Go Jetters and the Great Stork Migration
The Go Jetters are preparing baby storks to take to the sky on their annual migration from Spain to Africa. Ubercorn shares funky facts about bird migration, like why they fly in a V formation and how baby storks know where to go when they migrate. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four international heroes as they travel the globe visiting landmarks and solving environmental problems with Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
