The Vogel family is waiting. After all, the process of hatching an egg takes quite a while. Besides the right warmth in the nest, it also requires a lot of patience! Only then can the little chick grow strong enough to eventually peck its way out from the inside. But what is this? The waiting seems endless! Slowly, doubts begin to creep in among the birds about whether everything is as it should be this time. They even ask the bat to listen to the baby bird's heartbeat through the shell. But no matter how hard their attentive friend tries, all she hears is silence. The little chick is no longer alive. Papa Bird, Mama Bird, and the sibling are sad. They had so many plans to do things together with the sweet baby bird! And because they still want to, they decide to show their deceased chick the beauty of the bird world before saying goodbye forever.
