From Jerry Edwards : A baby bird, Otto, has several adventures when he runs away from home. He escapes a hypnotic rattlesnake and runs into trouble with a hornet's nest. Rescued by his fater and taken home, he is given a spanking. One of the few Silly Symphony shorts I don't care for. It just doesn't have a Disney "look" or "feel" to it for me. It comes across as a short that could easily have been done by some other animation company. My feeling for this short is that it was mainly done to practice the use of different colors - the birds, trees and flowers display a wide variety of color.
