    I'm trying to locate a short MPEG video clip that was bundled with codec or multimedia developer software around 1999–2002 (possibly slightly earlier). My son and I used to watch it years ago and I'd love to find it again.

    What I remember about the clip:

    Format: MPEG-1 (.mpg or .m1v)

    Duration: about 8–12 seconds

    Looping animation

    Resolution likely 352×240 (SIF)

    Content of the clip:

    A blue cartoon bird (parrot-like) hovering in place

    Large orange/yellow beak

    Big white cartoon eyes with black pupils

    Rounded wings flapping

    Visible dangling legs

    Bird faces slightly toward the camera

    Background is a flat saturated blue sky

    The bird drifts slightly while hovering

    About halfway through the clip:

    The bird pauses

    its face grimaces / strains

    it drops a white blob (bird droppings) downward

    then resumes hovering

    The clip loops continuously.

    Context where I saw it:

    It came with codec-related or multimedia software

    Possibly bundled with:

    MPEG encoder / player software

    Sound Blaster multimedia demo CDs

    VideoCD tools

    Xing MPEG player

    RealMagic MPEG hardware drivers

    The file may have been named something generic like:

    bird.mpg
    demo.mpg
    anim2.mpg
    sample.mpg

    Does anyone remember this clip or know which CD / software package it shipped with? Or better yet have a youtube link of the clip

    I'd love to recover the original file if it still exists somewhere.

    Thanks
    Dave
