To Teach a Bird to Fly is a docu-fiction that tells the story of bird extinction from the point of view of the Northern Bald Ibis. This story explores bird extinction and climate change through a fictionalized story told from the perspective of the future.

The hope is to teach them to migrate by following a light aircraft across the Alps to their wintering grounds in Tuscany, Italy.
