Strife with Father

Strife with Father is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated film directed by Robert McKimson and starring voice actor Mel Blanc.

[2] 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".

But nonetheless, he takes Beaky out into the world to demonstrate the art of hunting for prey, such as barnyard fowl.

Strife with Father is available restored with its original titles on Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 2.
