These Mike du jour ecards are pencil drawn character animation and this ecard begins with a man playing chess alone at a chess table in a park. A bird is sitting on the chair across the man. Whenever the man tries to move a chess piece, the word chirp appears about the bird. The man finally moves one of the pieces looking satisfied and the word chirp-mate appears above the bird. We move to the next screen with the final banner words happy chirpday.
