But when the egg hatches, the Birds are in for a big surprise--"Junior" is the oddest-looking baby bird they''ve ever seen--with big, long jaws full of teeth and an appetite to match.

Nevertheless, the devoted Birds run themselves ragged feeding Junior until he gets so big, he must leave the nest or it will collapse underneath him. But how can Junior fly without wings?
