Screen

While the birds and pigs continued to fight each other for the eggs, a strange bird named Zeta, tired of his life on an Frozen Island, throws ice balls that collide with Pig Island and Bird Island.

So the birds and the pigs must leave their differences, to unite and stop Zeta, traveling to his island and infiltrating.

Argument

The birds and pigs are in constant war against each other after Pig Island, which was destroyed in a previous battle with the birds, is rebuilt. Finally, a giant ice ball from a nearby island called Eagle Island hits the sea near Pig Island, forcing the pigs to seek an emergency truce with the birds. Zeta, the island's leader, is fed up with her icy surroundings and wants to occupy the two islands by shooting ice balls to force their inhabitants to evacuate.

Meanwhile, three hatchlings, one of whom is Terrence and Matilda's daughter, Zoe, plan to reenact a battle between birds and pigs using three eggs on a beach, but the eggs go to sea by accident. They set sail to retrieve them, but once they reach them, a whale throws them into a cloud. They manage to knock them down after blowing Zoe into the air only to mislead them again.

Chuck and Bomb force Red to join them in a dating activity. Red meets Silver, Chuck's sister, a clever engineering student who considers him incompatible. Leonard, the King of Pig Island, meets Red at his house and convinces him to build an alliance with the pigs. They recruit Bomb, Chuck, Mighty Eagle and Silver. A team meeting in Mighty Eagle Cave is interrupted when an ice ball hits Eagle Mountain and destroys it.

As the team travels to Eagle Island by submarine, Red assures the civilians that they do not need to evacuate. Once there, Águila Poderosa confesses that Zeta is his ex-girlfriend whom he abandoned due to cowardice, and retires to Isla Pájaro. Red insists on fighting alone and Silver decides to follow him. They enter the base from the muzzle of the weapon only to be captured by the guards. The other members of the team disguise themselves as a Trojan eagle and take a card to enter the base. His disguise is ripped apart, but not before leading the Eagle Guards into a breakdancing battle, allowing them to escape.

Elsewhere, the three hatchlings finally find the eggs on a small island, guarded by a python. They defeat him and plan to return to Bird Island, but arrive at Pig Island by mistake and are greeted by three piglets with whom they travel in a hot air balloon.

As Red and Silver are confined in ice, Zeta tells them of his plan to shoot lava-filled ice balls on both islands. Red, who regrets not telling the islanders to evacuate, admits his selfish desire to be liked by all to Silver, who comforts him and frees them both by wearing his long crest - braids, reuniting with the team. Red cedes leadership to Silver, who sets up a plan to destroy the weapon. Silver and Red got into an ice ball and rolled over a railing towards Zeta's weapon, but the plan fails and Zeta and his guards confront the entire team, giving him a chance to fire the weapon.

Suddenly, Mighty Eagle arrives to apologize to Zeta, but she quarrels with him, revealing his name as Ethan and that he raised a daughter alone, his servant Debbie. While Zeta is distracted, Silver tells Chuck to tie the gun using his super rope, which catches and slows the lava balls after Zeta shoots them. When the rope breaks, the pups and piglets that pass through Isla Águila help to grab it. Lava balls slide towards the weapon, destroying the entire base.

They all escape, and Mighty Eagle protects Debbie from being crushed by a metal plate, redeeming himself to her and Zeta. Águila Poderosa and Zeta get married on Isla Pájaro, with Red as the main witness. Everyone praises Red for saving the islands, but he credits Silver and the team for doing so, unveiling a Mount Rushmore-style monument to them, and to their surprise, being even more beloved for his honesty and selflessness. The birds and pigs have a big party to celebrate, while Red and Silver start a relationship and Chuck walks in to interrupt the two.

In a pre-credits scene, the hatchlings lay their eggs at home, but three snakes hatch instead. The injured mother python arrives and swaps the babies with them, only for the three new hatchlings to return to sea, saying goodbye to their surprised sister.
