A careless moment and an unplanned escape plunge Puffernut, a young cockatiel, into the wondrous world beyond his cage. When he discovers that he can't find his way back, the best day of his life quickly turns from exciting to a little scary. Led astray by strangers, Puffernut embarks on a misdirected search for home. As his unplanned flight of passage takes him ever farther from his intended goal, it also leads him to new friends and new insights. Along the way he encounters a cast of memorable characters.

Little Puffernut's quest never returns him home but it leads him into an adventurous life in the wild and a newfound confidence in himself.
