Gary the parrot lives a happy life in the Costa Rican rainforest with his wife Annie and two kids. But one day everything changes. During a rainstorm, Gary is kidnapped by poachers and brought to New York City. Alone and scared, Gary finds himself trapped in a cage in one of the poacher's apartments. There he meets pigeons, Leo and Daisy, who agree to help Gary escape. But before they can free him, Gary is taken to a pet shop where his bright feathers and talkative ways become the store's main attraction. Just when all hope of Gary returning home to his family seems lost, Leo and Daisy come to the rescue. With the help of some friendly seagulls, Gary and the rest of the birds trapped in the pet store are freed and fly to their homes. Gary then reunites with his family, and all is well once again.
