17 Popular Angry Bird Names
1. Red
The iconic face of the Angry Birds franchise, Red is a Northern Cardinal known for his short temper, leadership skills, and intense hatred of the green pigs. As the natural and de facto leader of the main flock, Red developed his anger issues after being abandoned by his parents before hatching and experiencing bullying from other birds [1].
As the main protagonist in both the first game and the Angry Birds Movie, Red's character has evolved from a grumpy outcast to a reluctant hero who protects Bird Island from pigs who try to steal their eggs.
2. Stella
Stella is an adventurous and friendly pink Galah who leads her group of birds, Stella's flock. First appearing in Angry Birds Stella, she's characterized by her positive attitude and fearlessness. Unlike most birds in the Angry Birds series, this girl bird approaches challenges with optimism rather than anger, making her a refreshing counterbalance to Red's perpetual frustration.
3. Chuck
Charles "Chuck" is the yellow Angry Bird based on an Atlantic Canary. One of the original five birds and a member of the flock close to Red, Chuck, provides comic relief with his hyperactive personality and narcissistic tendencies. His special ability is unmatched speed, making him the fastest bird capable of reaching up to 100 mph, which is invaluable during missions against the pigs.
Chuck's speedster abilities translate to gameplay mechanics. When tapped, he accelerates mid-flight, helping players in Angry Birds Classic and beyond.
4. Bubbles
Bubbles, the orange Jamaican Oriole with unique inflating abilities, joined the flock in later game iterations. Unlike most angry birds, Bubbles maintains a cheerful, smiling expression even during battle. His special ability allows him to expand like a balloon when tapped, destroying obstacles from the inside out.
His sweet tooth is legendary among Red's flock — he's the only character with an insatiable appetite for candy and sweets, often featured in seasonal Angry Birds Seasons events.
5. Bomb
Also known as the Black Bird, Bomb is another member of Red’s flock, resembling a Myna Bird or Greater Antillean Bullfinch.
He is also the only Angry Birds character that works as an improvised explosive device (IED), causing many problems on Bird Island [2].
6. Silver
Silver, a standout character from Angry Birds 2, resembles a gray falcon with varying designs across games and movies. As Chuck's younger sister (sometimes referred to as Red's younger sister in certain game appearances), she combines intellect with athletic ability. Silver performs loop-de-loops in mid-air and has emerged as Red's love interest in the movie franchise.
Her engineering background makes her the go-to bird for technical problems in the main flock that require more than anger to solve, especially when dealing with the pigs' Big Setup.
7. Hal
Based on an Emerald Toucanet, Hal is the "Boomerang Bird" in the flock. His distinctive curved beak allows him to loop back after being launched, hitting targets from behind. Part of the flock that expanded beyond the original five, Hal stands out for his sociable personality and passion for camping and playing the banjo.
In the games, Hal has been rescued twice by the rest of the flock, cementing his role as both savior and saved within the game's narrative.
8. Matilda
Matilda, the White Bird, based on a chicken, serves as the head of the Anger Management Class for the other flock members. Her contradictory nature — promoting peace while harboring explosive tendencies — makes her one of the more complex characters in the franchise.
In gameplay, Matilda's special ability to lay explosive eggs mid-flight and continue on her trajectory makes her unique among the birds. Her maternal instincts extend beyond her relationship with Terence (whom she married) to the entire Piggy Kingdom conflict.
9. Blues
The Blues — Jay, Jake, and Jim — are identical triplets based on Eastern Bluebirds. These mischievous hatchlings first appeared in the original game's levels and have since starred in their spin-off series, where they encounter minion pig characters frequently.
Their special ability allows them to split into three separate birds when tapped during flight, tripling their destructive potential against pig structures. This makes them essential for players hunting golden egg rewards.

10. Terence
Terence (the "Big Bird") is the most powerful member of the main flock. This enormous red cardinal strongly resembles a version of Red but dwarfs his size and strength. In early game appearances, Terence is sometimes described as Red's cousin, but he's a key part of Red and the rest of the original five birds.
Despite his intimidating appearance and tremendous destructive capability, Terence is the silent type who prefers a peaceful life. His gameplay function is simple but effective—pure brute force to smash through the strongest pig defenses, similar to how Mighty Eagle functions as a power-up option.
11. King Pig
Despite his less-than-impressive intellect, King Pig Smooth Cheeks rules the Piggy Kingdom and the green bad piggies with an iron hoof. His obsession with stealing the eggs drives the central conflict of the entire franchise from the Hogs and Kisses episode to the latest games.
Characterized by his golden crown, bloated appearance, and childish personality, King Pig embodies greed and entitlement in Piggy Island society. His royal court includes an artistic minion pig called Artist Pig, who creates royal portraits, and Corporal Pig, who handles military operations.
12. The Hatchlings
The Hatchlings stole fans' hearts when they were introduced in The Angry Birds Movie. Based on their parents, these newborn baby birds come in various colours and appearances, but they share defining features: tiny hands and feet, diminutive beaks, and disproportionately large eyes.
Their adorable antics and innocent mischief provide comic relief throughout the films and spin-off content, making them fan favorites despite their minor roles. The pigs stole the eggs multiple times before hatching into these lovable characters.
13. Courtney
Debuting in The Angry Birds Movie 2, Courtney is a pig assistant characterized as an entitled millennial constantly glued to her smartphone. Despite her distracted appearance, she is one of the most efficient helpers in the Piggy Kingdom's schemes.
Her distinctive look includes braces, hot pink headphones, and a smartphone that's practically an extension of herself, representing how technology has infiltrated even pig society, contrasting with the more traditional Professor Pig character.
14. Garry
Garry serves as the Q-like inventor for the pig forces, overseeing the development of high-tech gadgets at Pig Lab. His character channels the stereotypical mad scientist, complete with an oversized mustache and thick glasses, similar to Professor Pig but with a more devious intent.
Though arrogant, Garry's inventions prove crucial in the pigs' schemes against the birds, demonstrating that the conflict isn't just about brute force but also technological innovation, particularly when they face space pigs or the space flock in Angry Birds Space.
15. Bad Piggies
The spin-off game Bad Piggies focuses on Ross, a young freckled pig with a talent for creating transport vehicles. These pigs, raised by the pigs hierarchy, include other specialized members like Corporal Pig, who trains the pig army, and Handsome Pig, who serves as comic relief through his unrequited crush on Bad Princess Gale.
These piggies demonstrate that the antagonist faction has its society and culture beyond simply being targets for angry birds to knock down. Birds even raised some pigs, creating complex dynamics in Rovio's expanding universe.
16. Zeta
Introduced in The Angry Birds Movie 2, Zeta rules Eagle Island and schemes to transform Bird Island and Piggy Island into her paradise. Based on the Philippine Eagle, Zeta's character adds complexity to the franchise by revealing herself as Mighty Eagle's ex-wife and mother to Debbie.
In earlier iterations, her ice-based weapons represented a technological advancement exclusive to Angry Birds Space, but now they force birds and pigs to unite against a common threat. She's a formidable foe that even the Ice Bird from the space flock would find challenging.
17. Mighty Eagle
Ethan "Mighty Eagle" is a giant bald eagle renowned throughout Bird Island as a legendary hero. In the original games, Mighty Eagle is a super-powered aid that players can summon (for sardines) to clear difficult levels with objects and pigs scattered everywhere.
The movies recontextualize him as a fallen hero past his prime, once great but now out of shape and cowardly. This contrast between legend and reality creates one of the more nuanced character arcs in the franchise, further explored in Red's Mighty Feathers episodes. As a friendly bird despite his size, he occasionally helps with back-to-school events for the hatchlings.
movie, he is portrayed as a legend who is weaker and a coward for being out of shape.
