The next day morning Mr Bean drives the car to a forest. He saw a hunter. After that he opens the door of the car and comes out from the car and the witty bird follows Mr Bean. Suddenly Mr Bean gets inside the car before the bird can jump in the car, Mr Bean closes the door of the car. While Mr Bean does that the hunter is shooting 2 rabbits but he can’t hit / shoot them because they are too quick. I think Mr Bean does that because he wants the hunter to chase the witty bird but the bird keeps following Mr Bean so Mr Bean runs into a box near a farm and finds a tarp. He finds some bamboo or maybe wood to make some wings so he can fly to show how could the bird fly, and then when the bird knows Mr Bean is not his father he would fly away and find his family.
