The Birds

The Birds are minor characters in the cast that feature at the start and end of every episode. They could be considered a minor subseries of The Hive, and often have short scenes which are directly related to the episodes events.

Description
There are two main birds in the series: one male, one female. While they are both blue, have white stomach patches, have short beaks and blue-and-white wings, the male seems to be slightly taller than the female, while the latter appears to be slightly 'rounder' than the former. The only other character to feature in the series is The Owl, who may occasionally show signs of a relationship with the female when she's lonely. The birds, like nearly all other characters, present signs of anthropomorphism and personification, such as reading and exercising, while still possessing bird-like qualities, such as the ability of flight and the 'skwarking' sounds they make.

Trivia

 * The male bird seems to enjoy sleeping, while the female seems to like surprising him, causing him to wake up and/or fall off the branch they sit on.
 * However, the male often gets revenge by having a backup plan later in the episode, such s pretending to be asleep, then stuffing a berry down a trumpet to stop it from sounding, knocking the female off the branch.
 * In the episode How to be Friends, the male seems to have a stiff wing. Later in the episode, the female helps by adding oil to his wing. It is likely this was just added for humorous effect, but there is a slight chance that these birds could use oil etc., to replace medicines.
