Hey Blackbird, City Bird!
In Hey Blackbird, City Bird!, Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers search for a bird that has adapted to life in the city — the blackbird!

This video is excerpted from BBC's Ranger Hamza’s Eco Quest, a nature exploration show in which Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers go on quests to discover nature’s wonders and the important role they play in our environment.
