Synopsis
The movie takes place on Bird Island, an untouched paradise inhabited by birds who are naive and innocent, who know nothing of the outside world. They treasure eggs above all else, and are all carefree and easygoing, except for few.

One of these birds is Red, a societal outcast who has had anger issues from the very beginning. Eventually, his outbursts become too much and he is sentenced to anger management courses, where he meets other misfit birds with similar problems.

The birds are suddenly visited by green pigs, who are dumb but funny. The birds and pigs quickly befriend each other, but Red does not trust the pigs at all. Ultimately, the pigs reveal their true colors, and leads to Red leading the entire flock in a "maddening" frenzy of rightful revenge as well as finding the right means of dealing with rage.

Unlock the Flock

Trivia
He was always made fun of because of his abnormally large eyebrows, giving him the nickname "Eye Brow" (from the official trailer).
 * When the birds are launched from the slingshot, they tuck their legs under their wings, which gives their appearances a spot-on match to their game counterparts.
 * It appears the direct source of Red's anger and solitude was back in his early childhood:
 * In the games, Matilda drops explosive eggs while flying; but in this movie, she expels egg-shaped fireballs that explode on impact.
 * This marks the first appearance of Leonard AKA King Mudbeard.
 * All the birds except Bomb and Hal have their Toons designs, also Bomb is shown to have a tail in the movie.
 * In the film, Mighty Eagle can fly with his whimsical wings.
