Shoo is a blackbird with a bad wing.
When teased by the other blackbirds, he befriends lonely little Noah who shares his after school cookie with Shoo and they quickly become friends. When Shoo learns Noah has to move to Allentown, he decides to fly there, because he doesnt want Noah to be alone. However, because of his bad wing, Shoo cannot fly all the way to Allentown.
He meets Sergeant Brave in Ocean City, a highly decorated rescue pigeon recently retired from the Coast Guard. Although blackbirds and pigeons are not supposed to speak to each other or get along, Sergeant Brave is inspired by Shoo's story of friendship with Noah and decides to take up the journey to find Noah and be his new friend in Allentown.
Come fly with Sergeant Brave as the pigeons continue the journey to find Noah, be his new friend and share the after school cookie.
