@@erykjanik1879 I'm not entirely sure, if you just email them saying you're Eryk (they have a list of the winners) then they'll ask for certain details and arrange everything. Make sure to check with your parents if you're under 18! :)

[@harryhope05]

Hey Chris, (the bear was at 4:44) great video I’d heard the story of Winnie the bear in WW1 but had no idea that she was what caused Christopher Robin to rename Edward (I always got confused about that opening). I’ve had the entire Winnie the Pooh collection for years and now I understand. Also I love London zoo so I’m happy that this was the place of the video. I tried the parakeet thing in Kensington gardens btw but I only managed to see a few flying but none would come down.

[@HalfAsleepChris]

That's super cool - I didn't know there were any in Kensington Gardens! I found it best to use an apple (and take the first bite yourself, since they find it hard to bite through the skin). St James' Park is divided by a lake, and there's a bridge that runs through the middle of it. The best spot is the path at the end of the bridge, on the Mall side of the lake - that's where they usually hang out and where I filmed the video :)
