Felix is a bird from Brazil who lives with the Baxter family in New York. He has lived in a cage for two years and misses his family. He is unhappy. He remembers the day when he was caught in the jungle. One day Mr Baxter opens the cage to feed him and Felix escapes and flies out of the window. He meets a bird on the head of the Statue of Liberty and tells him he’s going home. He starts to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. He’s hungry, but he’s happy. Felix sees a ship and eats some fish. When he gets to Machu Picchu, a big bird tells him about Aca, a bird in Rio, who knows the jungle well and can help Felix. Felix flies to Rio and meets Aca. In Rio, a man tries to catch him but Aca helps him escape. The two birds see a lot of men building a road near where Felix’s family live and at first Felix can’t find his home. In the end he sees his family and he is home and happy.
