The series was animated by Little Airplane Productions, which opened a second studio in London to produce it. The show revolves around a community of birds and their adventures. It was broadcast on the BBC's CBeebies channel from 1 July 2008 to 31 July 2010. Described in its initial press release as "a charming new animated series all about community", the show's format generally involves one or more of the characters encountering a problem which must be solved using the social skills which pre-school children must develop in order to make their way in the world.

Oobi, Wonder Pets!

The show uses "photo-puppetry", an animation style created by Jennifer Oxley that uses photos of real animals and moves them using Adobe After Effects. This same animation style was used for Little Airplane's previous show Wonder Pets! and the scene transitions on Oobi.
