A Stork's Journey

Richard is a sparrow raised by storks who believes he is one of them. When it is time for the annual migration to Africa, his family reveals his true species and leaves him behind, fearing he cannot survive the long flight. Determined to prove he has the spirit of a stork, Richard begins his own journey south. Along the way, he teams up with an eccentric owl named Olga, who has an imaginary friend, and a disco-singing parakeet named Kiki. Together, the trio travels across Europe using various means of transport to reach their destination.
