With his connection to nature, every tree cut leaves him weaker until he's completely sapped of his powers. It's up to his mighty feathered comrades, Didi Damage, Tactik and Mega Pie with the help of Johnny Puff to help Tic regain his strength and confront the diabolical Otto before the last tree falls forever.
