Episode 1285 Air Date: March 23, 1973
At Bob Trow's workshop, Mr. Trow is building a bird house for a "troglodytes aedon" -- a wren. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, King Friday XIII has a new pet -- a wooden bird on a stick he has named "Troglodytes Aedon." Lady Aberlin, who has been caring for Purple Panda, has lost track of her friend and is searching for him throughout Make-Believe. Paul and Pauline Purple briefly appear and inform her that Purple Panda has done a "sixteen" which means he cannot return to Planet Purple. Back at the house, Mister Rogers sings I Like To Be Told. He concludes for the day by making his own pet bird on a stick. NotesThe writing on the chopsticks says "happiness / wealth / long life / comfort / health." Mr. McFeely cannot stay to watch the film about chopsticks. He must return home where he and Mrs. McFeely will be grooming Brambles -- the horse seen on Episode 1283. Appearing In This Episode
