This short only had a limited theatrical release and was the only Sylvester short produced by Jones, and also the final Sylvester cartoon he was involved with. It was also the final 'Looney Tunes'/'Merrie Melodies' short to have Jones involved in and to use traditional cel animation.
Plot
Sylvester finds a sparrow egg in a nest. Before he can eat it for breakfast however, a little bird hatches out and calls him "Mama." He warms to the idea of being a father and instead of eating it, he protects the bird throughout a series of near-disasters.
