Avant, les cigognes livraient les bébés, au point d'avoir fondé une entreprise uniquement consacrée à cette tâche. Mais ça, c'était avant. Un jour, l'une d'entre elles, Jasper, refusa de livrer une petite fille, souhaitant la garder. La balise de géolocalisation de l'enfant se brisa dans la bagarre entre les cigognes, Jasper s'enfuit, et la petite fille, Tulipe, resta à la charge de la compagnie. Son boss, Hunter, décida alors de changer totalement leurs activités : désormais, les cigognes livrent des paquets pour un site de commerce électronique, et ont totalement abandonné la livraison de bébés ; elles emploient également d'autres espèces d'oiseaux à des tâches subalternes.
