Narrator- Today Nick and Sally are going to a bird exhibit to see different birds.  They also are meeting up with a bird expert to give them facts.

 

(kids walk to bird expert)

Bird Expert – Hi kids.  We have five birds to show you.  The first one is a robin.

Nick – I love robins!  Let’s go now.

Sally – What are the other birds?

Bird Expert – We have bluejays, golden finches, cardinals and trumpetier swans.

Nick – I want to see the robins!

Bird Expert – Sally, do you think we should go to the robins first for Nick?

Sally – OK, but I get to pick the next bird.

Narrator – Sally, Nick and the Bird Expert walk to the robin room.  In there, they see a red and brown bird.  Next to it, there is a piece of cardboard with writing on it.

Nick – What’s that say?

Bird Expert – That’s information about the robin.  It says….
