Pip the tūī loved to explore. One breezy morning, he flew over the hills and heard a soft whirring sound. It came from a little nest beside a fern. Three young birds were huddled there, waiting for their parent. Pip turned and followed a curved path as he hurried toward the nest.

Pip looked around, but the parent was nowhere near. He flew higher to search. At last, he spotted a bird by a stream, gathering food. Pip swooped down and led the parent back to the nest. The young birds chirped as their family was together again.
