Bitte drück mich, kleiner Vogel! Oskar ist nicht wie andere Vögel. Seine Flügel sind unheimlich lang, und so sehr er auch versucht zu fliegen, es will einfach nicht klappen. Eines Tages trifft Oskar auf einen Orang-Utan, der fürchterlich traurig ist und schluchzt. Oskar umarmt ihn ganz fest und tröstet ihn. Vielleicht sind seine nutzlosen Flügel ja doch zu etwas gut? Also knuddelt Oskar einen Bären, ein kitzeliges Krokodil und eine ganze Vogelbande. Selbst ein Wurm will geknuddelt werden. Jeden Morgen stehen die Tiere Schlange und da merkt der kleine Vogel mit den viel zu langen Flügeln, dass er glücklich ist, genau so, wie er ist. Und dass es etwas viel Wertvolleres gibt, als perfekt zu sein: Freunde! Und weil man mit Freunden alles schaffen kann, helfen sie Oskar auch dabei, seinen größten Wunsch zu verwirklichen.
