As Fluttershy finishes caring for a mouse in her cottage, Angel runs up to her and gestures that she's late for a special brunch with Princess Celestia at Sugarcube Corner. Overcoming some initial hesitation to leave, Fluttershy doubles back a few times to thank Angel before he locks the door behind her
A Bird in the Hoof is the twenty-second episode of the first season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. In this episode, Fluttershy tries to nurse Princess Celestia's pet bird back to health but faces unexpected challenges. The episode title references the proverb "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," which means it is better to possess a certain benefit than risk losing it for something better.
According to Lauren Faust, this episode, "was originally conceived as a tug-at-your-heartstrings style episode about losing a pet."
