The film starts out when one small bird lands on a telephone wire. Then, another one flies down and makes itself comfortable on the same wire, and annoys the first bird. The two birds start to fight, and soon many birds flock out onto the wire, fighting with each other. A much larger and awkward-looking bird sitting on the top of the pole honks to them. He is gangly, with feathers that stick up and out. The smaller birds mock him by puffing up and sticking up the top feathers on their heads, which is accompanied by short high-pitched chirps.
The small birds scoot over along the wire, away from the large bird, and start chattering suspiciously. The large bird interrupts them by honking loudly and puffing up his head feathers higher than before. The smaller birds look up from their chatting. The larger bird awkwardly flutters from the pole to the wire, weighing it down and causing the smaller birds to slide inwards and crowd together, much to their dismay. They start looking up at the large bird and chatter angrily. The large bird persists in trying to win their friendship, until at last the smaller birds decide to shove him from their perch, eventually ending up with the larger bird hanging from the wire upside down.
Two birds decide to peck at his toes and shake the wire to loosen him off. One of the other birds gets the flock of birds (except for the pecking ones and the large one) to start chirping in unison. The larger bird honks up to them with a happy look on his face, even though he´s upside down. While the flock chirps, the same one who started the flock talk notices the telephone wire´s low altitude with the weight of the large bird, which would snap back and sling all of the little birds upwards. It warns the flock by making agitated noises. The birds watch as the last toe of the large bird slides off and they end up being flung up off the wire and losing all their feathers.
The larger bird is such a short distance away from the ground that he lands comfortably on the ground. The small birds´ feathers drift down, and then the smaller birds start falling from the sky. When the first one falls, it realizes it´s naked and is visibly embarrassed. The larger bird kindly hands it a leaf while laughing. The rest of the birds drop out of the sky and all panic. Realizing they are now completely non-feathered, the birds all crowd behind the larger bird to hide themselves as the larger bird covers his eyes with his wing roaring with laughter, the screen goes black with the bird still laughing and a white dropping spells the end.
