What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    A Middle Eastern man is dressed stereotypically. Eggs are stolen from wild birds all over the world, and a redwood-size Zinzibar-Zanzibar tree is chopped down just to get at a few little birds roosting in its branches.

  • Violence & scariness:

    Huge, fierce-looking birds chase egg collectors.
