- Hoobledoop tiddlypeeps,

I'm Hubba Hubba

talking to you from Hoobland.

And I'm about to send

four of my favorite Hoobs

down to earth to find

out all about you

for my great Hoobapedia.

Here they come!

(whistling)

- Come on little tweeter.

Come on then where are you?

(screeching)

Breakfast time, come

and have some hooby bun.

Oh come on little tweeter.

(screeches)

(clumsy trumpet)

- Hooby buns.

Four hooby buns,

five hooby buns.

- Do you have a message

for Auntie Hatty

before I sent her

this email Groove.

- Oh yes Tula, ask her why

there are only five hooby

buns in the hooba fridge.

I'm sure there were

six here earlier.

- Well I don't think

Auntie Hatty will have

the answer to that Groove.

Perhaps you ate

one accidentally.

- I most certainly did not.

- Well, it must be

around here somewhere.

- Yes but where.

♪ Where, where, where ♪

♪ Where ♪

- I've no idea where.

- Hoobledoop Iver.

- Uh, hoobledoop.

- I'm sending an

email to Auntie Hatty.

Do you want to say anything?

- Hm, no.

- Why not?

- Because I'm really upset.

- Iver, is that a plate

of hooby bun crumbs.

You've had the

missing hooby bun.

- Well is wasn't for me Groove.

It was for my

little bird tweeter.

He's been up on the roof

garden every day for ages

and today he's just not there.

I took some hooby

bun out for him,

just like I always do.

I made the sound he makes.

(screeches)

I even called, little tweeter.

But he didn't come.

- Oh I'm really sorry Iver.

- I think my little

tweeter must have...

(sniffs)

flown away.

- Well at least I know where

the missing hooby bun is gone.

- That is not the point Groove.

The question is, where has

Iverús little tweeter gone?

- [Announcer] Hubba

Hubba Hubba Hubba.

- Oh Tula, that is the question.

(bubbling)

- Where has Iver's

little tweeter gone?

Now Hoobs everywhere

will want to know

the answer to that.

- Oh, do you really

think so Hubba Hubba?

- Oh abso-hooby-lutely Iver.

Other Hoobs might have a

special bird that's flown away.

I'll email Roma

right now and ask her

to get bird watching for you.

I don't like to see

you unhappy Iver.

- Neither do I.

- No, neither do I.

In fact, I'm going to

put some hooby goop

on a hooby bun

'specially for you Iver.

- And I'll see if

I can find anything

about birds here on Hoob Net.

Perhaps it will help if

we know what sort of bird

your little tweeter is.

(spacey gurlges)

Ah ha!

(spacey gurlges)

Oh there what's this?

This is a sparrow Hoobs.

Isn't that pretty?

That's a pelican.

There's a thrush.

And a hummingbird.

There's an eagle.

And an owl, look

at that, woohoo.

And ducks, gulls,

those are parrots, Hoobs.

And look at all those geese.

Oh look, and there's

a swallow, how lovely.

- [Tula] Tweeter!

- Hooby galooby, I've got it!

- What do you mean?

- Hey?

- I know what sort of

bird my little tweeter is.

- What?

- What?

♪ What, what, what ♪

♪ What ♪

- A swallow, that's what.

Oh he soars up in

the sky going...

(screeches)

He's a swallow.

- A swallow!

- A swallow!

- Oh I miss him so much.

If only I could get him back.

(Iver sighs)

- Maybe he doesn't understand

the name little tweeter.

Maybe if I call him

by his real name

than he'll come.

- Yeah, oh do you

want your hooby bun.

- I am going to draw a picture

of Iver's swallow Groove.

To cheer him up.

- Little swallow?

(sad rock music)

Little swallow?

Come and get your hooby

bun crumbs little swallow.

Come on!

(screeches)

(Iver sighs)

(Tula hums)

- There, have I got the

swallow's tail right Groove?

- Oh yes, Tula it was a

long tail, just like that.

So it can soar high in the sky.

(screeches)

- He's here!

He's here, he's come back!

My little tweeter's come back!

- He has?

- Yes I just heard him,

he's in here somewhere.

- All right, let's have

a look around then.

Um, no he's not in

the hooba fridge.

- Hold it right there you two.

Groove what does Iver's

little tweeter sound like.

- Um...

(screeches)

- Exactly right Groove, perfect.

(Groove giggles)

- Oh, Iver I am really sorry,

but you didn't hear your

little tweeter down here.

- Hm, oh I did.

- No, no, no, no.

You heard Groove pretending

to be your little tweeter.

- Oh yes, I...

Oh no!

- Aw, I'm sorry Iver.

I'll goop you up another bun.

- [Announcer] Hubba

Hubba Hubba Hubba.

(spacey gurgles)

- Hoobledoop Hoobs!

- Hoobledoop Hubba Hubba.

Have you found out where

my swallow could be?

- No I'm still

working on it Iver.

I'm waiting to hear from Roma.

But meanwhile I thought that

a visit to the tiddlypeeps

might be helpful.

- Oh yes, yes, I'll go and

visit some tiddlypeeps.

- Groove why don't you drive.

- Me, I'm about to hooby

goop up a hooby bun.

(Tula sighs)

- Well you can do that later.

I need to send Auntie

Hatty her email.

- Oh all right.

- Seatbelts?

(Groove groans)

- [Together] We're off

to see the tiddlypeeps.

- Hoobledoop tiddlypeeps

- Hoobledoop Iver.

- Hoobledoop Iver.

- Want to do a hooby hello?

- Yes!

- Yes!

- [All] Hoobledoop,

hoobledoop, woop, woop, woop.

(Groove giggles)

- What are your names?

- I'm Kai, and this is Bradley.

- Well pleased to meet

you, Kai and Bradley.

Hm, now, I wonder

if you can help me?

- What do you need to know Iver?

- I'm trying to find

out about birds.

Do you know anything

about birds, Kai.

- Well, there's a robin

that comes and sits

in our garden and sings.

- It sings!

- And there are sparrows

sitting on our roof every day!

- Sparrows, Bradley!

Sitting on your roof!

And, all these birds...

Um, are they around

all the time?

- That's right every day!

- And some of them sing.

And some of them

sit on the roof.

- And some of them build nests.

- So they're always around,

and they're always

doing something.

Hooby galooby, maybe my bird's

doing one of those things.

- Your bird Iver?

- Yes, there's a little

bird that's been visiting me

for ages, but he

hasn't come today.

Maybe he's busy doing one

of those other things.

- He might be Iver.

- Thank you so much tiddlypeeps.

I'm going straight

back to the hoobmobile

to look for him.

Hoobletoodledo!

- Hoobletoodledo!

- Hoobletoodledo!

(rock music)

- Hooby bun with

hooby goop Tula?

- Not right now Groove.

- Oh okay.

- So, Iver's little tweeter

could be building a nest.

And too busy to eat hooby buns.

- What?

Imagine being too busy

to eat hooby buns, hah.

- Hooby galooby, birds

are such busy creatures.

My little tweeter could

be doing anything.

- He could be doing

anything Iver.

But the question is, where?

♪ Where ♪

♪ Where, where, where ♪

♪ Where ♪

♪ Where, where, where ♪

♪ Where, where, where, where ♪

- I don't know where.

Oh hooby bother.

(sad music)

- Do you want a bit of bun Iver.

- Oh no thank you

Groove, I'm too upset

to eat hooby buns.

- Hah, imagine being too

upset to eat hooby buns.

- Listen Iver, if

we could work out

what your little

tweeter is doing

then maybe we can work

out where he's doing it.

- [Announcer] Hubba

Hubba Hubba Hubba.

- Ah, perhaps Hubba

Hubba will have an idea.

(spacey bubbling)

- Hubba Hubba, we know that

my little tweeter is a swallow

and the tiddlypeeps

told me about

all sorts of things that

little birds get up to.

Do you know what

my swallow's doing?

- No sorry Iver.

I don't know what

your swallow's doing!

I have found a very

interesting bird story

on Hoob Net, take a look.

(zaps)

(birds cawing)

- [Narrator] Once upon a time,

there was a mother duck

who laid five lovely duck eggs.

She sat on her eggs

and kept them warm.

(drips)

One day, the eggs

started to cr*ck.

(humming)

Out popped one little duckling,

two little ducklings.

- [Iver] Hello little one.

- [Narrator] Three

little ducklings.

Four little ducklings,

and a very strange

ugly little duckling.

- You don't look at

all like a duckling.

- [Narrator] Quacked

the mommy duck.

As the ducklings grew up,

they sprouted pale

yellow feathers

and looked very pretty.

All of them, except

the ugly duckling.

- [Ducklings] You don't

look as pretty as we do.

- [Narrator] Cheeped

the other ducklings.

The ugly duckling

waddled off to the pond

and looked at himself

in the still waters.

- I'm such an ugly duckling!

- [Narrator] And he

ran into the bushes

where he hid all winter long.

One warm spring morning,

the ugly duckling

decided he'd go for a swim.

He swam across the pond

and bumped into the

four little ducklings

who'd grown into four fat ducks.

(ducks gasp)

- [Narrator] They gasped

when they saw him.

- [Ducklings] You're not a duck.

You're a swan!

- [Narrator] The ugly duckling

looked at his reflection

in the water.

- I'm not an ugly duck!

I'm a beautiful swan!

- [Narrator] And proudly

flapping his powerful wings,

he flew off to find some

other beautiful swans

to live with.

(ducks gasp)

(spacey bubbles)

- Hm, well it's a

hooby groovy story.

But I'm not sure it

helped us to find out

what your little

tweeter's doing Iver.

- Or where he's doing it.

- Ha!

- Iver, what's the matter now?

- Maybe my swallow's

turned into a swan!

- What?

- How can a swallow

turn into a swan?

- It happened to the ugly

duckling in the story.

It could happen to my swallow!

(Iver gasps)

I've got to go visit some

swans and make swallow noises.

- Why, what good will that do?

- Because, if my

swallow's a swan,

he'll recognize me going...

(screeches)

And come back to the

hooby roof garden

where he belongs, yes, yes, yes.

(Iver chuckles)

- He's lost it.

- [Announcer] Roma,

Roma, Roma, Roma.

- Ah, there's Roma.

- Oh, Iver, Iver.

Before you go looking for swans

to see if any of them

were once swallows,

just come back, listen

to what Roma has to say.

(spacey bubbling)

- Hoobledoop Hoobs.

(indistinct chattering)

- Swans!

Roma you've found some swans.

- I certainly have Iver.

- Please, could you find

out if any of those swans

was once a swallow.

- I beg your pardon Iver?

- I think my swallow might

have turned into a swan, Roma.

Please, could you make an...

(screeching)

noise, to see if any

of the swans reply.

- Well I could Iver.

But it might make

me look a bit silly.

(Groove giggles)

- Oh please try, Roma.

(screeches)

- All right, all right Iver.

Anything to cheer you up.

(Tula giggles)

- Here goes.

- [Iver] Yes!

(Roma whisper screeches)

- [Iver] No!

(Iver screeches loudly)

- No I don't think your swallow

has turned into a swan Iver.

I do know that baby

signets turn into swans.

There are some, see?

Do they look anything

like your swallow?

- No.

- I didn't think so, sorry.

- Oh hooby bother.

- I can tell you something

hoobaciously interesting

about swans though Hoobs.

- What's that Roma?

- Well they're all

just about to fly away!

You see, when it gets cold,

some swans fly off

to a warmer country.

And then, when it

gets warm again here,

they all come back home.

How hoobaciously clever is that?

- Are you sure they'll

come back Roma?

- Oh yes, they always come back.

Now I'm going to give

them a really good tea

to set them up for

their long journey.

This is Roma hoob, by a

lake, with some bread.

Hoobledoodledo!

- [All] Hoobledoodledo!

(Tula sighs)

- Iver, cheer up, don't you see.

- Don't I see what?

- Roma's swans are

leaving, and she's not sad.

Because she knows they'll

come back again next year.

- Hooby glooby, isn't

Roma the lucky one.

(Groove munches)

- Maybe other birds leave

ane come back like swans do.

- Groove, what did you just say?

- Maybe other birds leave

and come back like swans do?

- Oh how can I find out?

How?

♪ How, how, how ♪

♪ How, how, how, how ♪

♪ How, how ♪

- [Announcer] Hubba

Hubba Hubba Hubba.

It's easy to find out how Iver.

- Ask the tiddlypeeps!

- Ask the tiddlypeeps!

- Oh yes, well,

it's worth a try.

If anyone knows, the

tiddlypeeps will!

- Come on Iver, I'll drive.

- Oh yes, yes.

- Yeah, and I'll goop

you up another hooby bun.

- Thank you!

- Hoobledoop Iver.

- What are your names?

- I'm Mia, and that's Rachel.

- Oh hello Mia, and Rachel.

Um, I wonder if you can help.

- Are you okay Iver?

You don't seem very happy.

(Tula and Groove sigh)

- Oh Mia, I'm worried

about my little bird.

- Maybe we can help Iver.

What do you need to know?

- Well you know how birds

fly away when it gets cold,

but come back again later?

- Some birds fly

away, that's right.

- And some stay all year round.

- What about swallows?

Do you know what they do?

- Yes, swallows fly

away when it turns cold.

- Oh they do go.

But, um, do swallows come back?

- Yes Iver, swallows come

back as soon as the weather

gets warm again.

(Tula and Groove laugh)

So your little bird's

a swallow Iver?

- Yes, yes he is.

And that means he'll come back!

Oh that's hoobacious!

I don't need to worry

about him anymore.

- No Iver, he'll

definitely come back!

- Oh tiddlypeeps, that's

the best news I could hear!

Tula, Groove...

- [Groove] Yes?

- Did you hear?

- [Groove] Oh yes, Iver.

- [Tula] Oh, yes.

- My little tweeter

will come back.

(Iver laughs)

- I'm glad we could help Iver.

- Oh you have tiddlypeeps.

Thank you so much.

I'd better get back

to the hoobmobile now.

I'll see you again soon.

Hoobletoodledo!

- Hoobletoodledo!

- Hoobletoodledo!

(happy music)

- Hooby galooby, my little

bird will come back.

- Yeah, hoob hoob hooray.

- Those little birds the

tiddlypeeps talked about,

sparrows and robins, they're

not the kind of birds

who fly away when it gets cold.

But my swallow is.

Oh how hoobacious.

Hubba Hubba Hubba.

- Well Hoobs, are you

ready with your Hoob News

for my great Hoobapedia.

- [All] We're ready Hubba Hubba.

- Then take it away.

(intense music)

- Hoobledoop woop, to

all you Hoobs out there.

Welcome to Hoob News.

The news show for

Hoobs everywhere.

I'm Iver.

- I'm Tula.

- And I'm Groove.

- And today we've been

asking the question...

- Where has Iver's

little tweeter gone?

- [Groove] Hubba Hubba showed

you some pictures of birds

on Hoob Net, and we discovered

that Iver's little tweeter

was a swallow.

- [Iver] Yes, so uh,

I tried calling to him

using his proper name.

But he still didn't come home.

- [Groove] So Iver went

to see some tiddlypeeps

and they told him that

robins and sparrows

were always in their garden

doing all sorts of things.

- So I thought that my swallow

might be busy building a nest,

or sitting on a

window sill somewhere.

But we still didn't know where.

- [Tula] Hubba Hubba

found us a story

about an ugly duckling

who turned into a swan.

- Iver thought that his swallow

may have turned into a swan.

- [Tula] But Roma told

us that little signets

turn into swans.

- [Iver] She also said

that swans fly away

during the cold weather,

and come back again

when it's warmer.

- And this made Iver

wonder, whether his swallow

was doing just that.

- [Iver] So I went to

ask the tiddlypeeps.

And they told me that

swallows always fly away

in cold weather, but...

- They always come back!

- So you will see your

little tweeter again, Iver.

- Yes, Hubba Hubba.

- Hoob hoob hooray.

So it's thanks once

again to Iver, Tula,

Groove, and Roma, for

giving Hoobs everywhere

a little peep into

the world of peeps.

And remember, wherever you are,

have a nice day

and hoobletoodledo!

- [All] Hoobletoodledo!

- Right, could I have that

hooby bun now please Groove?

- What, where are you

going with it, Iver?

- Well, up onto the

roof garden of course.

- The swallow's not back yet.

- Oh I know, I'm

going to see if I can

make friends with

another bird until

my swallow gets back.

- What kind of bird?

- Well one that doesn't go away.
