The Dirdy Birdy (1994) is an animated short created by John R. Dilworth, creator of Courage the Cowardly Dog. It features a dimwitted bird named Purdy who falls in love with a cat named Fergurina. The short consists of Purdy trying to win Fergurina's affections (by showing his backside of all things) and getting rejected (and pummeled) in the process.It can be seen here.20 years after the creation of the original short, John Dilworth uploaded a redux of the original short on YouTube with one minute of never-before-seen footage. | |

Beat Still, My Heart: The one time Purdy doesn't court Fergurina by baring his behind in front of her is by offering her his still-beating heart after removing it from his body. | |

Flipping the Bird Haha... no, but seriously, there is an example: when The Grim Reaper is about to take Purdy away, he give Fergurina the "chin flick" variation of this. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Fergurina always retaliates against Purdy's poorly thought-out attempts at winning her affections with violence, but she does beat up the Grim Reaper to rescue Purdy from death. | |

Here We Go Again!: Near the end of the short, Purdy and Fergurina bond over making scary faces at each other, but Purdy eventually gets back to mooning Fergurina and Fergurina in turn gets back to retaliating against his mooning. | |
