Episode Title:
Bird in the Hand.
Episode Description:
Angela buys a birthday present for Lavinia - a parrot. But while she goes out to buy some birdseed, Old Tom lets the bird out of the cage. Angela returns home to find Old Tom and Lucy chasing the bird around the living room. They almost catch it, but it escapes through the chimney. Then Lavinia arrives. Angela pleads with Old Tom and Lucy to catch the bird, while she keeps Lavinia busy. Old Tom and Lucy build a home-made flying machine so they can fly after the bird, but it keeps outsmarting them. Finally, Old Tom catches the bird with his net, but he falls out of the flying machine. The bird and Old Tom tumble down Angela's chimney and land back in her living room. Lavinia is delighted with her present but, because she believes animals should be free, lets the bird go.
