Claws is not like the other birds of the Rootfoot forest. While his talented brothers' sing and fly all day like all the other birds, Claws stays home. The reason is that he has a terrible singing voice, and his flying abilities are no better as he slams and crashes into everything in his path. One day he decides to leave the nest and go on an adventure in search of someone that can teach him to sing and fly like all the other birds. In Claws' search for his talent he finds a best friend that cheerfully joins him in his adventure, and encounters many interesting characters such as a frog that gives singing lessons, a cricket that directs an orchestra at night, and a butterfly-looking moth that gives them hope. Their adventure soon leads them into a dangerous situation with the biggest spider of the forest. Will the two young friends make it home safe from their adventure together, and will Claws find his talent along the way?
