A charming, visually delightful short about social exclusion and comeuppance, told with gentle humor and a moral lesson wrapped in warmth.

One by one, a flock of small birds perches on a telephone wire. Sitting close together has problems enough, and then comes along a large dopey bird that tries to join them. The birds of a feather can't help but make fun of him - and their clique mentality proves embarrassing in the end.
