The duck wins by making the perfect shape with four equal sides. The Thirty-second Egg Lay is the next event. The chicken is the only bird who can actually lay an egg, so the chicken wins. Next, there's the Rhyming Competition, which Big Bird wins. The scores are now tied- one point for each bird. The Bird Dance Competition is the final event and whoever wins this will have two points and win the grand prize. Each bird must do a dance that shows what if feels like to be a bird. All of them dance so "birdy" in their own birdish way that Alan and Chris decide that Big Bird, the chicken and the duck all win! The grand prize is ten pounds of birdseed which they all feast on together. THEME: Mathematics, V, 11 Rebroadcast
