“It is Autumn; at the end of a branch hangs a red leaf. A little black bird comes along to water it when suddenly, a squirrel nicks the bird’s bright green watering can. The bird follows the cheeky thief and so begins an exciting chase through the forest.”
See what happens to a flightless Little Bird and the Squirrel (Der kleine Vogel und das Eichhörnchen) that takes is watering can. The animated short is one in a Little Bird series by animator and illustrator Lena von Döhren.
