When Easter Bilby arrives for Banjo Frog's Concert Spectacular, he finds only silence. Banjo Frog sadly informs Bilby that the concert is cancelled because he is too hungry to sing. Bilby blames it on the wild rabbits but Banjo laughs and says they don't eat insects. Bilby agrees, but says they eat the plants that the insects live on. Glossy Black Cockatoo arrives but he's too hungry to sing as well. The rabbits have eaten the sheoak seedlings so no new trees can grow and drop seeds. Southern Brown Bandicoot is also too tired to sing since the rabbits ate the bushes they sleep under. So what can they do to fix it?
