Research - Shorts - "KnickKnack" and "For the Birds"

I've been watching shorts and enjoyed the recommended "KnickKNack". The motivation of the snowman is so clear, that's missing in both Dee and Rosa. I think maybe in the opening shot where Dee is at the birdbath I'll have her look in the water at her reflection and maybe make her say hello or bow like she's trying to make a friend .. and then she sees Rosa. Just a quick moment but I think it will set the stage. Then she's happy "Oh, there's another bird here".
