TIMOTHY TUI AND THE SOUTHERN OCEAN SPECIAL. Timothy Tui longs to explore the different parts of New Zealand. But there is a problem – his short forest bird wings don’t allow him to fly very far. ‘Why don’t you ask Jesus?’ His friend Teea challenges him. In an answer to prayer, Timothy, Teea and Temuka meet the three albatrosses, Albert, Ollie and Eddie, who are training for the most prestigious flying race of the year – the Southern Ocean Special. The tuis set out on an adventure of a lifetime with the albatrosses, but it soon becomes apparent that some bird doesn’t want the albatrosses to compete in the race. Will Timothy fulfil his dream of exploring New Zealand? Can he help the albatrosses make it to the start line?
