Synopsis[]

A bird wants to befriend Mr. Bean, but its squawking sound annoys Mrs Wicket, so he decides to leave the bird out of his room but it is stubborn. Mr. Bean tries to decoy the bird to leave the room but it discovers it. When Mrs Wicket accosts Mr. Bean for the second time, the bird finally leaves. When another, small bird wants to befriend Mr. Bean, he refuses.

Plot[]

Mr. Bean comes back home with his groceries. He opens a bag of crisps and one crisp falls to the ground. A curious seagull eats it. Mrs. Wicket leaves her house and shoos the seagull. In Bean's room, he is eating a bowl of Pop cereal when the same seagull knocks on his window. Bean opens the window and lets the seagull in. He gives the seagull Teddy's cereal and the bird flies away again. Later, Bean is watching Super Spy and the seagull knocks on his window again. So Bean opens the window and feeds it popcorn. Bean turns the TV off and the seagull opens the TV to a baking channel. Bean turns the TV off but the seagull turns it on again; they both repeat their previous actions. So Bean puts a popcorn on the table and covers it with the bowl and he puts a salt and a knife above it and under the bowl. Bean presses the knife and the bowl opens only for the bird to eat the popcorn instantly. Bean tells it to wait and puts a new popcorn under the bowl and tells the bird to do what he did earlier. So the bird knocks the knife up and releasing the bowl; the seagull eats the popcorn.

Wicket arrives home and she hears them. Bean tells the seagull to go to the books but the seagull squawks loudly, making Wicket hear it from downstairs. Bean serves fish and chips to the seagull but he forgot the sauce so he gets the ketchup from the fridge. The bird finished its food and it wants to eat Bean's food but Bean won't let it because it's his. To make it leave him alone, Bean throws a piece of chip to the floor to which the bird eats it. The seagull squawks again and Bean shushes it. Wicket hears it from downstairs. Bean prevents the bird from stealing his food just as Wicket yells Bean's name. Realizing that Wicket's going to his room, Bean is forced to give his fish and chips to the seagull. Bean changes the channels while Wicket is going upstairs. When Wicket enters Bean's room, Bean has turned the channel to a documentary about seagulls. Wicket thinks that the noises are coming from a TV not a real bird so she tells Bean to keep it down and leaves.

That night, Bean goes to bed and the seagull tries to remove his blanket but Bean stops it. So the bird flies to Bean's bed, forcing Bean off the bed, and sleeps there. The next day, Bean is sleeping on his chair when the seagull approaches him then it goes to his kitchen. Bean wakes up when he hears crashing noises from his kitchen; he sees his kitchen is a big mess. Bean goes to the kitchen and sees everything from the fridge is on the floor because of the seagull. Furious, Bean tells the bird to get out but it won't listen. So Bean comes up with a plan; he pours Pop cereal by the window and opens it. But the seagull won't listen because it knows Bean is trying to let it out. Bean hears Scrapper screeching at a bird and scares it away, then goes to sleep. He goes outside, holding a case of cat food. Scrapper wakes up and hisses at Bean which Bean can definitely use against the stubborn seagull. So Bean puts a trail of cat food going to his room to lure Scrapper and scare the bird away. When Scrapper reaches Bean's room, Bean tells him to look at the seagull, expecting Scrapper to scare the bird away. Unfortunately for Bean, the seagull scares Scrapper instead and he flees form the bird. Bean closes his door but the seagull returns before he can fully close it, annoying him.

Bean comes up with another idea. He makes a female seagull puppet and climbs via a ladder to his window. Bean throws the puppet away and the gull follows it. The gull realizes it was a fake. Bean returns to his room only to see the seagull has returned there and it's squawking loudly again. Wicket arrives home and hears the squawking noises again. Bean tries to shush the gull while Wicket is going to his room. She enters Bean's room and sees the bird so she opens the window and tells it to leave. The bird goes to Bean just as Wicket tells it to leave again, which it does. Bean thanks Wicket for removing the bird. Later, Bean gets Teddy from the floor, apologizing to Teddy for throwing him there. A small blue bird knocks on Bean's window but Bean doesn't let it in and closes his curtains, annoying it.

Trivia[]

  • This episode is similar to the episodes No Pets and Egg & Bean.
    • It's also similar to Magpie, as both episodes star a bird that wants to befriend Mr. Bean, but only ends up in bad things (in Magpie's case, the bird steals shiny items like gold and make it seem that Mr. Bean is the one who stole them, and in this episode, Mrs. Wicket gets annoyed by the bird's noise).
  • When Bean is quickly switching channels, several channels from previous episodes appear:
