Description
This is Jeremy’s big moment. He finally has an idea that will make him rich. I.B.I.S (International Bin Integration Services) will train birds commonly known as tip ducks to keep our world clean and tidy.
Enter Ibsen, the world’s first rubbish-collecting ibis - however, Ibsen is not quite ready to play by the rules.
