Recap[]
The episode begins with Wubbzy saying that it's the perfect day to fly a kite. But he needed scissors to untangle all the kite string. When Wubbzy returns to the kite with scissors in his hand, he was surprised to see that all the kite string disappeared. Wubbzy decides to play with his train set instead. But he needed to get his train conductor hat. When he returns with his train conductor hat on, he is surprised to see that his train set has disappeared too.
Wubbzy thinks that someone is taking all of his stuff. So he decides to get to the bottom of it. He leaves out a purple crayon and hides behind the kitchen drawers to see who takes it. Then, Birdy Bird comes in. Wubbzy hopes that Birdy Bird doesn't scare the robber away. Birdy Bird checks to make sure no one is looking. Then, she picks up the crayon and flies away with it. Wubbzy realizes that Birdy Bird is the robber, and decides to prevent her from stealing more things.
Then, Wubbzy hears the doorbell ring, and goes to answer the door. But when he opens the door, no one is there. While Wubbzy wasn't looking, Birdy Bird sneaks into his house unnoticed. When Wubbzy goes back inside, he sees Birdy Bird fly out of his house carrying a blanket. Wubbzy chases after Birdy Bird, and then she suddenly vanishes. As Wubbzy searches for Birdy Bird, he hears a tweaking noise. He discovers that Birdy Bird is pulling on his washing line. Wubbzy tries to stop Birdy Bird, but it was too late. Birdy Bird pulls the washing line free, and all the clothes that were hanging on the fishing line fall on Wubbzy. He says that he's going to need some help stopping that bird.
Wubbzy goes to Widget's house and tells Widget that he doesn't want to do anything to hurt Birdy Bird, but he can't have Birdy Bird take all of his things. Fortunately, Widget knows the best way to stop Birdy Bird. She invents The Super Scarecrow 3000. guaranteed to prevent Birdy Bird from stealing Wubbzy's things. As soon as Widget's brings The Super Scarecrow 3000 to Wubbzy's house, him and Widget hide behind a tree and wait for Birdy Bird to show up. Birdy Bird does show up, and lands on the scarecrow's hat. Widget activates the scarecrow, and it scares Birdy Bird, only for the bird to steal the scarecrow's hat.
Wubbzy and Widget were surprised when they saw Birdy Bird do that, and think that The Super Scarecrow 3000 isn't scary enough. But while they were standing there, Birdy Bird lands on Widget's remote control and switches the scarecrow on. This time, it scares Wubbzy and Widget so bad that they run away screaming. They bump into Walden, who is exiting the library, carrying a stack of books. Wubbzy and Widget tell him everything that is going on. Walden has a plan on how he can help. At Walden's house, he explains to Wubbzy and Widget that he speaks fluent bird.
When Birdy Bird comes down from the tree to the bird feeder, Walden asks Birdy Bird about Wubbzy's things. Walden says that Birdy Bird needed Wubbzy's kite string for a very good reason, as well as the scarecrow's straw hat, train tracks, and the necktie, which happens to be Walden's necktie. Birdy Bird quickly snatches Walden's necktie, and the trio chase Birdy Bird. Birdy Bird then leaves Walden's necktie in at the top of a tree. Wubbzy is sure that he things are up there too, but he doesn't know how to get them down.
Fortunately, Widget just happens to have the Instant Ladder 3000. The ladder is a very small ladder, but when water is added, the ladder will grow 70 feet. After Widget puts a drop of water onto the Instant Ladder 3000, the ladder grows 70 feet, just like she said. Wubbzy, Walden and Widget climb up the ladder to get to the top of the tree. Wubbzy finds his kite string and train tracks, and Walden sees his necktie. Widget says that they've been used to make a giant bird nest. When Wubbzy looks into the nest, he sees birdie eggs. When Birdy Bird goes to her nest, Wubbzy apologizes to Birdy Bird for barging in on her, but points out that she did have a good reasons to take Wubbzy and Walden's things. Birdy Bird then hushes Wubbzy, because the eggs are hatching. Out of the eggs come five baby birds.
Wubbzy and Walden praise Birdy Bird, and after that, Wubbzy thinks that it's time for him, Walden and Widget to go. Widget says that they will need to climb down the tree before the ladder shrinks, which it does. The trio was unsure how they were going to get down. Then, Birdy Bird and her babies help the trio get home by flying them home. Wubbzy thinks that it's fun, and Widget agrees with him. But Walden feels nauseous and disagrees. Birdy Bird and her babies fly Wubbzy and his friends into the sunset as the episode ends.
