Listening to a podcast jogged a memory I had of skit or short I saw when I was kid. The skit was with puppets and was about a community of birds all with pun names (I think). They were like fairy tale birds where they are dressed and can talk. There is a wolf who is tricking them (a la Little Red Riding Hood) and he calls each one into a room off screen and you hear violent gobbling sounds and feathers flying out of the room as he eats each one (and this was for kids!).

I think it was maybe HBO or Nickelodeon maybe? I think the Goose who gets eaten was named Loosey Goosey but that may be wrong. Does this ring a bell with anyone else?

This is clearly a version of the fairy tale “Chicken Little.” The eponymous protagonist has friends called Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, and Goosey Lucy. They are pursued by Foxy Loxy.

I can’t identify the version that you saw, however.

Yes definitely Chicken Little! I thought as much but was not sure and didn’t want to say. Just not sure where I saw this version.
