Synopsis

As Bing and Bong stroll along on the Tiny Planet of Nature, they encounter a family of Mini Flockers sitting on their nests, and watch as the Mini Flocker chicks hatch. Further along in their stroll, they encounter a family of regular-sized Flockers, and also watch as the regular-size Flocker chicks hatch. When they encounter a giant Flocker egg at the top of a hill, Bing quickly figures out that there must be a giant Flocker parent close by. Sure enough, the parent returns just as the giant Flocker chick is hatched, and Bing and Bong tiptoe away, unnoticed.
