Niwa no Kotori

A little bird lives happily in a garden, spending his days singing and playing among the flowers. One day, he decides to throw a birthday party and personally invites all his animal friends, including the sparrows, the rabbits, and the squirrels. He prepares decorations, gathers tasty treats, and eagerly awaits the celebration, imagining the laughter and joy that will fill the air.

But when the long-awaited day arrives, the little bird waits and waits, but no one comes. His friends have all decided to go play at another bird's house instead, leaving him completely alone. The garden feels empty and silent, and the little bird must come to terms with the hurt of being forgotten and the loneliness of his celebration that never was.
