## Plot

While **Frankie**, is playing a game of baseball with the Zhuzhus, they find a bird egg. **Frankie**, decides to get her mom to ask her what she should do with the egg. Her mom says she can keep it if she is able to take care of it properly, she tell her mom if she can do the research, and she agrees if **Frankie** follows it. The next scene shows her with Ellen's instructions on how to take care of the egg.

The first instruction is to keep the egg warm, they decide to use Ellen's hairdryer to keep the egg warm. **Ellen** takes the hairdryer, and says one of them has to mimic the warmth of the mother. **Chunk** volunteers to keep it warm. **Chunk** then, asks **Frankie** for several things, while doing that the egg hatches, and then they try to find out what to feed it. The only things it can eat are cat food and worms, since **Frankie** does not have worms in the house, she feeds it cat food.

**Frankie** then, feeds the **Baby Bird**, cat food, and it eats it. After that, **Frankie** and the Zhuzhus try to go to sleep though the **Baby Bird** keeps them up all night with it's chirping. **Frankie** upset that she can't sleep, the yucky food she has to feed it, and the constant chirping it makes, wants to not take care of it anymore. **Ellen** says, she has to take care of it until it flies.

She decides to speed up the process of it learning how to fly, if she and the ZhuZhus teach it. **Chunk** decides to teach it by singing a song about flying. It does not pay attention and **Chunk**, who is upset gives up. **Pipsqueak** then, finds another way to teach it by having her the other Zhuzhus and **Frankie** pretend to be a pack of birds, it does not work and try to find a different way. **Frankie** then, tells her mom she made a mistake, and caring for it is way harder than she thought,**Ellen** tells her learning to fly takes time.

**Frankie** then, has another idea to help it fly and has it parachute out of a plane that **Mr. Squiggles** flies with **Pipsqueak**. He then, flies the plane and has **Pipsqueak** jump out of the plane with the bird when he counts to three. He counts to three and **Pipsqueak** jumps out with the bird. Meanwhile, **Chunk** is trying to find his hot dogs and can not find it, he figures out he is holding Pipsqueak's parachute. **Pipsqueak** unaware that she got Chunk's bag jumps out of the plane and begins pretending to fly, when she tries to use the parachute hot dogs fall out instead of her parachute she angrily screams Chunk's name. She tries to stay calm and tells the **Baby Bird** that they will be fine, **Chunk** then, starts to sing the song he sang earlier to help the bird fly. **Frankie** and the other Zhuzhus follow along and the **Baby Bird** begins to fly. It escapes from Pipsqueak's parachute, in the process leaving her alone to fall, **Mr. Squiggles** then, flies his plane over to her to try to rescue her. He is able to get to her before she falls and lands safely in the plane. **Frankie** and the Zhuszhus then, celebrate that they where able to teach the **Baby Bird** how to fly and they watch it fly away.
