About this listen
Bam was a small bilby who lived in the scrub country. One day, as he was snuffling around looking for food, Sinbad the Cat jumped out from behind a tree stump. Find out how Bam and his animal friends tricked the wild cat and made him run away from their home.
Bam was a small pink and white bilby. His real name was Bim Bam Bong, but no one knew why. His friends thought that was a silly name, so they just called him Bam. Early one morning Bam was hopping slowly through the bush, looking for roots and insects to eat, when he came across a strange sight.
In a clearing was a fierce-looking bird, handsome but scary. Bam knew it was a falcon. He had been taught that falcons were not bilbies’ friends, but this one was young and looked hurt, so Bam edged carefully closer. The falcon was trying to fly. It jumped from foot to foot, one wing hanging by its side....
