Il Picchio

Two little birds are rescued and adopted by an oak tree that raises them with great and loving care. Unfortunately, Mother Oak is attacked by a swarm of parasites and falls sick. A wise, old female turtle that lives in the ocean then tells the little birds where to find a medicine that will heal Mother Oak. The remedy is the extract of a flower that can only be found on the peak of a tall, snow-capped mountain. The birds set out for the mountain, but along the way, are caught in severe storm causing them to be separated from each other. One of the birds continues to climb the mountain, but when the other one finds itself alone, it gives up. In the meantime, Dr. Woodpecker tries unsuccessfully to treat Mother Oak, but when the two little birds don't come back, the doctor decides to go look for the miraculous flower himself. On the mountain peak, the doctor finds one of the two little birds with the extract that will heal the oak tree. Mother Oak recovers, and the little bird that gave up then apologizes to his mother and brother for giving in too hastily.

This series is largely composed of segmented episodes hosted by a bear, and each of these features one or more creatures. One can learn about a creature's life and habits during a question-and-answer session at the end of each episode. This brief educational section covers the featured topic and answers typical questions, such as "Where does an animal live?", "What does it eat?", "What are its enemies?" and "How is its relationship with human beings?"

Locations featured vary from sea, land, and sky... and the creatures in question include many kinds of fish, mammals, insects and birds. On occasion, a featured animal is presented with its own name, while at other times, creatures are presented according to only their species.

Towards the end of the series, multi-segmented stories are presented with human characters in supporting roles. These episodes allow the host to introduce fantastic, imaginary animals, such as the winged horse and the dragon, and also to share information about their prominent roles in mythology. The moral of the series is that because certain animals were looked upon as gods and immortalized in the mythologies of ancient history, we should, therefore, learn to pay better attention to the animal kingdom of today, so as to improve our understanding of the world in which we dwell.
