The Bird Came C.O.D. is the third episode from the 1942 season of the classic animated series, Looney Tunes. The episode features the iconic character, Daffy Duck, as he tries to make some easy money by exploiting a delivery mix-up.
The episode begins with Daffy Duck receiving a telegram from his friend, a carnival owner, requesting him to deliver a rare, exotic bird to his carnival. The telegram also notes that the bird is being shipped "C.O.D.", meaning that Daffy will have to pay for the bird upon delivery.
Excited at the prospect of making some easy cash, Daffy sets off to retrieve the bird. However, things don't go quite as planned when he arrives at the train station. He discovers that the bird has already been delivered to a nearby millionaire's house.
Not one to give up easily, Daffy sets off to the millionaire's mansion to retrieve the bird. Once he arrives at the mansion, he uses various disguises to try to get the bird from the millionaire's butler.

As the episode progresses, Daffy's frustration grows as he realizes that he may not be able to collect the bird and get paid. However, his determination to succeed prompts him to come up with a new plan. He decides to disguise himself as an exterminator to gain access to the millionaire's house and retrieve the bird.
Once inside the mansion, Daffy finds the bird and tries to make a run for it. But his success is short-lived as he bumps into the millionaire. In a panic, Daffy tries to convince the millionaire that the bird is actually a rare and valuable racing pigeon that he is returning to its rightful owner.
The millionaire is initially skeptical but is eventually convinced by Daffy's convincing and elaborate story. Believing that he has now acquired a valuable racing pigeon, the millionaire agrees to buy the bird from Daffy.
With the bird now sold, Daffy happily heads back to the carnival to claim his payment. However, his hopes are once again dashed when he discovers that the bird he thought he sold was actually a common street pigeon. He is left empty-handed and defeated.
