Our avian duo Melvin and Barry face a vital, fundamental question: what's best? Comfort or freedom? A life where everything is in beak's reach, or the wild thrill of the open air?

Sparrows Barry and Melvin stuff themselves all day long in a supermarket. Life is sweet and everything so easily gotten! One day, an odd migratory bird arrives, a bit lost. He tells them all about the wonders of the world beyond their walls. At first they mock him, but then once he leaves, Barry and Melvin miss him. They decide to look for him and realize along the way that they don’t want to give up the sun, the wind, and the open skies. After much debate, they choose freedom and nature.
