* ''TheAndyGriffithShow'': Opie shoots a bird with a slingshot.  Andy is upset with him, and he has to raise the nestlings the bird was caring for.  Opie learns AnAesop.
* ''TheSimpsons'': Bart shoots a bird with a BB gun.  Marge is upset with him, and he has to raise the eggs the bird had in her nest.  Bart learns AnAesop.  [[SubvertedTrope Except it turns out the bird's eggs were replaced by a parisitic Bolivian Tree Lizard's, which overrun the town and kills many birds.]] [[DoubleSubverted Except the BTLs kill the town's pigeons, which everybody is happy about.]]
* ''TheDickVanDykeShow'': Rob takes home two ducklings which were used as props in a sketch and gives them to Richie.  They grow to adulthood but are sickly because they aren't built for living in suburbia.  One dies, and Rob convinces Richie to let the other go into the wild.  [[FridgeLogic Nothing is mentioned of the fact that the duck is untrained in wild life and will soon be dead.]]
* ''ForBetterOrForWorse'' dealt with the death of the family dog.  (I never really followed the strip so I don't have more details than that.)
