Production notes

3rd & Bird is a pre-school series about a community of birds that live, learn and play in the branches of a beautiful old tree. The vibrant treetop community of 3rd & Bird is alive with singing, whistling and dancing.

In each episode, we follow Samuel Lovebird, with his best friend Rudy and his cute little sister Muffin. Samuel embarks on colorful adventures set to beautiful music. Along the way, Samuel and his friends learn important lessons about diversity, tolerance, perseverance and community.

Created in bold and colorful photo-puppetry animation -- a style of animation created by "Little Airplane."
