Příběh o ztraceném Modrouškovi, který uletěl svému chovateli Františkovi a málem na to doplatil životem, je současně vyprávěním o lesní ptačí říši. Spřátelí se s ostatními ptačími druhy a zažívá s nimi lecjaká dobrodružství.

What he learns sends him on a journey that will remind listeners, young and old, of the importance of accepting our differences and understanding our purpose in life.
