Russell, thinking Carl only cares about his home, goes off to rescue Kevin by himself, but is tied up by Muntz and Alpha. Carl rushes to put out the blaze and Muntz easily incapacitates Russell as he gets away with Kevin. He gives Carl the ultimatum of either rescuing Kevin or saving his house, which he has set on fire. That night, their location is given away by Dug's collar and Muntz captures Kevin in a net just before she can make it back to her babies. Carl, Russell, and Dug manage to escape by getting Kevin to fly over a cliff, but her leg is injured by Alpha. After Russell accidentally lets it slip that Kevin is his pet and the bird he's looking for, Muntz becomes convinced that they are out to take credit for the bird's existence, so he sends his dogs after them.

The time he has spent alone and concentrating only on his mission made him extremely paranoid and dangerous. ![]() He at one point discovered where the bird lives and nests, a monstrous rocky labyrinth, but he himself was never able to enter it due to the labyrinth being a deadly maze able to cause anyone to get lost quickly and he claims to have lost so many of his dogs when he sent them in to capture the bird.
