Plot
Up above in the sky there is a very special zeppelin floating around, carrying a crow, a black bird, some ducks and many more (even a bat!) Each and everyone with a sole purpose: to help other animals (and not only animals) in danger. It's the Bird Squad, ready to face risks and perils, and to fly the four corners of the earth.
Plot

The Ducks (formerly known as the Jeff Blackburn Band) were a short-lived hard rock supergroup formed in the summer of 1977 by singer-songwriter Jeff Blackburn, and consisted of musicians Bob Mosley (an original member of Moby Grape), Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young, and Johnny Craviotto. The band played a series of impromptu bar gigs around the Santa Cruz area in 1977. Fans would often quack and blow duck callers before the band began playing. The band focused on topics such as trucks, girls and bars.
In the spring of 1977, former Moby Grape vocalist and guitarist Jerry Miller was working with various musicians and Young found his way on stage one night with Miller (whom he knew from his Fillmore days) and a singer/songwriter named Jeff Blackburn (who co-wrote "My My Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)". Young began hanging out and jamming with Blackburn in the days that followed with Blackburn on rhythm guitar, Bob Mosley on bass, and session musician Johnny Craviotto on drums. Craviotto had previously played on tracks for Arlo Guthrie,Ry Cooder, and Buffy Sainte-Marie. They decided to call themselves the Ducks and within weeks every duck call within miles had been purchased.
Neil Percival Young,OC,OM (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer-songwriter who is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of his generation.
Young began performing as a solo artist in Canada in 1960, before moving to California in 1966, where he co-founded the band Buffalo Springfield along with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay, and later joined Crosby, Stills & Nash as a fourth member in 1969. He forged a successful and acclaimed solo career, releasing his first album in 1968; his career has since spanned over 40 years and 34 studio albums, with a continual and uncompromising exploration of musical styles. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website describes Young as "one of rock and roll’s greatest songwriters and performers". He has been inducted into the Hall of Fame twice: first as a solo artist in 1995, and second as a member of Buffalo Springfield in 1997.
Young's work is characterized by his distinctive guitar work, deeply personal lyrics and signature alto or high tenor singing voice. Although he accompanies himself on several different instruments, including piano and harmonica, his idiosyncratic electric and clawhammer acoustic guitar playing are the defining characteristics of a varyingly ragged and melodic sound. While Young has experimented with differing music styles, including swing and electronic music throughout a varied career, his best known work usually falls into two primary styles: acoustic (folk and country rock) and electric (amplified hard rock, very often in collaboration with the band Crazy Horse). Young has also adopted elements from newer styles such as alternative rock and grunge. His influence on the latter caused some to dub him the "Godfather of Grunge".

If home is where the heart is then my heart's a Tiki
House.
A Misfits land of Peter Pans and acne never looked that
great to me.
The kids, the kids, the kids, the kids.
By the fucking kids.
The kids, the kids, the kids, the kids.
[Instrumental]
The path to home seemed so strange
Fades trees in twilight
Many things he remembered has changed
New people stared him like a ghost
He rode across the village
To the last cottage's door
There he saw two oaks standing
As proud as a century before
Suddenly he began to understand
The meaning of the signs
This is his home where he belongs
The answers he could here find
In vain he wandered across the lands
On and on and on and on
The nature showed the answer is
The two oaks...
The labyrinth was he quest
When thou enter there is no exit
To understand it took his life
He has only some weeks to cry
The meaning of oneself
Is searching only in vain
It is a secret of nature
And so shall it remain
Suddenly he began to understand
The meaning of the signs
This is his home where he belongs
The answers he could here find
In vain he wandered across the lands
On and on and on and on
The nature showed the answer is
The two oaks...
The nature told him so many times
How futile was his voyage
The echo, the sea - he did not listen
In dreams lieth his world
Suddenly he began to understand
The meaning of the signs
This is his home where he belongs
The answers he could here find
In vain he wandered across the lands
On and on and on and on
The nature showed the answer is
