“3rd & Bird!” is a 26 x 30 animation series from Little Airplane Productions. The deal sees BBC Worldwide take on cross-media rights including global program distribution, merchandising, and DVD.

The series was created by Josh Selig, who also created “The Wonder Pets!,” and will use Little Airplane’s signature “photo-puppetry animation.” Each episode is filled with music and songs and features Samuel Lovebird, an adorable young bird who is learning all about his family, his community and his friends. It will debut on CBeebies in autumn 2008.
