3rd & Bird is a British-Emirati television programme aimed at young children, commissioned by Michael Carrington and broadcast on the BBC, which revolves around a community of birds and their adventures. The series premiered on CBeebies in June 2008. Described in its initial press release as "a charming new animated series all about community",[1] the programme format generally involves one or more of the characters encountering a problem which must be solved using the social skills which pre-school children must develop in order to make their way in the world. 3rd & Bird was created by Josh Selig for Little Airplane Productions. The show uses an animation style known as "photo-puppetry", in which the animation is created by the use of manipulation of photographs[2] (similarly to Selig's previous venture Wonder Pets).
