Which animal is the nine-colored deer's sidekick?

It's a little bird.

"The Nine-Colored Deer" is an animated art work produced by China's Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, which tells a Buddhist story from Dunhuang murals, in which the Nine-Colored Deer ventures out to save a man who has fallen into the water, but the man betrays the Nine-Colored Deer, and the Nine-Colored Deer finally exposes the ungratefulness of the man's scandalous behavior in front of the king, and the man finally brings about his own demise.

The footage of the Nine-Colored Deer and the bird snuggling with each other makes the image of the Nine-Colored Deer more gentle, reflecting a different kind of warmth and love.

And the warm interaction between the deer and the bird is also the true desire of people's heart for being close to nature and pursuing freedom and warmth.

The bird learns of the danger and immediately flies to report for the nine-colored deer, which is also a fragment of friendship embodied in the whole film. In the midst of betrayal and intrigue, the bird's firm friendship is the light that illuminates the viewer's correct value orientation.

The story of "The Nine-Colored Deer" has a strong religious coloring, promoting the ideas of "self-sacrifice to save others" and "retribution for good and evil", and at the same time, it also embodies the precious theme of friendship through the detail of the bird as a friend.
