Thu, Apr 20, 196130 mins

Bentley falls for a beauty who is a dedicated naturalist and bird lover who is very close to her bird expert father. In order to win her favor (and impress her father) he pretends (feigns) an interest in her passion for birds. As Bentley spends more time with her, his friends, Cal and Chuck, lament his frequent departures from their regular 'guy' activities such as the weekly poker game. As he becomes more involved with his 'nature' girl Bentley captures the sound a rare bird to impress her, on tape. Discovering the tape Bentley has left in his living room, Cal and Chuck decide to get him back for his lack of attention to them by recording silly comments over the recording Gregg had made of the bird. Unaware of this sleigh of 'hands' from his friends Bentley takes the recording to a bird lovers meeting, where it is played, in front of his gal and her dad and many bird fans, his buddies gags replacing the bird sounds. Embarrassed, Bentley sneaks out the meeting and confronts his friends. They point out that they did this to him in order to wake him up, and that he was getting a bit 'too close' to the nature girl. Saved by the bird sounds his buds hadn't recorded over, Nature Girl forgives Gregg and they once again head to the wilds in search of even more bird calls. Bentley escapes another brush with a serious relationship. Each time he gets close to a woman something happens to break things up. In this episode not one but two of his close 'guy buds' are needed to rescue him from the horrors of a serious relationship. Bentley is denied yet again of a mature, lasting relationship. Once a major plot device, by this stage of the series (season 4) niece Kelly has all but given up efforts to fix her uncle up with a nice lady. In this episode she has only a few lines, and is never even introduced to this new 'love' interest of her uncle. Instead the writers leave it to his 'buds' to intervene and break up the relationship. Kelly either doesn't know or care by this point in the series, and her uncle misses out on yet another chance for her to finally have an aunt.
