| - It is night, and the Smurfs are all going to bed. Dopey Smurf runs yelling that he has seen a monster, but no one believes him. A few moments later, a giant bird whose call is "Booglooboo" comes and destroys Papa Smurf's roof by accident. Papa Smurf assures them that it is an exotic bird migrating south for the winter and it will not come back. Smurfette realizes that if it is going south, it is heading towards Gargamel's home. Early next morning, a drowsy Gargamel is awoken by the Booglooboo's cry, and comes out to find it on his chiminey. He shoos it away, but it just comes back and builds a nest. Gargamel tries to chase it away again, but it chases him into the woods, and he later comes back and hides until it leaves. He then climbs up to the roof to destroy the nest, but find an egg inside, which hatches into a "Boogloobee". The mother comes back and chases Gargamel from the nest again, then feeds her baby a snake, which repulses Gargamel. Later, Smurfette and Brainy Smurf try to find the Booglooboo and see it at Gargamel's house, just as he plans to get rid of the Boogloobee in hopes that with the baby gone, the mother will go away. He throws the baby off a mountain and into a river, but Brainy and Smurfette see his ploy and save the baby. The baby saves Smurfette from a snake, and Smurfette suggests keeping him, but Brainy says they must take him back. Meanwhile, Gargamel, thinks his plan has worked. The Booglooboo mother is weeping over the loss of the baby, but then sees Gargamel and adopts him as a replacement for the Boogloobee. Gargamel is not happy, but then the chick flies up to his mother, having been brought back, and the birds depart. The Smurfs stand at the bottom of the ladder, waving, and Gargamel grabs them. The baby hears their cries for help, and goes back to attack Gargamel, and his mother follows, picking him up and dropping him in a nest of angry eagles on a mountain. He escapes from the eagles and goes home to go to bed. Gargamel is happy that the birds are gone and he can now sleep after his bad day, but then he hears Booglooboo cries outside and freaks out, but it is actually the Smurfs, who have a host of bird whistles that mimic the Booglooboo.
