Description
After learning, in DISinformation, that losing his feathers (moulting) is a perfectly natural part of life. In Discombobulation, Woody the Canary is told by his so-called buddy, Sir Humphrey, the Princess Parrot, that his trilling song is dis-com-bob-u-lat-ing to all his feathered friends.
Woody can hardly say the word, let alone track down who finds his song so unpleasant.
He does the rounds of the forest, with Sir Humphrey grilling the other birds to find out who is the source of the complaint, but each and every interviewee claims to love Woody's singing.
It's left up to the Wise Old Owl to reveal the nay-sayer. Woody masters a new word - and discovers to his surprise who the jealous grumbler is!
