Synopsis
On a normal day on Bird Island, Red is seen walking across the streets with his angry mood as usual, until he spots a young duck with his head upside down, a lady sitting backwards on her motorbike, a homeless guy giving him some money, and a trio of birds walking using their boots as gloves. This confuses Red, until he realizes that it is Backwards Day. Red compares them to other holidays he considers to be equally ridiculous, and yells his hatred for holidays. Suddenly, another bird comes in, saying that, as he said that he hates holidays, and it is Backwards Day, he loves them. After some time of thinking, Red gets this logic, and proceeds to mock other birds (who take it as a compliment). He then meets three birds, who think that he is being nicer than usual. Red commits the error of saying that he likes them, though he corrects himself instantly by saying that they are jerks. He then leaves, saying that he could get used to it and that "it feels nice to have some friends".

In the meantime, Chuck walks slowly through a group of people, who are also celebrating Backwards Day. Then, Terence is shown, struggling to pick up an apple from the floor. An old duck then comes in, throwing the apple at him, and then he proceeds to eat it. Later, the people on Bird Island vote for the winner of the Best Guy of Backwards Day. Red get zero votes, which makes him the winner. The presentation tells him that the winner would normally get a trophy, pots with money, or being able to date celebrities, but, as it is Backwards Day, she instead tasks him with cleaning up the parade after the party is over. Everybody then leaves while Red starts to clean up the scenary alone.

The Garden

Synopsis
During a sunny day on Bird Island, Matilda tells Red, Chuck, Bomb, and Hal if they wanted to take care of her garden while she went to a wildflower-hunting expedition far across the island with her friends. Bomb is the only bird who offers to be volunteer while the other ones go away. Matilda tells him to take good care of the flowers, and warns him that, should they get ruined, she will get incredibly mad, scaring Bomb. Matilda then leaves while a shocked Bomb stands still.

Seven hours later, Stella comes in and tells Bomb to check in on the flowers. Bomb sees bees on the flowers, and decides to get rid of them, though he gets stinged about three-hundred times. Three hours later, he is satisfied that he could chase the bees away, only for Stella to tell him that bees are good for flowers. In response, Bomb struggles to make the bees come back. He also gets rid of the weeds and sings songs for the flowers. However, Stella sees that the soil is dry, and tells Bomb to water it, so he sets up the hose and read a book while drinking limonade. However, he falls asleep. Six hours later, he is awakened by Stella, and finds out that all the garden is flooded, though Stella tells him to turn it into a water garden.

The next day, Matilda comes back home and goes to check her garden. After seeing her reformed garden, she compliments Bomb for having turned it into a water garden. She asks him how did he know that she wanted something like that, and he simply tells her that "a little birdy told him" as Stella winks at him.

Synopsis
On Piggy Island, Foreman Pig and his troops of Minion Pigs launch Operation Mighty Eagle. One of the pigs, however, mistakes the word launch with lunch, and asks him if they are going to have lunch. Foreman Pig says no, and they order the troops to launch. While flying to Bird Island, Foreman Pig is about to tell the pigs his plan. One pig asks him if the plan has lunch, and the Foreman initially says that it has not, though he later changes his mind before proceeding to tell them the plan, where they have to kidnap the Mighty Eagle, take him to Piggy Island, and invade Bird Island with no opposition.

After arriving at the Mighty Eagle's cave, the pigs find the eagle sleeping on his bed. They try to throw coconuts at him, though it has no effect at all. The Mighty Eagle then accidentally punches one of the pigs, sending him to the room's wall. In the meantime, the eagle has a dream about him defeating all the pigs, unaware of the fact that he is actually doing so in real life. While he (accidentally) forces the pigs to retreat, he dreams about getting cheered up by some cheerleaders. Foreman Pig and his troops get aboard their planes thinking that they are safe now, only for a sleeping Mighty Eagle to appear flying next to them. The eagle destroys the pigs' planes and then goes back home, where he wakes up confused. He thinks that the pigs were trying to attack him, though he scraps that idea thinking that it is not possible before going back to sleep.
