A small bird narrates his own life, from his first days in an orchard nest to a winter spent in the South, meeting cousins, a party-going parrot, careless boys and the egrets whose nesting grounds are raided for plumes. Each episode carries a plain lesson: that wild birds are neighbours to be protected, not targets or hat trimmings.
