Great idea making these bird-head costumes, Rosie.
Perfect for bird-watching!
They are, right? Are you sure we don't need the whole bird costume?
The heads are all we need so birds don't see us watching.
-We don't want to scare them. -They scare me.
I don't want them watching me watch them.
But I'll do it for science. And my besties.
Come on, less talking, more squawking. I mean bird-watching.
-[chirps] -[gasps] No feathers!
-Freaky! -Great observation, Iggy.
-This bird is a hatchling, so-- -Hatch-who? Bless you!
[laughs] No, baby birds are called hatchlings.
They don't have feathers.
-Oh! -Got it.
[Ada] Oh! It's the mama bird!
[chirping]
-Feeding her baby. -[all] Aw!
[owl hooting]
The hatchling has a teeny bit of feathers now.
[Ada] That means it's turning into a fledgling.
That's a little less freaky.
Oh! The mama bird's leaving.
Probably to find food, which she does every day at exactly… now!
-[meows] -[chirping]
-[Mooshu meows] -[all gasp]
-[meows] -[dramatic music plays]
[chirping]
[all gasp]
-The nest! -Oh, no!
We have to get over there, now!
[meows]
-[slowed down] No! -[chirping]
-[meows] -No!
-Mooshu! -[meows]
-[regular speed] Gotcha! -[grunts] I got it!
I got it!
[crashing]
[groans] I don't got it.
Mooshu, I know cats are supposed to chase birds, but behave.
[meows]
-[Iggy shudders] -[chirps]
[screams]
Look at him. He's so little. He needs his mama.
According to my notes, she just left for food,
and from what we observed the past few days,
she won't be back for at least four hours.
We have to do something. We need a brainstorm!
I know! We could make a teeny hammock and tie it in the tree.
-What about wind? He could fall out. -Hmm, true. That would be pretty scary.
I could build a birdhouse with lots of rooms and balconies!
A landing pad. A chocolate fountain!
That sounds amazing, but is that too much house for a bird?
You're right.
We could keep him in my hair! My mom says it's like a nest up there.
But what if more birds think your hair's a nest?
Yeah, that would be pretty bad.
That's it!
Uh, no, it isn't.
I don't want a flock of birds in my hair. It takes forever to get the feathers out.
No, we could build the bird a new nest. Not in Rosie's hair, though.
-Great idea! -Perfect!
We'll put him here while we work.
Here you go, little birdie. We're gonna make you a new nest.
So, how do we make a nest?
First, let's see what his nest is made of. Loading the lab!
[thrilling music plays]
I'll get the microscope.
I love seeing what things are made of! Engineering 101.
Incredible! Look at the twigs.
How they weave in and out of each other. And the fluff work?
Wow!
This is magical engineering!
Birds are really good architects.
And engineers.
Who knew?
Okay, so it looks like the nest we make should have twigs, leaves, and fluff.
-And sparkly stuff for decoration! -[laughs]
I have an idea for a design!
[chirps]
-[chirps] -[screams]
And… done!
-[Rosie] So cool! -Let's get supplies!
A-ha!
I've got leaves.
I have so many twigs. Maybe you should call me "Twiggy" instead of "Iggy."
[giggles]
And Rosie brings up the rear with dandelion fluff.
And sparkles! Come on, let's build a nest!
Just one more twig, and done!
-Wow! Love the design, Iggy. -Ah, thanks.
I was inspired by the twig weaving in the original nest.
[Rosie] Let's put the bird in it!
-[Ada] Wait! -Huh?
We should test the nest first. Make sure it's safe for the birdie.
Duh! Are we scientists or not? Of course we should test it!
-But, uh, how? -Hmm.
We could make a test bird. Small and soft, just like the baby bird.
Oh, Rosie Rule Number 32!
I know! Always have balloons. But what does that have to do with--
Will this wise old owl do the trick?
-Good one. -It's perfect.
-[pops] -[chirps]
-[shrieks] -[Mooshu meows]
Oh! He got scared.
If by "he" you mean me, you're right!
Oh! Look at this face. He's not so scary.
I guess he's not that scary when he's not jumping on me.
I think the nest was too twiggy for the birdie.
-[Iggy] Yeah, I think you're right. -He's soft. Wanna touch him, Iggy?
Um, no, that's okay.
-[chirps] -[all] Aw!
-I think he likes you. -[gulps]
-[chirps] -He is kinda cute.
And his feathers are really soft.
[gasp] Soft! I have an idea.
Less twigs, more leaves and fluff. This one is definitely not too twiggy.
It's super soft.
Oh, no!
[meows]
[chirps]
[sighs] I wanted to design a cool, creative nest for you.
But I guess I'm not as good an architect as birds are. [sighs]

Okay, okay. I'll try again.
But where do I even start?
Well, according to my notes,
the original nest was twiggy, soft, and sparkly, right?
Yup. My first nest was too twiggy, and my second nest was too soft.
And not sparkly enough.
So we just need to get the perfect combination of both.
And sparkles.
[repeating] Chirp.
What're you doing?
Trying to ask the birdie what kind of nest he wants.
I don't think he can answer you. He's still a baby. He can't speak yet.
Totally excellent point.
But, Rosie, you just gave me an idea.
If we're the birds, we can talk to ourselves.
-Huh? -Okay.
Then we can feel if it's too pointy or too soft.
We can get the right combo of twiggy and soft.
And add sparkles.
Exactly! Turns out making full bird costumes was a great idea, Rosie.
Chirp, chirp, chirp. That means "thanks" in bird.
So let's test this nest!
[upbeat music plays]
[purrs]
Strong, but not too pointy.
Soft, but not too soft.
It's perfect! Thanks for not letting me give up, you guys.
Hey, that's what besties are for.
[sighs] Teamwork makes the dream work.
[yawns]
I wanted to design a cool, creative nest so bad
that I didn't think about what the bird needed.
Great realization, Iggy.
Let's see if the birdie feels as comfortable in his nest as we do.
-[Rosie snores] -Some of us a little too comfortable.
[laughs] Come on, Rosie.
Five more minutes. Chirp, chirp.
That means "feed me" in bird.
[all laugh]
[chirps]
-[all] Aw! -He loves it. You did it, Iggy!
We did it. By looking at it from the bird's point of view.
Oh! New theory! The Bird's Eye View Theory,
when you solve a problem by looking at it from another point of view.
-Oh, boy! Oh, boy! I love! -I like it. A lot!
I'll get my dad to help us put the nest in the tree.
[chirping]
[Iggy] I hope Kiwi's mom likes the nest.
-Kiwi? -Who's that?
The bird. He's brownish with adorable green and black spots in his feathers.
-Love it! -Oh! Perfect!
-[chirps] -[all gasp]
-[Ada gasps] I think mama bird likes it. -She loves it!
-[Iggy] And Kiwi looks happy and safe. -So, do you love birds now, Iggy?
[screams] I don't know about birds, but I love Kiwi.
[Ada, Rosie] Aw!
Hmm. [gasps]
I have an idea. Let's meet another scientist. Come on!
Hi, I'm Whitney, and I'm an ornithologist.
Today, we're gonna be talking about bird nests.
We don't need this birdhouse. We've got the real thing. Come on.
[girl] Let's go!
Birds make a lot of different types of nests,
because they all live in different habitats.
They'll all be a little bit different.
Kind of like how you decorate your room different from your friend.
So, here we have nests of two different species
and you can see that the shape is very similar.
They both form a cup-shaped nest,
but this one has just twigs,
and this one is twigs on the inside and covered with moss on the outside.
They make their nests out of different materials,
because each bird has different materials available to them.
They might use string that they find on the ground
or any trash that they find that might be soft for their nest.
So if you look at nests from birds in the city
and compare them to birds that might nest in the forest,
those nests might look different.
Some materials that birds use to make nests are warmer than others.
So if you look at this nest, it looks like it has a lot of spiderwebs
and maybe some insulating fur, and it looks like it would be pretty warm
compared to a nest that looks more like this, where it's just twigs.
It's a bit more airy and that nest might be a little cooler.
Some birds rebuild their nests every year.
Other birds will come back to the same nest and reuse their nest.
So if you see a nest, maybe the birds are on vacation
and they might come back to the nest, so leave it where it is just in case.
Fun fact! [laughs]
The smallest bird nest is made by a hummingbird
and it's about this big.
And the largest bird nest is made by an eagle,
and it's nine and a half feet wide, which is longer than my arms outstretched.
I could even fit in that nest!
Wasn't that cool? Science is the best!
[Ada speaking]
-[Ada] Ah! -Is it morning?
Is it me, or does your brain feel fresher after a good night's sleep?
Don't you just love mornings?
-[meows] -[Ada laughs]
Do brains work better in the morning?
I come up with some of my best questions in the morning.
So, yeah, I guess they do.
-[groaning] -[Ada] Hmm.
[dramatic music plays]
-Huh? -[Mom yawns, mumbles]
[meows]
That's strange.
Correction. Very strange.
-[doorbell rings] -[gasps]
-Hey. -Morning, Ada.
Oh, Rosie, Iggy. You're early for the sleepover.
If you call six hours early early!
-[all laugh] -Rosie wanted to get here for breakfast.
[snoring]
[gasping]
[meows]
-What's wrong with them? -Haven't figured that out yet.
This might need a hypot-- Uh…
A hipoz-- Uh…
Hiposys…
Uh, that thing that scientists do
-when they guess what's going on. -Hypothesis!
Yes! When scientists imagine an explanation,
then try to prove it.
Good thinking, Rosie!
Let's see.
[snoring]
Everyone's walking around in their pj's and yawning.
And their eyes are barely open.
Yawning, pj's, eyes barely open. Well, the answer's obvious.
They've been turned into zombies!
[gasps]
A tiny wizard probably snuck in, sprinkled your family with zombie dust,
then flew off on his getaway unicorn.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
This kitchen has no place to park a unicorn!
True. And now that I think about it,
I've noticed some stuff that might prove something else.
Arthur's been staying up a lot lately.
Which means he's probably really tired in the morning and can't get up.
[snores]
It also means he probably hasn't been getting up in time
to do his newspaper deliveries.
Hmm…
[Rosie] That's why I saw your mom and dad delivering papers.
They were doing it for Arthur.
Oh, no!
Now that we know this,
I think we should revise our hizzop--
Bleh, our hizz--
Boy, that is hard to say!
Hippopotamus?
Hypothesis.
You're right, we need a new one, and I've got it.
My family aren't zombies.
They're just sleepy!
[snores]
We need to solve this problem.
Okay, so Arthur sleeping late
is why my parents had to deliver the papers for him.
So we need to find a way to make sure Arthur gets sleep.
Makes sense.
If he gets sleep, then your parents will too,
and no one will be sleep zombies.
We need a brainstorm!
Oh, this is my favorite part!
♪ Brainstorm, brainstorm ♪

♪ Brainstorm, brainstorm ♪
♪ Gather your friends Try to find the how, the what, the why ♪
♪ Brainstorm, brainstorm ♪

Hmm, what if Arthur could deliver his papers from bed?
Using tubes! Then it wouldn't matter if he slept in.
All you do is reach over to the nightstand,
press a button, and whoosh!
Papers rocket everywhere!
Powerful.
But is it too powerful?
[exciting music plays]
[crashing]
Earthlings!
-Oh! -Oh!
What if we build Arthur a super alarm so he doesn't sleep in?
It could do all sorts of things to wake him up.
[whistling]
Including making delicious-smelling bacon!
Now we're cookin'!
[laughs] Like bacon. I see what you did there.
But why stop with just waking up?
The gizmo could also make sure he falls asleep.
It could help him count sheep and fluff his pillow.
Oh! And play soothing jazz music on your mom's turntable.
[soothing jazz music plays]
[vocalizing]
Guys, this solution is sleep-tacular!
Let's figure out how to do it.
Loading the lab.
[thrilling music plays]
So, let's get building!
Wait. Rosie, you can't build our gizmo until I design it.
[groans] I want to start building now!
[sighs] But I guess I'll wait.
[sighs]
Okay.
[gasps] That looks amazing!
Nice!
How's it going? You know this sleepover is only for one weekend?
And Arthur's going to be back from tennis practice soon!
It's done!
[gasping]
-Whoa! -It's…
Amazing? Spectacular? Beyond belief?
Totally agree.
Since grilling bacon in your brother's room
is apparently "not a good idea"
and a "fire hazard," according to your parents,
I had to substitute it for cereal.
[clattering]
Since Mom wouldn't let us move the turntable from the living room,
we gotta come up with something else.
I'll imitate the calming calls of the humpback whale! [laughs]
-That's how my dad falls asleep. -What in the…
Huh? What is this?
This? Oh, this.
This is how you fall asleep and wake up from now on.
We call it The Super Sleeper And Also Waker-Upper gizmo!
-Got a nice ring to it, don't you think? -[sighs] Kids.
I just want to get this magic trick to work.
Time to activate The Super Sleeper. Iggy, cue your whale imitation.
[high-pitched warbling]
[snoring]
Ugh!
I must be missing something.
[snoring]
Hibby kitties in the ice-cream cards. Mmm…
[gasps] What? Oh, no. Iggy!
Rosie! Wake up!
-Arthur! Your paper route. Get up! -[snoring]
What time is it?
It's morning.
Did The Super Sleeper And Waker-Upper gizmo work?
The Super Sleeper part worked. Too well. It made us fall asleep!
[yawns] How'd these sleeping bags get here?
My parents must have brought them in.
I guess that's it.
Your family will be sleep zombies forever.
Hold on. Our sleepover isn't over.
Scientists don't give up. A new idea could come from anywhere.
[Dad laughing]
Dad? Are you all right?
Funny cat video.
Boy, your dad really loves cat videos.
[laughs] These things really help you stay awake. Check this one out.
[laughing] Cat doesn't see the dancing chicken!
[laughs]
Hmm. That's it! We're just like that cat in this video.
Why? Is there a giant chicken dancing around us?
'Cause that would be really terrifying!
[laughs] In a way, there is. We've been concentrating so hard
that we've been missing something that's right in front of us.
I'll show you.
What's Arthur been doing while we've been trying to solve his sleep problem?
-[snoring] -Trying to get his magic trick to work.
But we didn't notice because we were too busy trying to get him to sleep.
-[yawns] -[snoring]
Cards. [moans]
Just like the cat and the dancing chicken! Now I get it.
Arthur's been staying up so late 'cause he's trying to get his trick right.
I think we have a new scientific theory. The Dancing Chicken Theory.
When you're so focused on one thing
that you don't see what's right in front of you.
I like it. I like it a lot!
Ada Twist, scientist, that's brilliant.
So, maybe we help Arthur get his sleep by helping him with his magic?
Oh, no, not you guys again! What do you want now?
Are you missing a trick card by any chance?
[gasps] Oh!
That's why the trick wasn't working! Thanks!
Breakfast! What sleepovers are really all about!
-Thanks, Mom and Dad! -Thanks!
-Papers have been delivered. -[Mom] Great.
That's what I'm talking about, little man. Great job.
Check out my magic trick.
Thanks to Ada, Rosie, and Iggy, I finally got it to work.
[shuffling]
[gasping]
-So cool! -I love it!
I was missing the special card.
It was in front of you the whole time. Just like the dancing chicken!
[mimicking chicken sounds, laughing]
[meows]
Hmm. [gasps]
I have an idea. Let's meet another scientist. Come on!
-[moody music] -[creaking]
Hello! My name is Elizabeth Messick and I'm a magician,
and welcome to my magical space.
Today, we are gonna learn about the science of magic.
So let's get to it.
[whimsical music playing]
-[clanging] -[Ada gasps] Oh!
Magic and science go hand in hand.
Science explains how magic works.
Key! Key!
Move with ease.
Look, it's moving!
[Ada] Oh!
Now let's try this cup.
Cup, cup,
move with luck.
[triumphant chords play]
Let me show you how it's done.
We used a wand,
a metal object,
and the secret is we used an assistant. Say hi!
-[funny voice] Hello! -And a magnet.
A magnet's a rock or metal that's attracted to other certain types of metal,
and the force of magnets is called magnetism.
Magnetism works over a distance,
so it doesn't have to be touching the piece of metal or magnet.
[Ada] Whoa!
[Ada] Oh!
So, my assistant actually has his hand under the table with the magnet
and he's moving the magnet around, making the cup move around.
Sometimes a magic trick can take me a couple of years to complete,
but you want to make sure that your performance is right.
You have to keep practicing and practicing
and making sure people believe that it's real magic.
The magic of science.
Fun fact!
Did you know that the earth is a giant magnet?
Isn't that wild?
[whistling]
Wasn't that cool? Science is the best!
[closing theme music playing]
