Well, let's have a look.

Yes, he has been shot.

No sign of a female friend

when you found him?

No.

Many people believe

that they mate for life,

so that if they lose a mate,

then that's it.

He's on his own.

Your friend's flying days are over.

He can't fend for himself.

So I think the most humane thing

to do would be to put him down.

Oh...

Or...

...I could bind his wing and we could

try to find him a foster home.

Well, that sounds good.

Someone will need to

look after him in the meantime.

Right.

So, how long?

Couple of days, maybe a week.

Hmm?

Yeah. Alright.

I'll do it. I can do that.

Right, what...

What does he eat?

Well, shelducks usually

graze on seeds and grasses

with the odd worm thrown in.

However, tinned peas will be fine.

Tinned peas?

Mm-hm.

Alright.

Mum, look!

He's strange.

Sorry.

I like your duck.

Thank you.

Have you had him long?

No, I'm just looking after it

for a while.

That was the duck.

Right.

Yeah.

Well, see you later.

'Bye.

It shouldn't take too long.

I should have it all ready to... go!

My God!

Christ on a bike.

I really didn't think

he'd stoop to this.

This is nuts!

Is this...

Ew.

Fine!

If he wants to trash my stuff...

...I'll bloody show him.

Is it true that penguins

mate once a year?

Yeah.

Lucky bastards.

I don't know

what you're laughing at.

When was the last time

you got lucky?

Actually, I'm very happy

being a penguin.

You're not a penguin, Holly.

You're a bloody penguin nun.

Yeah.

Sh*t!

This is all your fault.

Susan?

Hey, Flash. I guess you're not

coming back to work today, huh?

No.

It all sort of got out of hand.

You know, just...

Just trying to

get rid of the duck. So...

I'm just gonna see you tomorrow.

You'll see me tonight, mate.

It's quiz night.

Oh. Yeah.

Of course. Yep.

I'll see you then.

Oh, oh. Hey. Hey,

and bring the duck.

He can't be any worse

than the other two, right?

Sure.

Sure, make yourself at home.

What did that guy

with the duck want?

He found it, wanted to know

what to do with it.

He was quite cute.

Well, he could walk and talk.

Like I said, cute.

This pond still isn't

draining properly.

It needs rooting out, I think.

You should probably...

give it a good seeing-to.

Get... Just get in there

and give it a poking.

I know what you're doing,

and I'm... I'm not...

This isn't.,, I'm not amused.

Really not amused.

- Does it like beer?

- No. No.

No!

Come on!

Focus, you lot.

- It's time to get serious.

- OK!

The category is

'All Creatures Great and Small'.

A group of bees is called... what?

A shoal. A shoal of bees.

No. Don't be stupid.

It's a hive.

Oh, no, no. A hive is where they live.
