Two crows are flying through a snowstorm. "I can hardly see a thing!" yells one, "We can't keep going like this!" The other one replies "Let's take a break!" They land in a snow-covered field, the snow is falling gently. "Oh!" exclaims one while looking around at the peaceful scene, "It's so beautiful when you aren't fighting against it." e6fd40eb0107fa98.jpg A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury" b0d90aad4a47533a.jpg A crow kicks a small ball of snow. They then start rolling it into a larger ball while saying "trust the process...". They kick more snow into a pile and stick a branch in repeating "trust the process" to itself. They place small stones. They say "Phew!" and stand back to look at its creation, which we see now is a mess of a project that looks somewhat like a melted bird. The final panel the crow says "haha it's terrible". 84a8e6af9ec73152.jpg We see two house sparrows drinking out of a puddle. The male says to the female: "Good puddle!" to which she replies "I love you but you have low standards". Pigeons arrive in the background, the female says "Ope! Here comes the herd" There is a long horizontal frame of the two sparrows in the midst of a bunch of pigeons cooing around them. The male then says "gentle giants" the female agrees "mhm" and then says "coo" and the male responds "haha. coo!" 6a1652fc966e87b7.jpg A scene of destruction; a city's downtown lays in smouldering ruin, skyscrapers crumbling, fires creating toxic smoke. A colossal mechanical robin stands in the middle of this mayhem. The machine leans forward with a hydraulic "VVVVRT" and exhaust shoots out of its neck with a "PSSHHT!". In the interior of this horrible mechanism we see a robin in the command centre, pausing and looking away from its module. Two more robins wait in pregnant pause, all wearing headsets. There is a poster hung that reads "WORK SAFELY" and features a bird wearing a hardhat. Another begins "you don't have to be CRAZY to work here but..." and is cut off by the frame of the image. We see the captain of the vessel, in a captain's hat, pause before commanding "Full power to thrusters". In the final panel, the mecharobin is blasting forward with immense jet engines that have emerged out of each side of the machine. Entire buildings are blown apart in its wake. The target of this war machine is a giant earth worm which is laying waste to the city in the foreground. It seems surprised at this maneuver of the robins. b91642312b24ac83.jpg
