''Flirty Birdy'' is a 1945 cartoon in the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' series of theatrical shorts, directed by [[Creator/HannaBarbera William Hanna and Joseph Barbera]] and produced by Fred Quimby.
One day, Tom lures Jerry into a sandwich and is about to eat him, but before he can take a bite out of his mouse sandwich, a hawk flies by and steals the sandwich away from him. As it turns out, the hawk, being a bird of prey, wants to have Jerry in his stomach too. After an unsuccessful attempt to retrieve Jerry from the hawk, Tom then gets the idea to pass himself off as a female hawk and capture the affection of his avian competitor. It works... a little ''too'' well.
----
!!Tropes:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Once the hawk wants to make out with the disguised Tom, he becomes this.
* AccidentalKiss: Accidental for Tom, intentionally for the eagle. At one point, when the eagle tries to kiss the disguised Tom, Jerry makes it happen by pulling the cat's fake beak and making it push the cat and bird together. The eagle leaps into the air with delight, and Tom quickly snatches Jerry and hides him in his dress before he comes down.
* AssInALionSkin: Tom passes himself off as a female hawk in an attempt to retrieve Jerry from the hawk, though his disguise barely looks bird-like.
* BeakAttack: The hawk clobbers Tom on the head with his beak twice before tossing him down to the pavement.
* CatchAFallingStar: Tom makes a run for it and jumps off of the roof with Jerry. Before he can make contact with the ground, however, the hawk catches him in his arms, lets out a happy call and tries to kiss him when the cat gets away.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The title card features Tom glancing up at a birdhouse with a little bird on it. While the other character in the short is indeed a bird, it is instead a hawk that is roughly the same size as Tom. The short also doesn't contain a birdhouse either.
* DisguisedInDrag: Tom isn't just disguised as a hawk, he's disguised as a female one.
* EggLayingMale: Implied. The final scene of the short shows the clearly male and feline Tom sitting on a nest containing eggs.
* EurekaMoment: After being sent out of the hawk's tree a second time, Tom is about to throw away the feather duster and dress when he realizes that he can pass himself off as another hawk with them.
* EyelashFluttering: Tom does this several times to make his female hawk disguise more convincing, and when he hides behind the chimney, one of his eyelashes even acts like a beckoning finger.
* EyePop: The hawk's eyes and eyebrows pop out from their owner's face the very moment he spots a disguised Tom.
* FeatheredFiend: Downplayed. The hawk, while not particularly mean or evil, is just a predator looking for a meal and tries to eat Jerry. At the end of the cartoon, he abandons his plans to eat Jerry and even thanks him when the mouse hands him a rope that restrains Tom.

* GrappleMove: Non-video game example. At one point, Tom tosses the hawk over his shoulder and slams him on the ground, but when he is about to shake hands with Jerry, the mouse does the same thing to him.
* ImpactSilhouette: Downplayed. The hole made by Tom when the hawk throws him down to the pavement is body-shaped, but contains no details such as his ears and tail.
* InterspeciesRomance: While the hawk isn't particularly friendly towards Tom, who is a cat, he immediately falls head over heels for him when he sees him disguised as a female hawk. They even end up married at the end of the cartoon.
* LuredIntoATrap: Tom lures Jerry onto a sandwich with trails of cheese at the beginning of the cartoon.
* PainToTheAss: As Tom is romancing the hawk with his disguise, Jerry, who has been tucked away in the former's dress, sticks a pin in the cat's rear, enacting a yell of pain from him.
* PalatePropping: When the hawk tries to eat Jerry between slices of bread, the mouse pushes the bird's beak up and even fastens it in place before kicking the bread slices away. The hawk then closes his beak on Jerry, who emerges through one of his nostrils and [[EyeScream kicks him in the eye]].

* RunningGag: The party horn acting as Tom's "beak" being sounded and the hawk's enthusiastic call.
* StandardSnippet: "Here Comes the Bride" is played as the hawk pulls Tom towards him near the end of the short.
