XD That was really good and so unexpected. You're a really good animator too.
Just one question. You made this in Flash right? How do you get Flash?

You can buy Flash off of many different software sites as well as Amazon.

That poor little bird! I love this film so much. I felt so bad for laughing at the bird, but his expression when he came back up was so funny! He looked kinda like Woodstock from Peanuts at the end, the way he was flying.

This is amazing ^^ The bird's reactions and flight patterns are all so natural and the flow of the animation is very well done. Cheers on the DD \(^o^)/

Excellent! Very cute and nice animation (I read a comment that said it was done in Adobe Flash, which I thought it was - Flash is good for those crisp, clean animations).
I had to laugh when I realised that it was a train-gate!

DragonsAndDreamscape [2012-09-07 17:12:12 +0000 UTC]
This is really cute! I love the way you mimicked birdlike behavior with your animation. They way they flit around, tilt their heads this way and that, and fluff their feathers were all captured here!

This bit terrified me! I thought the bird had been run over. So happy it survives!

It's really nice how entertaining such a short and simple story can be
I study animation and I keep making things hard for me for coming up with complex stuffs for my projects. I should try doing something like this instead.

glowworm56 [2012-09-07 15:08:18 +0000 UTC]
At first I thought it was a drinking straw--although it would have to be a rather large one--or a really small bird. The outcome was unexpected and hysterical.

glowworm56 [2012-09-07 15:02:35 +0000 UTC]
At first, I thought the bird was building a nest on a drinking straw--although it would had to have been a rather small bird or a really big straw. I did not see that ending coming. It was hysterical!

Hiland-Rose [2012-09-07 14:24:02 +0000 UTC]
too sweet! Loved the story here... it took me a while to get it though, I thought the red and white thing was a drinking straw at first, the train was unexpected... LOL.
Location Location Location, I get it...
Nicely done.
