The episode "The Whistling Badge" is part of the sixth season of the beloved children's show Hey Duggee. In this fun-filled adventure, Duggee and his Squirrel Club members embark on a quest to earn their Whistling Badges.
The episode begins with Duggee welcoming the enthusiastic squirrels to the clubhouse. He explains that today's activity involves the art of whistling. The Squirrel Club members, including Betty, Happy, Roly, Tag, and Norrie, are excited to explore this new skill.
To kick off their whistling adventure, Duggee leads the Squirrel Club to a meadow where they encounter various kinds of whistling creatures, including birds, insects, and even a friendly snail. Each squirrel is fascinated by the unique sounds made by these creatures, and they start imitating their whistles. Roly tries to mimic a bird's melody, while Tag attempts to recreate the buzzing sound of a dragonfly.
Encouraged by their progress, the Squirrel Club returns to the clubhouse, eager to practice their whistling further. Duggee introduces them to a variety of whistles, ranging from traditional ones to more quirky and amusing ones. Norrie chooses a colorful whistle shaped like a flower, which produces a high-pitched sound, while Betty picks a wooden whistle that emits a mellow tone.
With their individual whistles in hand, the Squirrel Club members head outside to showcase their newly acquired skills. They create a harmonious melody by taking turns to whistle their favorite tunes. This activity not only fosters their creativity but also builds their confidence in using the whistles effectively.
However, their peaceful practice session is abruptly interrupted by a strong gust of wind, which snatches their whistles away and scatters them across the meadow. The squirrels are distraught and worried about how they'll continue their whistling journey without their beloved instruments.
Seeing their disappointment, Duggee assures them that they can learn to whistle even without the whistles. He gathers the squirrels around and teaches them how to whistle using only their mouths. He explains the technique and demonstrates different types of mouth whistling, including the classic loud whistle by pursing the lips and the soft whistle by using the tip of the tongue.
Excited by this new technique, the Squirrel Club practices mouth whistling. Roly, known for his big belly, struggles a bit at first but eventually gets the hang of it. Tag experiments with different mouth shapes to create unique whistling sounds, while Happy discovers that he can whistle while blowing raspberries. Norrie feels a little discouraged at first but finds her own rhythm with Duggee's patient guidance. Betty, with her dexterity, masters mouth whistling effortlessly.
With their newfound mouth whistling skills, the Squirrel Club members set out once again, determined to find their lost whistles. They employ their mouth whistles to communicate with each other, creating a dynamic range of sound patterns. Their whistles echo through the meadow as they search high and low for their missing instruments.
As they explore, the Squirrel Club rediscovers the fascinating world of nature around them. They encounter new creatures, such as a wise owl with a deep hoot, a chirpy grasshopper, and a buzzing bumblebee. Each new encounter inspires the squirrels to imitate the sounds they hear, adding a touch of nature's harmonies to their own whistling melodies.
Finally, after an adventurous search, the Squirrel Club successfully recovers all their lost whistles. They celebrate their achievement by showcasing their impressive whistling skills in a grand performance at the clubhouse. Duggee proudly presents them with their Whistling Badges, and the squirrels join in a joyful chorus of whistles.
