About the Show
Nestled in a tree, an egg is tenderly kept warm, until a charming baby bird emerges. A forest fairy feeds and nurtures the baby bird, and together, they set off on a voyage of growth and discovery — learning to fly, feeling the sunshine and the rain, meeting butterflies, and tasting berries! The audience learns alongside them about the changing seasons, the life cycle of a bird, and the profound experience of being a caregiver.
Live music and interactive play help bring this heartwarming story to life. Join the baby bird in discovering the joy of being together and caring for someone you love!
