This charming tale is about a curious little bird named Honey who lives in Australia. She loves to people watch as they scurry to and fro leading very exciting lives (or so she thinks). One day Honey lands on a window sill, peers through the window and sees a family cuddling together on a couch watching a super hero fight crime and help people in trouble. Right then and there she decides that's exactly what she wants to do because everyone loves a hero. She creates a costume for herself and says:
"Now that I look like a hero, I need to act like one too."
She first flies across the Outback and spots a kangaroo stuck in a giant puddle of mud. She wants to rescue him but finds he has a purpose for being in that mud and Honey just swooped in and wrecked all his fun. Oh my!
Next she comes across Mr. Anteater who is very, very hungry because the ants are hiding from him. Honey tries to help him out but oh dear she seems to make matters even worse if that is even possible.
Mrs. Koala is pining for her joey whose time had come to be independent and leave his mom. Honey tries to be the joey's substitute and crawls inside of Mrs. Koala's pouch and snuggles down in. However, her attempt to cheer the heartbroken mother fails and causes the other koala bears to mock and taunt Mrs. Koala, embarassing her profoundly and making her feel even worse.
Broken-hearted and discouraged, Honey flies back to her nest thinking her super hero days are over forever. Her loving mother wraps her in her wings and consoled her with these words:
"Honey, your heart is in the right place. Be patient and watchful. Someday you will find someone who needs help that only you can offer."
And that's exactly what happens. The perfect scenario arises to make a true superhero out of Honey. She does not hesitate when she hears the call and she becomes the champion she longs to be making everyone around her proud and her heart very happy indeed.
