You can stream For the Birds (2000) on Disney+ with a subscription.

One by one, a flock of small birds perches on a telephone wire. Sitting close together has problems enough, and then comes along a large dopey bird that tries to join them. The birds of a feather can't help but make fun of him - and their clique mentality proves embarrassing in the end.

This short film swaps sweeping epic narratives for a claustrophobic, hilarious standoff on a single telephone wire. Watching a tiny, feathered mob turn on a massive outsider provides a sharp, biting lesson in the cruelty of social cliques.
