Rory's school friend, Danny, joins him at Golton Island for Easter. The boys get on well and Danny addresses a new personal challenge. Rory and Danny take a bush walk along the river. They find and rescue an injured galah. Richard knows how to help the bird with masking tape. An old bird cage is cleaned and brought back into use. They name the galah Toot. The boys have some alone time at the water hole when they realise that they are being watched from a distance.
