This must represent the nadir of the series; gone is the high quality animation with pleasing backgrounds and in comes poor animation, weird sound effects and an annoying new character.
The short opens with Tom and Jerry sleeping in the sunshine; the shadow of a bird passes over Tom a few times then it lands on him; clearly hurting him in the process. Tom gets up and grabs the bird but Jerry then comes to its rescue. There then follows a succession of events that always leave Tom battered, scolded or otherwise harmed. At no point does it look as though either the bird or Jerry is in any danger even when Tom deploys such over the top weaponry as an anti-aircraft cannon! That in itself is a weapon more suited to a 'Coyote and Roadrunner' short than Tom and Jerry as they tend to use implements more typically found in the setting.
This one certainly isn't worth seeking out unless you are a completist determined to see them all or want to see a really poor episode to help you appreciate the classics all the more!
