Jerry, an awkwardly plump hummingbird, desperately tries to fit in with his siblings. But more often than not, he only weighs them down, literally. After accidentally destroying the family nest, Jerry is exiled to an old dead tree. But when a hungry house cat attempts to eat his siblings, Jerry must be the bird he was born to be in order to save his family.
