From scratch marks to stolen pepperoni slices, the science classroom's a mess -- and all clues point to Wanda's magpie friend, Marty the Magpie.
It's funny that Ralphie thought Wanda was giving him sweet talk, when she was actually referring to her magpie friend Marty.
A crime scene!
The plastic diver is missing!
All the pepperoni on the pizza has been picked off.
Miss Frizzle believes this is The Case of the Chaotic Classroom.
Jyoti will be taking pictures, while Carlos and Keesha investigate.
Some nuts have been cracked.
Another clue. A feather.
They've got the book on birds!
Keesha and Carlos will be talking to the DA.
Who is of course, Dorothy Ann.
So this is Marty's nest.
Come on! Ride on The Magic Bird Bus!
It couldn't have been a sea eagle. Their feet adapt like people wearing shoes.
The whistle, the scuba diver, and the whistle!
All kinds of birds have different kinds of feet.
And different kinds of beaks.
Wasn't a hummingbird because their feet are too small.
Wasn't a woodpecker because they have cross-like talons.
A bald eagle! Now where have we seen that before?
It wasn't a pelican.
It wasn't a crane.
It wasn't a penguin.
It definitely wasn't an ostrich.
Come on! Ride on The Magic Court Bus!
Birds are in the jury.
Liz being a judge here reminds me of the time she was a judge in In a Pickle.
A spy camera for the skeleton.
So the cardinal was eating the nuts.
And the duck was splashing in the tank.
But Marty still ate pizza.
Goldie can't seem to eat any corn.
Who would've thought Wanda would befriend a magpie like that? Further proving she's acting like Phoebe would act.
Funny how this episode is a complete reference to Law and Order. Funny thing is, there's a Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi episode with that name. If you want to see my review on that episode, I did it a few years ago, Go here.
I'm telling you, this episode did feel like a remake of In a Pickle, Ups and Downs, and Taking Flight. Only the culprit in this crime were 2 birds.
It was still a good way to teach kids about birds this episode, though I think they should've mentioned that the soles of a bird's feet are called talons. And this episode also kind of felt like Hides and Seeks but with a crime. Only because it had the same music playing. But I felt Wanda was a bit too protective of Marty, but for obvious reasons. And I felt that Carlos and Keesha were a bit hard on Marty. I mean he's just a bird.
"Hmm.. There's something fishy about this case. Get it? Fishy? Because, aquarium?"
Good one, Carlos. Reminds me of the fishy pun he made in Ups and Downs.
"According to my reesearch, birds' feet and beaks are adapted to match with what they do and where they live."
That's true, Dorothy Ann.
Well, ducks do have flat round beaks to feed on aquatic animals, as demonstrated in Gets Swamped.
"Oh no!"
"Oh yes!"
"Oh yes!"
Reminds me of the time Dorothy Ann said that in Shows and Tells.

Season 6 so far: 9/10.

ReplyDeleteDorothy Ann talked about the polar bear, and referenced what she learned in In the Arctic. But I guess Ralphie has some understanding of the concept of adaptations now, since he was stuck on the Bus when learning about polar bears. (or he was with the kids for a split second).
