Birds balance on bars, push each other in carts, swing around on swings Man on stage with Seal. They appear to be friends although the man makes Bobby do all different kinds of tricks. Most of them involve a beach ball balanced on his nose. He also balances a stick on his nose as he climbs up and down a ladder. Bobby also claps his flippers against a platform. Bobby plays the saxophone (“How Dry I Am”) Bobby dances the Rumba while wearing sombrero and shall. Next, curtains open up to reveal many people sitting in a park-like set. Several DOGs come onto stage and do flips over one another one at a time. A man holds up a hoop and the DOGs jump though. The man then takes all four hula hoops and rotates them around different parts of his body. He then lines DOGs up on their haunches as one DOG jumps over them. Man does somersaults with DOGs. The Bird act from earlier comes back on. Birds do different tricks with hoops and swings and such.
