==Synopsis==
Simba is trying to sleep when his best friend, Nala, approaches and tells him she's found something funny. Simba tags along with her, and Nala shows Simba a mother bird on a rock trying to teach her young chicks how to fly. One of the chicks tries to hide from their mother, but the mother bird finds her chick, which makes Nala laugh.
Soon, the chick starts messing with Simba and lands on his nose. Simba warns the young bird that he is a lion, but the chick bites his nose. Simba gets frustrated and starts chasing the bird until he hurts himself by hitting his paw on a rock. When Simba returns to Nala, she tells him that he should pick on someone his own size.
Later, Simba is resting near a tree until the same bird comes by and bites Simba's right ear. Simba goes after the bird again, but Nala tells him to leave the bird alone and that the bird just wants to be friends with him. Simba dismisses Nala's idea, arguing that the bird wants to make enemies. Simba tries to pounce the bird but instead lands inside a tree trunk. The tree trunk breaks apart, and the little bird returns. The little bird chirps at Simba, and Nala translates that the bird is sorry. 
Later, Simba and Nala are at a river until the bird comes by and splashes water on Simba. The cub retaliates by going after the bird once more. Simba angrily runs after the bird, and the bird bites his tail. Nala explains that the bird just wants to have fun. After chasing the bird some more, Simba falls into a deep hole, where he gets stuck. Simba asks for the bird's help, and the bird tweets at Nala to find help so Simba can get out of the hole.
Nala understands what the bird is trying to communicate to her and finds Mufasa. Mufasa jumps into the deep hole and helps Simba out of the hole. Once to safety, Simba thanks the bird for their help. The bird returns to bite Simba on the nose while he is trying to sleep, but Simba realizes the bird is just being playful.
