## Summary

The episode begins with Nudnik waking up in a dirt pile as the wind blows it away at the city dump. He dusts himself off and lets the wind blow the dirt out of him, but being the Nudnik he is, it all comes right back to him. He goes to put on his bandana just to discover a bird had landed on his head in the wind. The bird falls asleep on Nudnik's head and he finds this very sweet, and patiently sits down on a tree stump to let the bird rest on his head. However, after a few seconds the bird immediately starts chirping and flies away, and Nudnik discovers the bird had laid an egg on his head. Suddenly, Nudnik begins to get hungry, but resists the urge to eat the freshly laid egg. Nudnik suddenly hears the mama bird in the distance returning with a worm, so he puts on his bandana and sits on the egg acting inconspicuous. Unable to find the egg, the bird decides to feed Nudnik the worm instead, and despite it being utterly sour and gross, he swallows it anyway. Nudnik gets up to see if he broke the egg like he thought, but to his surprise the egg stayed perfectly intact, so he rushes it to give to the mama bird only to find that her eggs are of a different color and she wouldn't accept the egg, so Nudnik figures by this point it wouldn't hurt to have the egg as a meal He grabs a frying pan out of his pants and puts it on the tree stump, and attempts to crack the egg, but nothing comes out, so he looks to see if anything's in it only to have it fall into his eyes, so he wipes it away with his bandana.

He then notices the mama bird is having trouble keeping all her babies warm in the wind, so this gives him the pleasant idea to build them a bird house. He starts by digging through the dump and finds a box and a large wooden pole to start. He sticks the pole into a puddle but falls face first into the puddle and gets his scarf stuck, and as he gets unstuck the pole flies forward. In attempt to catch the pole, Nudnik ends up running too far and the pole lands in the rear of his pants, bounces backward and lands perfectly into the puddle. Nudnik sees that he can't reach the top of the pole to put the box on top, so he grabs an oil barrel to stand on, but using this only leads to the pole falling over, so Nudnik returns the barrel and grabs a bag of cement. He nails the box into the pole with a rock and props it back up into the puddle. He opens the cement bag to pour into the puddle, but the wind only blows in against the tree, so Nudnik scrapes some of it back into the bag, with the pole falling on his head as he does this.

He goes to stick the pole into the puddle again and makes sure his scarf is out of the way, but this proves ineffective, as he ends up getting his pants caught instead, and being unable to pull it out of the ground, he has to climb up to pole to free himself. When he gets to the top, the pole ends up bending over towards the birds, which gives him a chance to point at the birdhouse he's making for them, but he falls down and decides to scrape up more cement. Nudnik doesn't notice the puddle behind him as he walks backwards with the heavy bag of cement and falls in, with the bag of cement falling over and pouring in afterward. Nudnik gets out and introduces the birds to their lovely new home, but suddenly becomes a stiff cement statue, so the birds pluck out his hairs and use them for their new home, with their old nest falling on Nudnik's now cement bald head, and as the wind shuts the door of their new birdhouse, the episode ends with a leaf comically falling onto Nudnik's pants, and Nudnik spending the night as a cement statue.
