A buzzard egg is mysteriously delivered to two sparrows, Gwendolyn and Monte (parodies of actors Ronald Colman and his wife Benita Hume).The "upper crusty" and very proper English Sparrows are not accustomed to having a repulsively ugly (and incredibly stupid) little bird about, but Gwendolyn convinces her husband that the baby bird will grow into a "beautiful swan".
It marks the first appearance of Beaky Buzzard (named "Killer" in this story) in a Warner Bros. short. [2] The title is a Brooklyn-accented way of saying "gets the bird", which can refer to an obscene gesture, or as simply the "Bronx cheer"; in this case, it is also used metaphorically, as Bugs "gets" the bird (Beaky) by playing a trick.
