action
A blackbird flies to a sultan's palace and sees through the window how the sultan is enjoying the beauty of a bird. This bird has a magnificent plumage that seems to change colors and is of unimaginable beauty. He flies to ethereal music in a separate room in the palace and is otherwise kept in a large, golden cage.
The blackbird flies through the jungle, collecting petals from flowers and feathers from birds. She builds a colorful plumage out of the material and flies clumsily back to the palace. In front of the Sultan, she performs an awkward dance and is put in a small bird cage that is hung from a tree outside the palace. The wind carries the cage away, and the cage breaks on impact. When the blackbird awakens from its swoon, it realizes that the bird had to pay a high price for its beauty: the loss of freedom. She now flies cleanly through the area and enjoys the beauties of nature and its feathered inhabitants, including a peacock and birds of paradise .
