In the episode "Save the Goldfish/Save the Baby Birds" of Wonder Pets season 1, the three animal heroes, Linny the Guinea Pig, Tuck the Turtle, and Ming-Ming Duckling, go on two separate rescue missions to save different types of creatures in need.
First, the Wonder Pets receive a call from a pet store owner who is concerned about a goldfish in her store's fish tank. The goldfish is sick and needs to be taken to the veterinarian, but the pet store owner doesn't have a way to transport the fish safely. The Wonder Pets swoop into action and use their Flyboat to get to the pet store. Once they arrive, they realize that the fish tank is on the top shelf, and they'll need help getting up there. Ming-Ming has an idea and uses a boombox to get the attention of a pet bird, who then helps the Wonder Pets climb up to the tank. After retrieving the sick goldfish, they race to the veterinarian. On the way, they encounter a school of fish who are concerned about their friend. The Wonder Pets reassure them, and together, they all make it to the veterinarian. The goldfish is cured, and the school of fish is grateful to the Wonder Pets for their help.
Next, the Wonder Pets receive a call from a mother bird whose nest has fallen out of a tree. The Wonder Pets arrive to find three baby birds in need of their help. Ming-Ming is eager to take on this mission, as she loves birds. However, they soon discover that one of the baby birds has not yet learned to fly and is stuck on the ground. The Wonder Pets must quickly come up with a plan to save the baby bird before nightfall. They decide to create a makeshift nest and a pulley system using a found wagon to transport the nest up to a nearby tree. Ming-Ming and Tuck help the baby birds into the makeshift nest, but the third baby bird refuses to leave its perch. Finally, Linny realizes that they need to convince the baby bird to take a leap of faith and trust that it can fly. It works, and the baby bird takes flight just in time to join its siblings in the safety of the new nest.
