    Leave it to our great Mike to boldly go where Discovery sends him even if it is to a island with vomiting and pooing birds.
    First I loved this episode for the educational information for the kids and the whole family. And the fact that the island is only allowed to be visited once a year and Mike brought us a glimce into a protected world.
    I was rolling in laughter as the girls gave Mike a hard time about reaching into the nest to get the chicks to count and he was lets said a little afraid. And Mike has his own little camera and his frame work is not that bad in a feathery tight spot.
    Overall classic funny Mike taking us into a great adventure, this is one of the top Dirty Jobs!moreless

    I though this episode was disguisting, yet funny at the same time. Well, what is the difference, every dirty jobs episode has something disgusting, yet a hilarious host. I would never like to work (or study) at place, were birds are everywhere, and like to take a dump on you. Thats just disgusting. I feel bad for some of the researchers who have to work there. Being pooped on, and vomit on is surely, one thing I would never want. Yet of course, no one would want that. Those reseachers are very brave (or really dumb) to go to a place like vomit island. Oh well, im guessing, its a dirty job.moreless

    • In this episode we learn that if you pick up a baby bird (or any kind of young wildlife) it is NOT true that the mother will smell your scent and abandon her young. This is just an old wives' tale. Edit
    • On the closed captions throughout this episode, the word "pooh" was substituted for "poo". Edit
