Follow the story of a bird who loves reading and video games, but struggles to fit in with the cool crowd. Eventually, he meets a flock of birds just like him and discovers that there are far more nerdy birdies than cool birdies in the sky. This heartwarming tale reminds us that it's okay to be different and that true friends will accept us for who we are.
