This does not show birdyness in the title but Bill and Coo 1948Welcome to Chirpendale. There's plenty of parking space, plus it has everything: a bar where bird citizens can drink junebug sundaes and listen to jazzy music. But the bird citizens are terrorized by an evil raven called "The Black Menace", but a pluck young bird named Bill Singer, who's a taxi driver by day, comes to the aid of a damsel in distress, Coo, who's trapped in a fire. And soon the circus comes to town, Bill and Coo get box perches and witness ferocious feats and even laugh along with Cannonball Twitcher on an out of control motorcycle! But soon The Black Menace returns, and Bill and the rest of the citizens put together a plan to put him away for good.
The feathered residents of Chirpendale are terrorized by an evil black crow by the name of "The Black Menace". But to the citizen's rescue comes a brave young taxi puller named Bill! "The Black Menace" is played by the famous Jimmy the Crow who also starred in a little film that involved some red shoes and a golden road. The ENTIRE cast are birds. I remember seeing this in what my Uncle Vinny calls "my yoot" and I recently found a pretty poor public domain copy but at least it is watchable and not just a memory. It won an Oscar as (I guess) best animated short. BTW, is that the same "Jimmy Crow" that appeared on the "Doonesbury" strip in 2012?

Not a game! Just an appreciation of those little flying things with wings. Without them imagine how many annoyin insecte we would have Yes, and without seagulls how many more complete Marmite sandwiches I would have eaten.
