Richard the Stork

Even though everybody else thinks he's a sparrow – Richard himself holds tight to the conviction that he is in fact a stork.

Orphaned at birth and raised by a stork family, the teenage sparrow Richard believes he is one of them. But when the time comes to reveal his true identity and migrate to Africa without him, Richard boldly chases after them to prove that he is a stork after all. Together with his newfound pals, Olga, an oversized pygmy owl with an imaginary friend, and Kiki, a narcissistic, disco-singing parakeet with a fear of heights, the oddball trio journeys south on planes, trains and automobiles, past vicious bats, online pigeons, mafia crows and a deadly honey badger. Before the tiniest stork can reach his goal, however, he must first learn to see himself as a great sparrow.
