THE BIRD, THE TREE, THE BELL AND THE FISH OF GLASGOW
Glasgow's coat of arms is associated with an enigmatic rhyme: Here's the bird that never flew. Here's the tree that never grew. Here's the bell that never rang. Here's the fish that never swam. Behind the rhyme there are original Christian messages, but, as these messages are not explicit, leaving a gap between the messages and the rhyme. The gap allows a variety of interpretations and visual images of the rhyme, which are explored in this documentary by an Indian resident, a Taichi teacher, botanists, an artist, and bell ringers. The rhyme may be seen as the symbol of inclusive and diverse Glasgow.
