No one would argue that Giraffe and Bird are an odd pair. Spat, scrap, and squabble--they almost always get on each other's nerves.


It's true that getting along can be difficult. If the bird could tell you, he'd say he can't stand the giraffe. And if the giraffe could tell you, he'd say he can't abide the bird.
