Episode summary

Transcript

Panel 1: Tavi stands on a broad railed platform, spotting a big green kite drifting close by. A small nest with two baby birds is securely caught at the kite's lower wooden crossbar. Pip circles nearby.
Tavi: "Unexpected passengers!"

Panel 2: Pip carries a loose soft rescue cord to the kite's wooden frame while Tavi holds the other end from the safe platform. The babies stay in their nest.
Tavi: "Easy does it."

Panel 3: With the kite now tethered at the platform rail, Tavi carefully lifts the entire intact nest into a sheltered round wicker basket fixed to the railing. Pip watches beside the babies.
Tavi: "All aboard."

Panel 4: The baby birds rest safely in their basket nest under a little wooden roof. Pip perches beside them. Tavi ties the empty kite securely to a hook.
Tavi: "Grounded with breakfast."
