When the baby flightless cormorant emerges from the nest, he is encouraged towards the water by his parents. But on the way, he notices other birds flying in a variety of different ways. He is envious and tries to fly too, but is disappointed by his failures to lift off. He's also discouraged by seeing penguins clumsily traipsing over rocks and then amazed at the way they dive and disappear into the water. With his parents urging to hurry up and follow them, he accidentally trips on the water's edge and falls into the water. He bobs up immediately and discovers he can swim. Very happy with his new skill, he no longer wants to be able to fly.When the baby flightless cormorant emerges from the nest, he is encouraged towards the water by his parents.
