(DVD, Fox)
A young falcon tires of living in isolation with his father and joins a group of birds flying to the mythical bird city of Zambezia. The city is located in a large tree at the top of Victoria Falls and strives to welcome birds of all feathers. The one exception are the scavenger marabou storks, who conspire with a monitor lizard to take over Zambezia. The falcon tries out and makes an exclusive group of military-style birds who patrol and protect the city, but his unconventional methods get him kicked out. However, when the lizards invade he is the one to convince the other to let the maribou's help defeat them. Colorful, entertaining animated feature from South Africa with a good if underutilized soundtrack of native songs.
