Storks Claudian and Auroa were to deliver a baby sparrow, but its parents having died she convinces him to raise the chick Richard 'Ricky' till fall with their own son Max, which goes great. Then it's time to migrate for hibernation in Africa, but he's too small to keep, so they must leave him behind. Convinced he's a stork, Ricky tries to follow, first alone, then accompanied by schizophrenic owl Oleg alias Olga, who can't manage either. Narcistic caged parakeet KIki convinces them to liberate him as guide to Gibraltar, but he tricks them to San Remo for the pageant. Next the trio finds a way to Africa, where the storks can't cope with a honey badger.
