Exclusive Clip: Rachel Nichols And Jackson Hurst In A Bird Of The Air

We've got an exclusive clip from the film, in which the two actors undertake a mission to find the owner of the wayward parrot; the mission is a little complicated, though, because Nichols's Fiona insists on bringing her beloved basset hound to the records department to do it.
