THE AVIARY - script
Various birds live and build their nests in the neighbourhood (general twitter of birds and the accompanying sounds of forest), they are: swallows, sparrows, crows, eagles and some cockoo. They built their nests and fell asleep in them for night.
Here comes the music ( 5-6 min). It must be illustrative, using the sounds of birds (exactly these that act in the scene) and the children must get clear sound signs to know what to do.
1/ It's dawn. All the birds are sleeping in their nests. The cockoo gets up first. She is flying around the clearing, then she's waking up all the birds with her 'cockoo' flying from nest to nest. The birds are looking aroung curiously. They're stretching wings and waving them joyfully. The cockoo is flying and showing off her acrobations.
2/ All the swallows leave their nest one by one to see the cockoo show. They do some circles and eights around the clearing and try to hunt for flies.
3/ Suddenly, crows arrive at the clearing with loud croaking and chase away the swallows which come back to the nest terrified. The crows make a lot of noise, tread proudly waving their wings, frightening birds sitting in the nests (sparrows, swallows).
4/ Suddenly, there comes a great noise. The eagle leaves its nest for help and chase away the crows. It is flying high in the sky like a guard.
5/ Then, the sparrows fly from the nest. They fly and sit looking for grains. Every sparrow in its own rhythm. It takes a while. The eagle returns to its nest. The sparrows still fly and sit, fly and sit...
6/ The swallows fly from the nest again and fly between the sparrows. They finally sit on a tree branch one next to another. The sparrows come back to their nest.
7/ Then the storks enter the clearing. It's already noon, the sun shines strongly, the frogs chuckle in the pond. The storks chase away the sparrows which fly away to their nest and the storks are looking for frogs for a while. Water splash in the pond, the frogs run away. The storks come back to their nest.
8/ Then a BIRD OF PARADISE arrives attracting all the birds. They fly away one by one in the way characterictic for them: the cockoo, sparrows, crows, swallows, storks. Thy gather together. Then they rise all elements of nests props veiling all the birds.
9/ The GREAT CHANGE comes next. A wizard - the Bird of Paradise changes all the birds into paper ones. Children take paper birds on the sticks and animate them flying worried, at first in the middle of the huge nest, then cross its borders and fly in all directions. The Bird of Paradise waits for a moment waving its great wings and fly away!!
THE END!!!
