Why Are Parrots So Colorful? ๐Ÿฆœ

Brik and Lumi spend one whole day, from a starlit baobab roost at night to golden sunrise to sunset and back to starlight, discovering why a macaw is so brightly colored. Under the stars they meet Ruby the macaw and young Mango, weathering a sudden night storm before building The Starlit Baobab Roost. At sunrise they raise The Feather-Paint Workshop and meet Coral the flamingo. By noon they weather a second storm sheltered beneath the great baobab at The Baobab Shade Stage, and at night they build The Rainbow Starlight Aviary where the whole family rests together.

What your child will learn

Why some of a macaw's colors, like red and yellow, are her own natural pigmentWhy blue and green feathers are not painted, but bend light like a tiny rainbowWhy a flamingo's own pink color comes from the shrimp and algae she eatsWhy thunder always arrives after lightning, and how to count the seconds between themWhat a baobab tree is, why it stores water, and why its flowers open only at nightHow one day moves from a starlit night to sunrise to daytime to sunset and back to night

What your child will see

A calm, starlit baobab roost at night

A sudden nighttime storm with lightning and thunder

A golden, glowing sunrise

A giant workshop hung with feathers of every color

An enormous ancient baobab tree with branches like roots in the sky

A second sudden storm followed by a bright rainbow

Round monkey-bread fruits hanging from the baobab

An orange-and-pink sunset sky over a rainbow-lit aviary

How the day goes

Brik and Lumi begin on a dark, starlit baobab roost at night, weather a sudden storm together with a frightened Giggles and a curling hedgehog, and build The Starlit Baobab Roost, The First Roost Lantern and The Roost-Light Watch Tower before crossing The Dawn Baobab Bridge toward the very first sunrise of their day.

As the sun comes up, they meet Coral the flamingo, discover how a macaw makes her own colors while blue and green bend light instead, and raise The Feather-Paint Workshop, The Four Color-Brightness Steps and The Rainbow-Feather Table.

Under the strong midday sun, they build The Baobab Shade Stage, weather a second sudden storm sheltered beneath the great tree's branches while counting seconds between lightning and thunder, and discover the baobab's own round fruit.

As the sky turns orange and the stars return, Brik and Lumi build The Little Fledgling Shelter, The Rainbow Starlight Aviary and The Feather-Watching Bench, where the whole family rests together, safe under the stars.

BrikLumi

0:00Why Are Parrots So Colorful?

LumiHave you ever wondered why a happy macaw wears such bold colors?

BrikWatch closely, and our whole colorful answer begins right now.

BrikBrik points to a sleepy macaw roosting high in an old tree.

LumiNot one feather on that bird looks exactly like another tonight.

BrikThis beautiful world has a Maker. He is God the Father, and He Himself wants us to call Him Father.

LumiGood morning, dear friends! We are Brik and Lumi, and today we got up very early to watch the sunrise together.

BrikLook, the stars are still shining, and in a few minutes the sun will come up just for us.

LumiOpen your eyes wide and come along, today something special is waiting.

BrikCan you say macaw? Macaw.

LumiThat huge tree is a baobab, its trunk wider than several children together.

BrikGod the Father loves every one of us, and He wants each of you to be with Him in Heaven one day.

LumiEvery branch on this baobab curls up high, like roots reaching the sky.

BrikEven in darkness, small white flowers on the baobab open right now.

LumiMacaws! Can you say macaw? Macaw.

BrikThe whole tree stays hushed and warm, safe under the wide night sky.

LumiRoosting like this, Ruby tucks her bright tail feathers close beside her.

2:00What Is Inside the Starlit Baobab Roost?

BrikNot one macaw in this tree ever loses its bright color in the dark.

BrikGod the Father sent us the Lord Jesus, because He wants real happiness for us.

LumiResting so still means every macaw saves up energy for a new day.

BrikA little macaw! Can you say fledgling? Fledgling, a young bird still learning to fly.

LumiHis name is Mango, and he tucks in close beside his mother, Ruby.

BrikThe whole roost waits patiently.

LumiCan you wait quietly too?

BrikNot one star stops twinkling.

LumiMango leans into Ruby's warm side, safe beside his gentle mother.

BrikThe stars above the baobab blink, calm and perfectly still tonight.

LumiMary is our Mother and the Queen of Heaven, and she always takes care of us.

BrikCan you say cozy? It means warm, soft, and safe, just right for resting.

LumiResting cozy is one comfort, and every macaw finds its own way.

BrikEvery macaw here feels safe and warm beside the others nearby.

LumiDown below, the baobab's white flowers glow pale and soft in the dark.

BrikLook, a big dark cloud rolls in fast, covering every star.

LumiThe whole night turns thick and heavy, the warm air goes still.

4:05How Many Seconds Until the Thunder Arrives?

BrikThere! A bright flash of lightning lights up the whole dark tree.

LumiLet's count together until we hear the thunder: one, two, three.

BrikAnd there is the rumble! Light always reaches us before the sound does.

LumiCome here, little Giggles, you are safe with us, beside Brik's own feet.

BrikDon't be scared, Giggles โ€” thunder is only lightning's own big, booming voice.

LumiA hedgehog nearby curls up tight into one small, prickly little ball.

BrikDown among the roots, a frog sings its own croaky song through the rain.

LumiRuby and Mango tuck their bright wings close, safe on a sturdy branch.

BrikNot one raindrop tonight ever needs to frighten a calm, colorful macaw.

LumiListen, the heavy rain is already softening, drop by gentle drop.

BrikThe clouds are thinning fast, and one by one the stars peek through.

LumiLet's build somewhere warm and dry, right where Ruby and Mango can rest.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiA cozy little roost, tucked warm among the baobab's high branches.

BrikWe are calling it The Starlit Baobab Roost.

LumiFrom up here, every sleepy feather glows soft and low under the moonlight.

LumiBlock by block, slowly, and it is already growing taller.

BrikBranch by branch, rising warm against the dark.

BrikMango hops closer, his small wings folded beside the new roost.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Starlit Baobab Roost is finished, glowing quietly under the night sky.

BrikFrom here, we can watch Ruby and Mango resting safe through the night.

LumiAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiBrik counted every sleepy macaw roosting in the baobab tonight.

BrikHow many macaws are roosting in the baobab tonight?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

LumiTwo resting macaws, tucked in quiet. One, two.

BrikTwo bright macaws, glowing soft even in the pale moonlight.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne small lantern, glowing softly beside the little roost.

LumiWe are calling it The First Roost Lantern.

BrikIts warm little glow lights up Ruby's own sleepy face just enough to see.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe First Roost Lantern is ready, one more will glow beside it.

BrikTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every pale white flower blooming low on the baobab tonight.

8:20Why Is the Sky Turning Gold Over the Jungle?

BrikHow many white flowers are blooming on the baobab right now?

LumiHave a think, we will wait for you.

BrikBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikThree white flowers, opening slowly. One, two, three.

LumiThree flowers, and every single one only opens after the sky turns dark.

BrikCan you say content? It means calm and happy, with nothing to worry about.

LumiA roosting macaw is almost always content, snug beside those she loves.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiOne tall, thin tower, built from smooth wood beside the little roost.

BrikWe are calling it The Roost-Light Watch Tower.

LumiClimb up, and you can watch over the tree, calm as a roosting bird.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Roost-Light Watch Tower stands tall, and Lumi waves gently from the top.

LumiOh, Giggles, real feather colors grow from the inside, not smeared from berries.

BrikHe grins at his smudged reflection and happily smears on more berries to try.

LumiThe roost settles back into its calm, quiet dark.

BrikWhat a curious start to our very long day.

LumiIf you like what we built, show us a thumbs up!

BrikCan you say curious? Curious.

LumiLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikOne small bridge, leading toward the edge where the sun will soon rise.

LumiWe are calling it The Dawn Baobab Bridge.

BrikIts planks glow pale gold, leading toward the morning light.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Dawn Baobab Bridge is ready, and Mango stands already at the end.

BrikLook, past the branches, the deep dark sky is starting to change.

LumiIt is turning from deep black to a soft shade of grey.

BrikThe stars are fading, one by one, like candles going out.

LumiWatch closely, the sky is starting to glow soft and warm.

11:40What Is the Feather-Paint Workshop?

BrikA thin golden line is growing wider along the whole horizon.

LumiOne by one, the sleepy macaws stir, ready for a new day.

BrikLook, the sun is climbing higher and the whole world is turning golden.

LumiThe whole tree is waking up in gold, right before our eyes.

BrikGood morning, sleepy roost! The sun is finally, wonderfully, all the way up.

LumiThe very last cool shadow fades, and the leaves turn bright golden green.

BrikCan you say golden? Golden.

LumiNow, in the light of this brand new day, let's solve our whole colorful mystery.

BrikWhy does a happy macaw wear such bright, bold colors every single day?

LumiLet's watch Ruby stretch her wide, colorful wings in the morning sun for the first time.

BrikRuby stretches out wide, and her whole wing flashes red, yellow, and deep blue all at once.

LumiThat bright flash means: good morning, whole tree, a new day has begun!

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne round flower bed, opening its petals in the very first warm light.

BrikWe are calling it The Morning Feather-Bright Flower Bed.

LumiIts petals bloom in bright red, yellow, and deep blue, matching Ruby's own bold feathers.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Morning Feather-Bright Flower Bed is ready, glowing warm in the early light.

LumiCan you say pigment? Pigment is a little bit of color, mixed right into something.

BrikA macaw's own red and yellow feathers are colored by pigment that she makes all by herself.

LumiThe morning breeze carries the smell of leaves and fruit across the jungle.

BrikA flamingo! Can you say flamingo? Flamingo.

LumiHer name is Coral, and she wades closer on her own long, thin legs.

BrikCoral's own soft pink color comes from the tiny shrimp and algae that she eats every day.

BrikGood morning, Coral! Did you know Ruby's own colors come from a different place?

LumiCoral tips her head, curious, and settles down close to listen.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

BrikBrik counted every content macaw gathered near the sunny fruit tree.

LumiHow many macaws are gathered near the fruit tree?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

BrikSix content macaws, resting together. One, two, three, four, five, six.

LumiSix bright macaws, and every single one wears its own bold, unique pattern proudly today.

BrikLet's build somewhere big, right where the whole jungle can see our giant answer.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiA giant, blocky workshop, hung with feathers in every color at once.

16:10Why Is Coral the Flamingo Pink Instead?

BrikWe are calling it The Feather-Paint Workshop.

LumiOne whole wall glows warm red and yellow, painted with a macaw's own natural pigment.

LumiSee how nicely it fits, one block sitting neatly on another.

BrikFeather by feather, and color by color, rising taller with the morning sun.

LumiThe other wall glows deep blue and bright green, though not one single drop of paint ever touched it.

BrikRuby perches right between both walls, her own feathers matching them almost exactly.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Feather-Paint Workshop is finished, and Ruby preens proudly beside it.

BrikCan you say psittacofulvin? That is a special red and yellow color only parrots make.

LumiRuby's own body makes that pigment, painting her red and yellow feathers herself.

BrikBut her blue and green feathers hold no pigment at all inside them.

LumiCan you say structure? Structure means the tiny shape something is built in.

BrikThe tiny structure inside a blue feather bends warm sunlight, just like a rainbow always does.

LumiThat bent light is exactly what our own eyes see as bright, beautiful blue.

LumiAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiBrik counted every bright color glowing across Ruby's own spread wing.

BrikHow many bright colors are glowing on Ruby's wing?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

BrikFour bright colors, glowing boldly. One, two, three, four.

LumiFour colors, and only two of them are true pigment; the rest simply bend the light.

BrikTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik watched Coral the flamingo scoop up tiny shrimp all morning long.

BrikAbout how many tiny shrimp does a flamingo eat to help stay so pink?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikSo many tiny shrimp that nobody could ever count them all in one whole day.

LumiEvery single tiny shrimp adds one more little bit of pink to Coral's own soft feathers.

LumiOh, Giggles, one leaf cannot bend light quite like a whole feather's own tiny structure.

BrikHe grins, dizzy in the grass, and happily keeps wiggling his little rainbow leaf.

LumiThe jungle settles back into its warm, sunny calm.

LumiLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikFour little steps, each one painted a little brighter than the step before.

LumiWe are calling it The Four Color-Brightness Steps.

BrikStep up slowly, from the dullest painted feather to the boldest, brightest one.

BrikWe are not in a hurry, because things made carefully last the longest.

20:40What Is Inside the Baobab Shade Stage?

LumiOne dull step, two a little brighter, three brighter still, then four, boldest of all.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Four Color-Brightness Steps are finished, and Lumi hops up every single one.

LumiCan you say recognize? Recognize means to know exactly who or what something is.

BrikA bright, bold color helps one macaw recognize another, even in a busy, crowded, green jungle.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne small table, set right beside the workshop, holding one bright feather.

BrikWe are calling it The Rainbow-Feather Table.

LumiTurn the feather slowly, and watch its own blue shimmer change color in the light.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Rainbow-Feather Table is ready, and Coral tilts her head, curious too.

BrikThe sun is climbing high above the tree now, warm on every single leaf.

LumiThe sun is high above us, it is exactly noon, time for a little rest.

BrikLet us sit down for a moment and listen to how beautifully quiet it is around us.

LumiLet's rest a moment here in the warm midday sun, listening to the jungle hum softly.

BrikLet's follow the warm midday sun, back to the great, shady baobab.

LumiBack near the baobab, its huge shadow stretches cool across the whole clearing.

BrikLeave a thumbs up if you are enjoying building with us, it helps other children find us.

LumiLook, the whole clearing sparkles in bright, strong midday sunlight.

BrikThis is the best time to shelter beneath one more part of our colorful mystery.

23:20What Is Monkey Bread From a Baobab Tree?

LumiCan you say shelter? Shelter is a safe, dry place to wait out the rain.

LumiLet's build somewhere shady, right where the whole roost can gather together.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

BrikA wide, round stage, built right beneath the baobab's own huge branches.

LumiWe are calling it The Baobab Shade Stage.

BrikFrom here, the whole roost can shelter together safely, whatever the sky decides to do.

LumiA little more and it will be ready, do you like it so far?

LumiPost by post, and beam by beam, curving beneath the great tree's shade.

BrikRuby perches on the new stage, watching a few grey clouds gather far off.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Baobab Shade Stage is finished, just as the first raindrops start to fall.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

BrikLook, out of nowhere, one big dark cloud is rolling in fast over the tree.

LumiThe sky turns heavy, and every animal nearby quietly tucks itself away.

BrikAn elephant shelters beneath the baobab's low branches, ears folded flat and calm.

LumiThere! A bright flash of lightning splits the whole sky over the jungle.

BrikLet's count the seconds together until we hear its own thunder arrive.

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

LumiAbout four whole seconds passed between the flash and its own rumbling thunder.

BrikThe farther away a storm is, the longer we count before the thunder arrives.

LumiCome here, little Giggles, safe and dry right beside Brik's own steady feet.

BrikRuby and Mango tuck close beneath the baobab's own thick, sheltering branches.

LumiThose huge branches truly do look just like roots reaching up into the wide sky.

BrikThe rain drums steady on the leaves, and puddles spread across the clearing.

LumiNot one drop of this whole rain ever needs to frighten a calm, bold macaw.

BrikListen, the heavy rain is already softening, drop by gentle drop.

LumiThe dark clouds are thinning fast, breaking apart in only a few seconds.

BrikLook up โ€” a whole bright rainbow is arching over the great baobab tree!

LumiCan you say rainbow? Rainbow.

BrikGiggles claps his hands, delighted the whole sky turned calm and bright again.

LumiLook, hanging from the highest branches, round fruits sway after the rain.

BrikCan you say monkey bread? That is the baobab's own big, round, dusty fruit.

LumiElephants and monkeys both love to crack open that fruit for its soft, tangy, sweet pulp inside.

BrikAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

BrikBrik counted every round monkey-bread fruit hanging from the baobab's branches.

LumiHow many monkey-bread fruits are hanging from the baobab?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

LumiFive round fruits, hanging quietly. One, two, three, four, five.

BrikFive fruits, and the whole baobab keeps growing more, season after season.

LumiLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiOne spinning pinwheel, right beside the stage, catching every fresh breeze.

BrikWe are calling it The Baobab Breeze Pinwheel.

LumiA cool breeze keeps the whole shady clearing comfortable, even after a warm rain.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Baobab Breeze Pinwheel spins gently, and Coral watches it turn round.

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne small signpost, pointing one way to the roost, one way to the stage.

LumiWe are calling it The Roost-Or-Stage Signpost.

BrikOne arrow points home to the treetop, the other points to the great trunk.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Roost-Or-Stage Signpost is ready, and Lumi reads it out loud, delighted.

BrikCan you say ancient? A baobab tree can live for over a thousand years.

LumiThis whole huge trunk even stores water inside it, like a giant, living jug.

BrikThat is exactly why a baobab survives so well through the driest seasons.

LumiThe whole clearing feels peaceful, bright, and wonderfully unhurried after the rain.

LumiOh, Giggles, even a giant baobab trunk isn't quite roomy enough for you.

BrikHe grins, freshly popped free, and happily pats the great trunk in thanks.

LumiThe clearing settles back into its warm, sunny calm.

LumiThe sun is starting to lean low, painting the whole clearing gold.

BrikLet's follow the low, golden sun back toward the roost and the whole gentle tree.

LumiBack near the roost, the whole sky is turning a deep, glowing orange and pink.

BrikLook, the sunset sky glows the same warm gold as the rainbow-feather table.

LumiCan you say sunset? It is when the sun goes down low in the sky.

BrikCan you say dusk? It is the soft, quiet time just before full dark.

BrikAs the great sun sinks low, the whole roost will soon gather to rest.

LumiLet's watch the sky turn deeper.

BrikIts glow fades slow and gentle.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiOne cozy little shelter, tucked safely beside the tall baobab trunk.

BrikWe are calling it The Little Fledgling Shelter.

LumiInside, soft leaves wait, ready for a tired little fledgling to rest.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Little Fledgling Shelter is ready, and Mango peeks through its window.

LumiMango peeks out from the little shelter, watching the whole sky slowly turn gold.

LumiLet's build one last place, right where the whole roost can rest together tonight.

LumiLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikA wide, welcoming palace, ringed with lanterns in every color at once.

LumiWe are calling it The Rainbow Starlight Aviary.

BrikOne by one, its lanterns glow softly, each one its own different bright color.

BrikBlock by block, slowly, and it is already growing taller.

LumiPerch by perch, and lantern by lantern, slowly filling with today's very last golden light.

BrikMacaws drift closer, drawn to the warm, colorful glow of the whole aviary.

33:50What Is Inside the Rainbow Starlight Aviary?

LumiMango watches every single lantern glow, his own small feathers catching every bright color.

BrikThe aviary glows warmer with every lantern that switches on among the branches.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Rainbow Starlight Aviary is finished, glowing warm under the very first stars.

BrikLook, it is dark again now, just like at the start of our day.

LumiBut this time, we know exactly why a happy macaw wears such bold colors.

BrikHer own bright paint, a rainbow trick of bent light, and a color all her own.

LumiListen to the roost grow quiet.

BrikCan you say gentle? Gentle.

LumiGentle just means soft and careful, like every rest spot in this whole aviary.

BrikNot one macaw in the whole roost ever loses its own family tonight.

BrikTime for a question, think for a moment.

BrikBrik counted every bright star twinkling above the whole glowing aviary.

LumiHow many bright stars are twinkling over the aviary tonight?

LumiHave a think, we will wait for you.

BrikBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

LumiFive bright stars, shining softly. One, two, three, four, five.

BrikFive little stars, watching gently over the whole sleepy roost below.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

LumiBrik counted every glowing orange cloud drifting across the sunset sky.

BrikHow many orange clouds are floating over the baobab?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

LumiFour glowing clouds, drifting slowly. One, two, three, four.

BrikFour soft clouds, glowing orange and pink over the whole quiet jungle.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne small wooden bench, facing straight toward the whole glowing aviary.

BrikWe are calling it The Feather-Watching Bench.

LumiSit here quietly, and watch every bright feather glow soft against the dark sky.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Feather-Watching Bench is ready, and Lumi is already curled up, watching.

LumiBrik pats the little bench gently, proud of the whole long day.

BrikCan you say proud? Proud. We built and learned so much today.

BrikCan you say patient? It means waiting calmly, even when it takes a while.

LumiRuby waited patiently for Mango's own dull, young feathers to turn bright.

BrikMango will grow just as bold a color one day, one gentle day at a time.

LumiBrik nods, admiring how such a simple feather can hold so much clever science.

BrikNot one single macaw in the roost ever rushes its own growing up.

LumiThe whole roost hums soft and warm, ready for one more peaceful night.

LumiOh, Giggles, that blurry rainbow might just be its very own kind of beautiful.

BrikHe grins, proud of his blurry masterpiece, and happily hangs it up to dry.

LumiThe roost glows warm and steady once again.

BrikGive us a thumbs up if you want to see the next episode!

BrikAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiTwo macaws rested near the aviary at sunset, then three more by full dark.

BrikHow many macaws rested altogether tonight?

LumiHave a think, we will wait for you.

BrikWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

LumiTwo and three makes five. One, two, three, four, five.

BrikCan you say altogether? Altogether.

LumiFive resting macaws, and every single one glows soft with color, even in the dark.

BrikThe stars above blink softly, joining the lanterns below.

LumiEvery single macaw tells its own tiny story of today.

BrikCan you say wonderful? It means so good it makes you smile.

LumiWhat a wonderful, colorful day this has been for our whole bright roost.

BrikOne bold flash of color, one brave storm, and every feather glowing warm tonight.

LumiBrik counts today's whole adventure on his fingers, smiling at every part.

BrikLumi glows a little brighter, proud of everything they built.

LumiCoral the flamingo settles down quiet near the water too, resting at last.

BrikSo why does a happy macaw really wear such bright, bold colors? Now you know.

LumiSome colors are her very own paint, made right inside her body.

BrikBlue and green are not paint at all, but a tiny trick of light bending bright.

LumiAnd every bold color helps one macaw find her own family in a busy jungle.

BrikEven Coral's own pink comes from a totally different place: the food that she eats.

BrikThe roost is calm and glowing, and every lantern shines steady through the night.

LumiRuby curls close beside Mango, watching the stars drift by.

BrikMango tucks his small wings warm, calm beneath the starry sky.

LumiCoral rests near the water, her long legs folded still.

BrikThe great baobab stands quiet, its white flowers glowing soft in the dark.

LumiThe whole roost feels safe, warm, and ready for a new night.

42:20Why Are Parrots Really So Colorful? The Whole Answer

LumiEvery macaw found its own warm, steady place to rest tonight.

BrikEven little Coral the flamingo has settled down to rest for the night.

LumiThank you for being with us, it was much nicer together.

BrikSo remember, her own bright paint, a trick of bent light, and a color all her own.

LumiThe roost glows soft and warm one last time, calm under the bright stars.

LumiGiggles waves from far away before he disappears for the night, and the little bells on his cap ring softly.

BrikBye bye! Sleep sweetly, our dear friends.
