Mayberry R.F.D. S02E26 - The Mynah Bird

Goober tells Sam that Howard is looking for someone to take care of his myna bird Macbeth. Howard is going to Raleigh for an ornithology symposium. Mike volunteers and Howard agrees. Howard brings the bird to Sam's house and gives Mike a set of instructions. Later, Mike's friend Harold comes by and takes Macbeth out of its cage. When Mike tells Harold to put it back, the bird flies out of an open window. The boys go looking for the bird with no luck. Harold suggests that they buy another bird and teach it to talk. The boys bring the bird back home. Aunt Bee finds out what happened to MacBeth and the boys beg her to not say anything just yet. At the convention, Howard is approached by a man (Bill Erwin) whose friend emcees a Mt. Pilot kids TV show. The man thinks Howard and MacBeth would be perfect for the show. The boys and even Aunt Bee work with the bird, but are getting nowhere. Meanwhile, MacBeth flies to Goober's gas station. Aunt Bee is about to tell Sam the truth when Mike wants to talk to her. Mike tells her Goober has MacBeth and the two go to get the bird. After they leave, Howard shows up and tells Sam he going on TV with the bird. Sam gives Howard the imposter bird. When Sam finds out Howard has the wrong bird, he, Mike and Aunt Bee race to Mt. Pilot. On the show the Ringmaster (Iggie Wolfington) introduces Howard and MacBeth. The bird won't talk and the kids are getting restless. Sam arrives at the show, MacBeth flies to Howard and starts talking, saving Howard from more embarrassment. William 'Billy' Benedict as Pet Shop Owner.
