From Season 17 of Walt Disney's Disneyland Anthology program we have Episode 11: It's Tough to Be a Bird, which originally aired on December 13th, 1970. This is an extended version of the 1969 theatrical release that won an Academy Award for Best Cartoon Subject. The central character is M.C. Bird, who arrives amid a flurry of gunfire. He complains that humans are a constant problem for birds. He believes we both admire and hate birds for their ability to fly. Starring Richard Bakalyan as the voice of M.C. Bird and Ruth Buzzi who sings the song, "When the Buzzards Return to Hinckley Ridge." Due to copyright an extended clip of The Three Caballeros has been removed.

At the end of the episode is a bonus five-minute clip featuring great VHS releases...given the source of this upload is an old VHS! Note that about 5 minutes of video has been edited out for content. It is a clip from the True-Life Adventures film, "Water Birds", specifically, the montage with the Hungarian Rhapsody soundtrack, which occurs at the end of original production.
