As Chris and Alan finish up at Hooper's Store, they greet the viewer and discuss their plans to go bowling. However, their plans are interrupted when Big Bird appears with a fanfare, announcing the "Sesame Street Bird Games." He informs them that they will be the judges. A penguin adviser hands Alan an envelope containing the game's rules and provides them with official judge headgear. Alan wonders why they must participate, and Big Bird explains that non-birds will ensure fair judging. With the arrival of the other contestants (a chicken and a duck), the games begin!

The first event, "The Square-Meal Peck," involves the contestants pecking birdseed into a square shape. The chicken pecks frantically, the duck pecks methodically, and Big Bird quickly devours his plate. When time is up, only the duck has created a perfect square, earning him a point. The second event, "30-Second Egg Lay," requires each bird to lay an egg in thirty seconds. Big Bird and the duck, both male birds, cannot lay eggs, but they must still participate. Unable to complete the task, the chicken wins a point by successfully laying an egg. The third event, "The Rhyming Competition," requires the contestants to find a rhyme for "heard." Big Bird suggests "bird" and earns a point, tying the score. In the tie-breaking event, the birds must perform an interpretive dance expressing their "birdness." The judges declare all three dances impressive and crown them all winners. Chris and Alan leave to go bowling while the birds celebrate their victory by sharing the grand prize – 10 pounds of birdseed.
