“BIRDS” is a 2D animated short about Karl that goes from room to room to fit in. First, he visits the business people, after them the sports people and last the party people. In every room, Karl differs from the rest because he has not a hat but a bird on his head. Every time he gets kicked out because of his bird or because he himself does not fit in.
When he is with the party people he seems to fit in for the first time because the music is so loud and nobody can hear his loud bird. He starts to dance when the music suddenly goes silent. His bird continues to makes its sounds and Karl leaves the room because he has the feeling that he does not fit in.
When he arrives at the next room he hesitates but then decides to not enter the room because he gives up to fit in. He walks along and comes to a bench where he sits down.
Suddenly he hears a bird whistling. Right next to him sits Omu, who also has a bird sitting on her head. She is the first one in the film to say hello to Karl.
After a short while, one of the businessmen walks along grumpily. Suddenly a strong wind comes up and the hat of the businessman blows away. This reveals that also the business man had a bird squeaking under his hat all along.
