The Lion's Busy

This encore from 2012 features a Mortimer Snerd-ish buzzard and an Irish lion.  It seems that lions rarely lived longer than 10 years in those days, and the lion was celebrating his 10th birthday, so the buzzard was looking for a meal.  From the Internet Archive, here is the 1948 Warner Bros. animated short, The Lion's Busy.
