Mongrels

Nelson discovers the harsh reality of interspecies dating after falling in love with a chicken. Marion gets himself adopted after his previous owner dies - but ends up getting neutered in the process. Contemptuous pigeon Kali implicates DJ Toby Anstis in one of her evil schemes, and pedigree bitch Destiny bites her owner so she can attend dog obedience classes and get closer to Rivers, the rule-breaking rebel dog she met outside the adult education centre.

When Vince has a litter of fox cubs and eats them all except the runt, Nelson is thrilled to become an uncle. Destiny is disappointed to discover the identity of her potential soul-mate, while Kali is reunited with an old partner-in-crime. Puppet comedy at it’s finest.

Destiny thinks that guiding is fun and Marion falls for the attractive but underage Lollipop. When Nelson hears that Destiny loves Springwatch he discovers that the animals are actors and decides to audition, while Kali reveals that she used to nest in Amy Winehouse's hair.

Nelson realises that he's the only one in the gang who has never been stroked by a human. He visits a petting zoo, where he quickly discovers that getting a stroke isn't always a pleasant experience. Marion courageously saves a child from drowning, but Destiny dupes him out of his chance to win an Animal of Courage award by taking all the credit for his bravery.

Urban fox Nelson's effete French pen friend Christian arrives for a visit, and starts behaving uncharacteristically badly - exhibiting mood swings and frothing at the mouth. Yes, it seems Christian has rabies. When pigeon Kali is caught up in a nasty pigeon cull, she resolves to take over the world and take revenge on humankind by creating the pigeox - half pigeon, half fox.

Urban fox Nelson goes to the garbage dump to save his tomcat friend Marion and falls for disgusting vixen Sandra who is in heat. Afghan hound Destiny persuades her owner Gary to enter her into the local dog show, at last.
