Glory's tired of never having any privacy in her tree top nest; Plucky wishes he didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn each morning; and Snazz laments the pressures of having to come up with new songs every single day. So they decide to trade places. Soon after, they start to miss their old lives, but will never admit it until Greenthumb makes them realize everyone should do what they do best. Greenthumb surprises everyone with a bunch of new and interesting vegetables - blue potatoes, yellow watermelon, striped beets, purple beans, etc. Everyone agrees they're delicious. Everyone but Plucky, that is. Plucky HATES change. Plucky retreats to his coop and vows he'll never come out again. His friends come to the rescue... reminding him that change is part of nature. But there's one thing that he can always count on - how much they love and care for each other. And that's when Plucky changes his mind.
