Who's ready to play?

Nature Cat: I said, who's ready to play?

Nature Cat: Hellooooooo!

Anyone want to play?

Anyone?

Squeeks: Sorry man, can't play now... Hal: Too busy watching our favorite rescue hero, baby!

Daisy/Hal/Squeeks: Racer the Rescue Raccoon!

Racer: What-ho!

Look!

It's a squirrel.

And she's caught in netting!

That's not good!

But, don't worry!

It's Racer to the Rescue!

Remember, only an expert like me can do this!

Now, it's important to be as quiet as possible.

If I scare this squirrel, she might react and hurt herself even more.

Racer: I just need to cut the netting... ...And good-golly-hello-dolly, the squirrel is free!

Racer: The squirrel does not appear to be injured in any way, so she won't need my help at the Animal Center to get better!

Racer: There she goes!

Back to the wild, where she belongs!

Another successful rescue!

All: Hooray!

Racer: And remember, if you ever see a wild animal that needs help, call an expert like a grown up, or me, Racer the Rescue Raccoon!

See you next time on... All: Racer to the Rescue!

Nature Cat: Racer the Rescue Raccoon is remarkable!

Squeeks: (Gasps) Oh!

I love him!

Daisy: Me too!

Nature Cat: Which leaves me to be the hurt wild animal!

Squeeks: Oh.

You're a...cow?

Nature Cat: Yes I am!

I mean, moooooo!

Daisy: Okay, well, why do you need rescuing, Cow?

Nature Cat: This!

Moooo!

Nature Cat: Moooo!

Mooooo!

I say, Mooo!

Hal: Rescue Crew!

Look!

It's a cow stuck in a tree!

Hal/Daisy/Squeeks: Wild Animal Rescue Crew to the rescue!

Nature Cat: Mooo!

Onward and rescue-animals-ward!

Daisy: STOP!

Nature Cat: What's wrong Daisy?

Daisy: Pretending to rescue animals is one thing, but if we find a real injured wild animal we need to know exactly what to do.

Daisy: That's why we need Racer the Rescue Raccoon's Official Rescue Checklist!

Hal: That's a mouthful... What does it say?

Daisy: Okay!

Number 1, Observe the wild animal from a safe distance.

Number 2, Decide if the animal really needs help or will it be okay on its own.

Number 3, if the animal needs help, call an expert.

Nature Cat: All right, friends, now that we know what to do, let's go save some wild animals!

Ahem!

Uh take two!

Onward and rescue-animals-ward!

Nature Cat: What-ho!

Check out that little fawn?

Squeeks: You guys, I don't think she needs rescuing.

Nature Cat: Then why is she sitting under that bush and not moving?

Daisy: It says here that fawns stay hidden when their mothers go out looking for food.

Hal: Oh look!

The fawn's okay!!

All: Yay!

Nature Cat: Ha ha ha!

Nature Cat: What-ho!

That little cardinal sure is fluttering its wings a lot!

Hal: Wait, it sounds like it's crying.

Is it crying?

Daisy: Oh, wait, look!

It's doesn't need rescuing at all.

It was just learning to fly!

All: Hooray!

(Squealing) Squeeks: What ho!

What was that?

Hal: Now that sounds like an animal crying!

Daisy: We'd better check it out!

Nature Cat: Onward and Yonward!

(Fox squealing)) Squeeks: That little baby fox, it's laying on its side!

What's wrong?

Nature Cat: And it's trying to get up, but it can't!

Hal: And crying!

Oh why is it crying?

Daisy: Man oh man!

Looks like it has a cut on its front paw.

Nature Cat: That fox is definitely injured!

Hal: Don't worry, little fox, I'm coming to help you!

Daisy: Whoa whoa, Hal, you never approach an injured wild animal.

Remember?

Hal: Oh right!

But what do we do?

Nature Cat: Let's look at the checklist!

Daisy: It says...

If the animal is injured call an expert!

Nature Cat: But who should we call!

Hal: Only the greatest animal rescuer in the whole wide world... Hal/Daisy/Squeeks: ...Racer the Rescue Raccoon!

Nature Cat: We can really call him?

Nature Cat: I guess we just did!

Racer: Did somebody call for a rescue raccoon?

Hal: Oh!

We did, Mr. Racer, sir.

We found a little fox!

Squeeks: And she has a cut on her paw!

Racer: That animal is injured!

Yes sirree, Bobby.

Hal: No, I'm not Bobby, wait well I guess I kind of am, look it's me, Hal!

Wink!

Wink!

Racer: Well, Hal, you did the right thing by calling me.

That fox kit has a cut on his paw and may need our help.

You know what that means?

Hal: Yes!

RACER TO THE.... Racer: Shhh, when you're near an injured wild animal, you want to keep your voice quiet.

Hal: Oh, okay in that case... (whispers) Racer to the Rescue!

Nature Cat: So, what say you, Racer?

Racer: Well, sir, we need to move that poor, injured fox someplace safe, so we can help her get better.

Nature Cat: And how, pray-tell, do we move her?

Racer: We just need something to carry her in!

Squeeks: Ooh!

I have something we can use!

Squeeks: My cheese-of-the-month club delivery carton.

July was an imported Swiss!

Racer: Ooooo!

It comes with its own breathing holes!

Perfectamundo!

Squeeks: Look he's so quiet when he moves toward her.

Hal: Great Job, Racer!

NC/Daisy/Squeeks: Hal shhhhh!

Hal: (whispers) Oh sorry.

That was very loud.

Nature Cat: What's wrong?

What do we do?

Racer: This poor fox kit's scared, and doesn't know what's going on.

It doesn't know we want to help.

Daisy: Oh!

I have something that might help!

Daisy: My flower blanky!

I've had it since I was a baby!

It always makes me feel so comfy and cozy!

Hmmm!

Racer: That's great, Daisy!

Squeeks: Oh yeah, good thinking, Dais!

Racer: Thanks to all of you, this fox is rescued!

Good-golly-hello-dolly!

Racer: Now, I'd better take her back to the rehabilitation center to treat her injury.

Gang: But wait!

Hal: Will she be okay?

What's going to happen?

Is she going to get better?

Racer: Why don't you rescuers come visit her in a few days and see how's she's doing?

Daisy: Oh Yeah!

Oh Yeah!

Hal: Great!

Nature Cat: We'll do it!

Squeeks: See you soon, little foxy!

Nature Cat: How's the little fox doing, Racer?

Racer: The wound on her paw is healing nicely.

Each day seems to be a little better.

And in a few more days we can release her.

Daisy: Oh, Why?

Squeeks: She looks sad!

Hal: Oh no!

Maybe she needs a friend!

Don't worry, little fox, you and I can be best pals!

Let's go play!

Racer: That's nice of you, Hal!

But it's important that wild animals don't get too used to being around us, because they have to go back out in the wild someday.

Nature Cat: I know something that may cheer her up!

♪ Daisy: Oh yeah!

It's certainly relaxing!

Racer: (Gasps) I think the little fox likes your music!

Keep playing, Nature Cat!

(soft guitar strumming) ♪ ♪ ♪ Racer: Well, that's it, gang!

The fox is rescued and rehabilitated so it's time to let her back out in the wild.

Nature Cat: Wait!

Maybe, just maybe, could we keep her?

Squeeks: As a pet?

Hal: Oh she is really so so so cute!

Racer: I'm afraid not, gang!

You see, this little fox is a wild animal and where do wild animals belong?

All: In the wild?

Racer: In the wild!

Nature Cat: Oh we understand, Racer the Rescue Raccoon.

All: Bye little fox!

Good luck, little fox!

Stay safe!

Send a postcard please.

We'll never forget you!

Hello!

Voice: Hello!

Hal: Is it you, grass saying "hello"?

Hi grass!

Hello grass!

Hi!

Is that you?

Voice: Nature Cat?

Daisy?

Is that you?

Sheesh, this is crazy!

Daisy: Oh!

It's my phone!

Hehhehheh!

I musta accidentally pocket dialed someone... Daisy: Oh!

It's Sadie!

Hi, Sadie!

Whoa, what happened?

!

Hal: Noooooo!

Sadie, you got coned!

Sadie: Yeah, hey guys.

I hurt my left paw and I was licking it like crazy.

So the vet put the cone on.

Can't do anything but sit in the apartment until it comes off in 4 weeks.

Crazy right?

Nature Cat: Oh!

That's just horrible!

Squeeks: Ugh!

What a bummer, Sade.

Especially with summer just getting started.

Ugh!

This stinks!

Sadie: A total bummer, Squeeks!

Before I got hurt, I was getting super interested in bugs and birds!

So I'd go out in the nature playground and watch them!

Hal: Who doesn't love bugs and birds!

?

I know I do.

Sadie: Yeah, but that's how I got injured.

I saw a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird.

I ran over to look, I lost my balance, and ka-pow, hurt my paw.

Sadie: Now I'm out on my balcony, trying to bug and bird watch with my binoculars and it's not so easy.

Sir Galahad: Told you!

Daisy/NC/Hal: Sir Galahad?

Squeeks: Sir Galahad.

Bonjour.

Sir Galahad: Unfortunately I have neither the time nor energy for such pleasantries.

I am extremely busy, with my hamster wheel.

Muaha ha ha!

Sadie: Yeah well.

He's never much help!

Sadie: I just wish there were more places in the city to see bugs and birds.

Especially a closer place so I could get a better look while my paw heals .

Sadie: I'll never see a hummingbird from up here, even with my binoculars .

(Alarm) Sadie: Oh!

Well, it's time for my afternoon nap.

Vet's orders!

Ha!

Crazy right?

See ya, guys!

Gang: Bye, Sadie!

Have a good nap!

Hal: Be safe!

Send a postcard!

Squeeks: How's she gonna sleep with that thing?

Daisy: Man-oh-man.

I feel bad for Sadie.

Nature Cat: Me too!

I wish Sadie was feeling better so she could go out into nature and see all the birds and bugs that she wants.

Hal: Yeah, too bad we can't, you know, like bring nature to her, you know while she's healing.

Daisy: That's it, Hal!

You're a g--!

- Hal: --genius!

Yes, yes, yes genius, so true.

So very very very true... but one minor question from this genius.

Why am I a genius again?

I forget.

Daisy: Bring nature to Sadie!

Bring the bugs and the birds to her balcony!

Maybe we can actually do that?

!

Nature Cat: Hm...we were able to make her a nature playground last year.

Maybe there's something we can do and surprise her while she naps!

Daisy: So sweet!

But to do this, we'll need Sir Galahad's help to let us into the apartment.

Squeeks: Aha!

Yeah!

Good luck with that, Dais!

Sir Galahad: You again?

Daisy: Yes, Galahad, we're calling for a favor.

Sir Galahad: I doubt I am willing to be of much assistance .

Daisy: Come on, Galahad!

Will you let us in while Sadie's taking a nap?

We need help figuring out a way to bring bugs and birds to her, but don't have much time.

Sir Galahad: Uh!

Okay, I'll take a brief hiatus from my workout to open the door and let you in.

But as far as me helping you beyond that, impossible.

Squeeks: Thank you, Sir Galahad, for your incredible generosity.

Ugh.

Okay guys!

We're good to go!

Nature Cat: Whatever happens, we will not let Sadie down.

Onward and cityward!

(upbeat music) ♪ (Knock knock) Sir Galahad: Oh, come in, if you must.

Squeeks: Oh we must, Galahad.

We must!

Sadie: (Snoring) Sir Galahad: Good luck... You shall need it!

Nature Cat: Hmm...Sadie's right, you really can't see much from up here.

So just to recap for ourselves and our viewers, how can we get bugs and birds like the ones on the playground to come up here to Sadie's balcony?

Hal: Nature Cat, I have just the idea.

Nature Cat: I love your confidence, Hal my pal!

What are you thinking?

Hal: A Bugs and Birds balcony party !

(Whistle) Hal: (Trumpet noise) Welcome all bugs and birds!

Hal: Come on!

It's a party for you!

(Whistle) Why aren't the bugs and birds coming over?

It's their party!

♪ Daisy: You guys, Sadie will be waking up from her nap soon.

What can we do?

Nature Cat: Why won't those animals come here?

Deep Voice: If you build it, they will come!

Nature Cat: If we build what, Squeeks, who will come?

Squeeks: Nature Cat, I didn't say that!

Man, that didn't even sound like me!

Deep Voice: If you build it, they will come!

Daisy: Who said that?

Hal: I have absolutely no idea!

Nature Cat: What should we build, and who will come?

What does this mysterious voice mean?

Squeeks: Beats me, man.

Daisy: Hm...If we build it, they will come ?

Daisy: Maybe the voice is on to something.

If we build a nice place here on the balcony for birds and bugs, maybe they'll come.

Squeeks: Yes yes!

The Voice is right!

Even though it is a little weird, but I dunno, I'll go with it.

Nature Cat: Well, How do we build this place?

Daisy: We gotta make it a place where a living thing can visit.

It should have all the things it needs, like food, water, shelter, space.

Nature Cat: Yes, yes.

We should build a nice place where birds and bugs can get food and rest!

Right here on this balcony!

A place where Sadie can enjoy so much glorious nature!

Squeeks: Hmm, I dunno, Nature Cat.

Not so much space here on the balcony.

I'm not seeing it, man.

Daisy: But this is for smaller critters, we should be able to do it.

Look!

Daisy: Guys don't you remember the butterfly garden?

We just needed to make sure we had all the things butterflies needed to survive there.

Squeeks: I'm sorry, I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but we did all that in a backyard.

This is a balcony.

It's different.

Nature Cat: This might be hard, but I just know it's possible For Sadie!

To the store!

Tally ho!

Nature Cat: I hear bye proclaim to all bugs and birds, this balcony is ready for you!

Daisy: Man-oh-man.

Now what?!

Deep Voice: If you build it, they will come!

Nature Cat: Uh.

We already did that!

We built a nice place for animals to get food and rest.

So why aren't they coming?

Deep Voice: Oh, right, my bad!

Hal: Whoa, where'd that come from?

Squeeks: What is it?

Nature Cat: It's Sadie's Nature Notebook!

With Sadie's notes about the bugs and birds she's seen in the neighborhood.

Squeeks: (Gasps) Look at all this!

Butterflies, ladybugs, honeybees, bumblebees, moths.

Wow!

And chickadees, wrens and ruby-throated hummingbirds.

Ruby-throated hummingbirds!

Daisy: Hey yeah, Sadie's notebook can tell us what kinds of animals to attract since they are already in the neighborhood!

Nature Cat: But how?!

Deep Voice: Ahem.

Turn the page.

Hal: Ooo!

That mysterious voice sure is helpful!

Squeeks: Check it out!

Sadie's notes show where in the neighborhood she saw these bugs and birds.

Hal: Oh!

She saw a honeybee on a flower that was on a strawberry plant!

Oh!

And a wren eating a bug...

Nature Cat: Now we know what critters we should focus on, the food they eat, and the places they take shelter.

Daisy: Guys, maybe to attract local birds and bugs, we should put plants out here that grow in this neighborhood.

Squeeks: But can you even grow plants on a balcony?

Will rain reach the plants?

Will they get enough sun?

And what about the wind?

Ah!

So many questions!

Nature Cat: Good points, Squeeks.

Let's do a quick "balcony okay for growing plants" check!

Nature Cat: Woah!

Nature Cat: It can get windy.

That must be why the other plants fell down !

Daisy: Then we'll need sturdy plants in heavier pots so they don't get blown over by the wind.

Squeeks: We're gonna need water for the plants and the animals.

Bue we can't just wait for it to rain?

Daisy: Copy that!

So we need hardy plants that don't need to be watered all the time.

Nature Cat: Hmm, not a lot of tall buildings around to shade the balcony... Daisy: Good observation, Nature Cat.

So sunlight is not a problem.

Looks like we should be able to grow plants here!

Nature Cat: Let's also hang a couple of plants that have vines to create shelter in the corners.

And maybe if we put the flowering current over there, a bird might build a nest next spring!

Daisy: I think we're in pretty sweet shape now.

Nature Cat: It's time to build our habitat.

Tally ho!

(upbeat music) ♪ Nature Cat: I must say, this looks amazing!

Hal: Sure does, Nature Cat, it looks all naturey and habitaty and all at the same time!
