Dopo molti tentativi andati a vuoto, Bug riesce a spronarlo mettendolo inaspettatamente alla guida dello stormo in procinto di migrare verso l’Africa. All’inizio Yellowbird non sa affrontare i pericoli del viaggio e sembra smarrito ma, a poco a poco, trova dentro di sé il coraggio e la sicurezza del leader.
