“ | I'm a jay, watch me fly and hear me sing. | ” |
— J |
Jaybird is the 23rd episode of the first series of Alphablocks.
Synopsis
J wants to sing and fly like a bird - can A and friends help?
Story
J "pretends" to be a jaybird. She tries to fly and sing like a jay, however, due to the added weight, she is too heavy and she makes a "deep" bird. It upsets A and I. I tries singing. J has the same dot, like I has. However, I is not the same "jaybird" and she sings better than J. As she leaves, she tries again, but the noise makes B, M, O, R, W, and Y. Poor J doesn't think she's a jaybird. But if she really isn't...
