Puppet love.

This is the story of one man's passion for a caged bird. She sings for him; he's in heaven. And then she grows into a sexy woman with wings.

The man's dreams are realised, but he is afraid now, because the bird is no longer a helpless creature in a cage, that can be patronised with oozy affection, but a life-sized dominatrix.

Claymation figures are intentionally toy-like and expressionless. The plot, however short, loses its invention and cannot quite take flight.
