Storyline
| Plot Summary |
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-looking bird who tries to join them. The birds of a feather can't help but make fun of him -- and the clique mentality proves embarrassing in the end. Written by Jwelch5742 |
