Hey, don't worry about me,

I'm used to fly solo.

Are we almost there? So, what

you'll be doing in Zambezia?

I was kind of thinking of

joining the Hurricanes.

A country bird with big dreams.

Something like that.

Hey, check this out.

I'm a Hurricane.

I am broken low.

I am broken very, very low.

You know what I like to

do when I'm down? Eat.

Try these little chops here.

Only the ones with the...

Why us?

They have the nerve to call us, bandits.

More than get here.

And now one of them...

Has robbed me of

my only brother.

And now... I am...

Alone in the world.

Not quite alone. I mean, You've

got me, your fourth cousin.

Once removed, that's

something, isn't it?

Death is natural. Budzo.

It's just a part of

the cycle of life.

The last part.

I shouldn't have

been so hard on him.

Where is he? He

couldn't gotten far.

Budzo.

I'm too tired of been

left out in the cold...

Fighting for scraps, while

Zambezia gets fatter.

I like scraps. You

see, sir Budzo...

We are... eh, scavengers. Yes, we, we...

We scavenge.

Right Cecil?

But all the things we

could do together.

You Marabous could

rule the roost.

We're more a duo, actually.

Kind of had it all worked out.

So...

A trio, yes, that's better.

Yes...

Strength in numbers. Synergy.

Think about you have

been denied for so long.

Good food, good nests.

It's time to take that

empire for yourself.

To rule Zambezia. And would

it be a parliamentary system?

A coup d'tat. I rather

like the sound of it.

I'll just take my cut a

small share of the spoils.

After all, how many

eggs can a lizard eat?

Get all the Marabous together.

You tell them. They'll

be working nights.

Nights are not good for me.

Me in charge?

I like to sleep.

Just imagine the possibilities.

The pah, the prestige...

The pudding.

No? Not helping?

He's gone.

Well, well, well. The great Tendai.

How's ending it with this.

Hey, you guys workout or what? Because.

This is so serious cardio bang.

I just should said I didn't spent

chow this morning, you know.

Why not drive next to the stream.

Go.

This is cool.

It is easier to get there, yes?

Oh, Yeah...

Kai, we're here.

That big old tree?

That's Zambezia.

Where is the city?

Talk all you want, country bird.

Hey, beak is hanging open.

Newtie birds come here before the landing.

Coming through.

Babies on board.

Hey, I know her.

Gogo lands. All hands on deck.

Crazy people. Someone

give me a cracker.

Stay close OK, we're going in.

The flock seagull is experiencing a

delay and will be 15 minutes late.

It shall be as good to be back.

It's this way visitors.

The yellow zone is for

pupils and owls only.

For kids. One, two, three. One missing.

We're missing a kid.

Gogo, wait. Sira, Pavi,

thanks for the ride along.

Enjoy the big city. We'll see

you at the Spring celebration.

Careful with my eggs Niegel.

Will you watch where you're going?

This is a no fly zone.

Sorry, sorry. Welcome

in Zambezia.

The fame city of birds. Do you

have anything to declare?

I declare this place is awesome.

Your name, sir?

Kai. Ouch, what are you doing?

It's just a small sample.

It's kind of proceed.

Dodo, up to school

office, will you?

If you need lodging, may

I suggest, Mushana's?

And if you need someone to

show you around. City tours.

Alright, sign me up.

One more question.

You can't have another feather.

No, no, no, no.

What is the length of your stay with us?

I... I don't know.

I just forever. Citizen,

congratulations.

Citizen? You just

pass immigration.

I did it. I am a real Zambezionite.

A Zambezier.

A Zambeziaan.

A Zambo... I'm one of you, guys.

And where would the bandit be?

Over here?

Oh, good, good.

Maybe the caterer should

put the food over here.

Is this where the weaver

birds release the flowers?

Zoe? Zoooeee?

Uh. Sorry. It sounds good.

Which part?

All of it. I say

we go with that.

You weren't listening. Were you?

The Spring celebration is the

same every year, father.

You don't to sweat the details.

It would be great.

Oh, It will be great because

we sweat the details.

Chief Sekhuru, a new citizen.

Thank you, Dodo.

It's just, been a while since

we had a falcon in Zambezia.

I bet he's here for the Hurricanes trials.

They're tomorrow.

You thinking you going out for the squad?

Me a Hurricane?

Who wanna be out there flying around?

I've got way too much to do here.

We've got this all part of your plan, right?

You're probably right.

Besides, I like been

under your wings.

Who's taking care of whom? Sekhuru, Sekhuru,

you'll never guess what I just saw.

Never in a million years.

Guess, guess, I can tell you.

Okay, I'll tell you.

Hello, Zoe.

Don't worry, Gogo, I

was just leaving.

You'll never guess.

Was the Tendai?

What? How did you know? Well

because his son just arrived.

How do you know so much?

You never go anywhere.

Where is he? In the speck

in the middle of nowhere.

Called Kathungu. With his son Kai. But, but...

Kai has followed you here, it seems.

And... Tendai? Do you

think he will come too?

He still angry at

than one, Sekhuru.

I don't think we'll be

seeing him any time soon.

And Kai may be here

looking for some answers.

So, you will tell him?

No, I made a promise.

But if there were any reason

for Tendai to come back...

It would be to come after his son.

We'll wait and hope.

Hey. Do you work here?

How are you? Excuse me, sorry.

A nest for the night? Yes.

You again?

The number 87 is all that's left.

The double-deluxe suite.

I'll take it.

Ok, where is it? Double-deluxe.

Here it is. The big one. Deluxe.

Oh, Yeah. I can

get used to this.

Oh... Hi... OK, I guess

we can divide the...

You too?

All of you? The bed is so...

The whole family? Feathered.

Great. We're all

in this together.

Don't worry. Because

it's the double-deluxe.

Hey look, they've put

a mint on the pillow.

That's not a mint.
