Hello! Sorry! That's better! Good morning everyone and welcome to our Animal Architecture

Neighborhood Tour. Today I shall lead you through a curated, diverse animal neighborhood. This tour will focus on the animal art of home building.

Animal Homes take many forms, mests, boroughs, dens, webs, hives, homes, caves and hollows.

Come on, Mindy! Where are you? 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 1, come on, come on, big up, big up!

Mindy, where are you? The tour is about to start.

I reach my voice now. Sorry I can't get to the phone right now. If you'll see me a message, I'll be sure to get back to you in 2-3 months.

What? BEEP! Mindy, where are you? The neighborhood tour is about to start. I don't see you anywhere.

Aren't you supposed to be coming here with me? What? What? Mindy, take your hands off my eyes. I can't see anything.

Oh, sorry! Dennis? Dennis, what do you? Don't worry Mindy. That small group of amateur architecture enthusiasts will stop us.

Oh yeah, good idea. Uh oh. Oh look, it's Guy Ross. Hi, Guy. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you.

Oh, didn't work. Are we stopped? Oh, oh. Oh.

Hey, did we miss it? What? What? What was that? What do you mean? What do I mean? Dennis just came barreling down that hill on a pair of roller blades with you one is back.

Oh, right. Yeah, about that. So I was running late for our tour and I asked Dennis for his roller blades and he said hop on.

No, what I said was I'd rather skate 20 miles with a dolphin on my back than give you my blades. And you said I've always wanted to be a dolphin and jumped on my back.

To make up tomorrow. Okay, is that everyone? No more last minute rivals. We're all here now. Sorry.

Excellent. Let's begin the tour. Whether it's a nest, a barrel, or a den. There's no place like home. Our first stop is a beautiful structure built by the Australian bow bird.

Now, well, I'm glad you made it, Mindy. I've been looking forward to this tour for weeks. Me too. I'm hoping I can get a couple of ideas for my newest expansion of my gingerbread mansion.

Expansion? Yeah, I'm building an Olympic-sized ball pit in the bathroom arcade. Uh-huh. And I'm here against my will. Of course. Oh, I think we're the first stop.

There are many reasons for an animal to roll up their sleeves and build their own domicile. Wamp, shelter, and boosting the local economy by hiring neighborhood contractors.

Huh? But perhaps one of the strongest reasons of all is love. Love. That's right. Love. It happens all over the animal kingdom. But nobody builds a home to impress quite like our feathered friend, the bow bird.
