Bob, Susan and Luis fawn over Bob's new canary, Fairbanks, making Big Bird jealous. They remind Big Bird of the things he can do because he's a big bird, like counting to 5, saying the alphabet, and rollerskating. Big Bird reflects on this, singing "He's Smaller Than Me", agreeing that it might be fun having another bird around when he's asked to teach the canary the alphabet and numbers. Muppets Ernie wants to borrow Herbert Birdsfoot's vacuum cleaner, but he worries about how Herbert will respond. Maybe Herbert's taking a bath, and he'll be so angry at Ernie for interrupting him that he'll tell everyone to never loan Ernie anything ever again.
