    The story revolves around a compulsively jealous husband, the unnamed first-person narrator of the story. The story opens abruptly, with the narrator sitting on a perch in his cage in a pet store in Houston, having been reincarnated somehow as a yellow-nape Amazon parrot.

Despite his physical and, to a degree psychological, transformation, he is still jealous of his former wife's latest lover.

    One of the ways that the producers made the film fun and easy for all ages to understand, was they used little, fuzzy, blue birds to act out the story. The bird’s actions and expressions made it easy to understand that they were not very nice. The ending revealed the true intentions of the film. It describes very clearly how bullying happens and what the consequences are. The consequences of the birds were that they all got flung off the wire and lost all of their feathers, because of their actions toward the friendly bird that they did not like.…

    One day, the narrator and Toby were walking across a covered bridge. The bridge had few windows and was therefore quite dark. Near the end of the bridge, the two encountered a turnstile. Toby insisted on leaping the stile and said he could cut a pigeon wing over it. The narrator doubted Toby's ability, and Toby then bet the Devil his head that he could do it. As soon as Toby pronounced the words of the bet, a "little lame old gentleman of venerable aspect" appeared and lay the ground rules for Toby's jump.…

    The story of the fifi bird, as Professor Schueb describes, is one about the holistic nature of all beings. It begins by describing a sick and shriveled child who is deserted by her family and is then joined by a beautiful, mythical, bird. This child takes the place on the perch where the fifi bird originally swung above her and is then uncovered and attacked by travelers. Unsuccessful in their attacks, the attackers perish at their own hands. The story then ends with the child being replaced by the incredible fifi bird, who continues to swing on the vine. In the story, an awe-inspiring bird is compared to a rejected, injured, child through repetition in the storyline; the swinging on the vine. As the story progresses, those who try to destroy…
