.

ODO: Wow.

DESCRIPTION: Doodle and Odo cap the jar.

INSPECTOR FEATHERS: Would you like to help, Do?

DO: Huh?

DESCRIPTION: Do picks up a glass jar and flies it over to the beehives. Suddenly, they drop the jar.

[GRUNTING, GROANING]

DESCRIPTION: The jar falls to the ground and rolls into a stack of other jars. They roll and knock into a beehive.

ALL: Oh!

DESCRIPTION: The beehive buzzes and shakes back and forth. Then, all of the beehives start to buzz and shake.

[BEES BUZZING]

INSPECTOR FEATHERS: It'll be fine. Just remember to keep calm and– Run away!

DESCRIPTION: They all run away from the beehives.

[ALL SCREAMING]

DESCRIPTION: Later, Odo, Doodle, and Do sit together and read through the checklist.

ODO: Well, there is one more job left.

[DO COUGHING]

ODO: Make Camp Leader a cup of tea. I know you can do it, Do. But you might need some help. And I know just the bird.

DESCRIPTION: Over by a bush, Pigeon Post is sleeping.

[SNORING]

PIGEON POST: Hundred.... Don't mind if I do.

ODO: Pigeon Post!

[GASPS AWAKE]

PIGEON POST: Odo! I was just dreaming of the perfect biscuit to dunk into the loveliest cup of tea.

ODO: Can you teach Do how to make the loveliest cup of tea in the whole forest?

PIGEON POST: It would be an honor.

DESCRIPTION: Odo, Doodle, Do sit at a wooden table across from Pigeon Post. He has a wagon full of mugs, spoons, and tea.

PIGEON POST: To create the perfect cuppa, you need the finest cup,

DESCRIPTION: Pigeon Post puts down a yellow mug.

PIGEON POST: the exact quantity of tea leaves,

DESCRIPTION: Pigeon Post fills the mug with hot water, then adds tea leaves.

PIGEON POST: left to brew for just the right amount of time, perfect number of stirs....

DESCRIPTION: He stirs the tea.

ALL: One, two, three.

PIGEON POST: Blow gently across the surface, and....

DESCRIPTION: Pigeon Post takes a big sip of his tea.

[SIGHS]

[CHUCKLES]

PIGEON POST: Always let a grown-up pour the water for you.

ODO: Mm-hm.

DESCRIPTION: Soon after, Do, Odo, and Doodle each have a tea set in front of them. Each has a mug, a container of tea, an acorn, and a spoon. Pigeon Post pours hot water into each mug.

ALL: Cup. Tea leaves, brew.

DESCRIPTION: Odo and Doodle take small pinches of tea and stir.

BOTH: Stir.

DESCRIPTION: Do furrows their brow and pours in the whole container of tea. They frantically look around.

[GASPS]

DO: What was it, again?

[GROANING]

PIGEON POST: Odo and Doodle, splendid efforts. Those are very professional-looking cups of tea.

DESCRIPTION: Pigeon Post takes a sip of both Odo and Doodle’s cups of tea with a smile.

PIGEON POST: Top marks, Odo and Doodle. And Do?

DESCRIPTION: Pigeon Post looks over to Do, where Do is frantically stirring a cup of tea that is filled to the brim with honey and lemon.

PIGEON POST: Oh, my. Quite an un-tealike aroma. You know, I think I've had enough tea today, actually.

DO: Oh, I panicked. I put in the nearest things I could find.

[GASPS]

DO: Maybe if I blow on it to cool it down.

[SLURPS, GROANS]

DO: Tastes nothing like tea.

[COUGHS]

DESCRIPTION: After Do takes a drink of their tea, their regular voice slowly returns.

DO: Oh, no. It's all sweet and lemony...

[GASPS]

DO [NORMAL VOICE]: ...and honey. What a disaster. What a failure!

DESCRIPTION: Odo and Doodle smile at Do.

DOODLE: Do, your voice. It's back.

DO: It is? It is! My sore throat has gone.

DESCRIPTION: Pigeon Post picks up Do’s cup of tea and takes a sip. He smiles brightly.

PIGEON POST: Goodness, delicious. And rather soothing.

ODO: You've invented a cure for sore throats.

DOODLE: Mmm. We knew you had hidden talents.

DESCRIPTION: Do flies into the air and sings.

DO: Uh-huh. And I can sing!

DO [SINGS]: Whoo-oooh-oooh

DOODLE: Now, you can sing the dawn chorus tomorrow with the Canaries.

DO [GIGGLES]: I can!

DESCRIPTION: The next day, the Canaries sing together in front of a crowd of the other birds. Pigeon Post and Camp Leader drink lemon-honey tea.

[THE CANARIES HARMONIZING]

PIGEON POST: Perfect start to the day, this.

[CHUCKLES]

CAMP LEADER: Oh, yes. Especially with this sweet honey and lemon tea.

[SLURPS]

LOUIS: Delicious! Don't you mean, Do-licious?

[TOUCANS LAUGHING]

[CANARIES HARMONIZING]
