As you recall, when he ate the sardines that the Yellow Bird offered, he said, "What is this canned junk? Bring me fresh food!" He also didn't like the fruits and vegetables the Yellow Bird offered and angrily said, "You call this fresh food?!" When the Red Bird, Yellow Bird, and Blue Brds went to Mighty Eagles lair to ask the Mighty Eagle for help, they were shocked that "Mighty" is actually Mighty Dragon all this time and at the same time, he said, "Nihao, Mighty's little friends!". When Mighty Dragon noticed the Koi Fish on the Red Bird's fishing rod, he said, "I can't stand Mighty's canned junk! Speaking of which, any chance you want to share that one?" Then Yellow said in relief, "So that's what he meant by fresh food!"
