Poor Amos! He hired a tick bird to eat the bugs off his back so he could be like all the other hippos. ThereA's just one problem. Kumba, his tick bird, takes it a bit too literally when Amos tells her to make herself at home. Now Amos has to walk around with a birdA's nest on his head, and he doesnA't like it one bit! To make matters worse, all of the other animals are making fun of him. WhatA's a hippo to do?
When Amos the Hippo hires a tick bird to eat the bugs off his back, he gets a bird like no other when it soon sets up a nest, lays three eggs, and entertains guests at a baby shower--all in full view of the other hippos!
