The first street scene starts with Big Bird commenting on how clean the street looks after the hurricane. Snuffy tells him that Luis says it's okay to go home. Big Bird then compliments Luis on the new doors to his nest, which seem strong enough to withstand future storms. However, Telly has his doubts, and the Big Bad Wolf from Huff, Huff, and Puff Construction comes to test the doors. The doors hold up well, but Telly gets blown away instead.
In the second street scene, Luis and Maria show Big Bird his newly cleaned and repaired nest area. However, a new problem arises when Big Bird reveals that he doesn't know how to build a nest. I.M. Pig and his associates from the architectural firm Pig, Pig, and Pig approach Big Bird and solicit ideas for a nest. They suggest various ambitious ideas while leading themselves in a song, but Big Bird only wants a simple home.
In the fourth street scene, the three pig architects unveil models of three nests made respectively of straw, sticks, and bricks. Two of the models accidentally get blown away. Big Bird is dissatisfied with all of them, and the pigs suggest that he should have a bird design his nest. Big Bird decides to call his Granny Bird for advice.
In the fifth street scene, Granny Bird advises Big Bird to gather twigs to build his nest. Big Bird and Maria leave to collect twigs, following Granny Bird's advice.
In the sixth street scene, various human and Muppet characters walk into the nest area carrying sticks they've collected. Big Bird still doesn't think he knows how to build the nest, but Alan suggests taking things one twig at a time. Everyone joins in singing "Twig by Twig," and even Oscar contributes by donating mud. Elmo leaves near the end of the scene to feed his goldfish, Dorothy.
In the final street scene, Big Bird's nest is nearly complete when I.M. Pig comes by to critique the work. He is impressed and even invites Big Bird to join his firm. Snuffy announces the sponsors, and the story of the hurricane continues in Episode 3980.
