In the end, all the families are restored to normal, and Peterkin is sentenced to laundry duty (presumably diapers). But he tells the camera he'd crossed his fingers when he had promised never to do any such mischief ever again. So, not bound by his promise, Peterkin winks at the camera and says he'll find something mischievous to do tomorrow. Cast Marjorie Tarlton was the voice of Peterkin, and Sara Berner, though uncredited, was generally considered to have voiced the female bird characters. The male bird voices were done by Danny Webb and Victor McLeod. Review The cartoon is full of sight gags — for example, the occupant of one of the eggs is shown against a candling flame as a bored shadow playing a game of tic-tac-toe on the inside of the egg wall. The cartoon is "cute" and "amusing" — it's also interesting "for the bright Technicolor spectrum, the beautiful forest background designs, some remarkably detailed tree trunks, and the artful designs found on each of the nests". Some people may be offended by the racial stereotypes presented — the blackbird is depicted as speaking in a "Negro dialect" prevalent in many American cartoons of the 1930s. The high artistry of the backgrounds by professional illustrator Will Pogany is obvious. There's also a wide array of bird species depicted, each, though drawn in the Lantz cartoon style, obviously a distinctive avian type, including canaries, mockingbirds, English sparrows, parrots, finches, warblers, blackbirds, and, of course, a stork doctor. Foreshadowing the emergence in the next year of Walter Lantz's most popular character, Woody Woodpecker, there's even a woodpecker couple.
