Present - Little owl, pigeons.
Little Owl sitting smiling, holding an ice cream on the steps in Trafalgar Square. Suddenly a shadow shades him. It’s a gang of pigeons.

He manages to get to the side of the road, falls down in a sitting position on the pavement. He’s starting to cough and gets the whole wrapping of the KFC bucket back up. He looks miserable. A sizzling sound makes clear that he is burnt red by the sun.

Ringing, a close up of Big Ben, its 9 pm already and it’s getting dark. You can see mother owl’s angry posture in the clock. Owl is suddenly scared he won’t get home before his mother wake up. In the dusk he sees the silhouettes of the pigeons getting closer. Owl gets scared and curls up in the corner, but when the pigeons get closer you can see that they’re eyes are squinting, they can’t see very well in the dark. Little owl realises that he’s got advantage over them, (rips off his welding protection), flies up and kicks the pigeons in their behinds.

He flies in through his window straight into his bed and pretends to sleep, his mother owl comes in he open his eyes and winks at the camera.
