Characters
Main characters
- Stella â A pink galah, who is the de facto leader of the flock, being described as adventurous, fierce, friendly, courageous, and bold. Despite being very upset with her former friend Gale for the latter's departure and betrayal in the name of vanity, she still considers Gale a friend.
- Dahlia â A brownish long-eared owl, who acts as the brains of the flock, being a smart inventing genius, as well as the oldest member. However, her inventions and experiments often backfire and become dangerous for others.
- Luca â A sky blue scrub-jay, who is the youngest and only male in the flock. He is very playful and imaginative but gets upset whenever he is treated like a child. Unlike the others, Luca has little to no ill-will towards Gale after the latter left the flock.
- Poppy â A cheeky and slightly crazed light yellow Cockatiel, who has a fondness for music. Poppy often annoys the group with her mischievous personality as well as her tendency to get loud while playing the drums.
- Willow â A shy dark blue western crowned pigeon with feathers resembling dreadlocks (most of which are concealed underneath her signature striped, floppy hat). Despite her shyness, Willow is a very talented artist and specializes in painting portraits. She also plays an older sister figure to Luca.
- Gale â A selfish and extremely vain dark purple violet-backed starling, who is Queen of the minion pigs and a former member of the flock. She left the flock to become the minion pigs' Queen, because, unlike her friends, the pigs were willing to do anything she wanted. Her main goal is to find the Golden Egg, a valuable item, which she believes will grant her wealth and the respect of everyone on Golden Island. Despite leaving the flock, Gale remains highly motivated to keep the attention of her former friends, which often comes into direct conflict with her superiority complex.
Supporting characters
- Handsome Pig, a pig with a blond wig and Gale's right-hand man, who has an unrequited crush on her.
- Minion Pigs, pigs who are assistants of Gale, but annoy her with their witlessness.
- Artist Pig, the pig whom Gale hires to make paintings for her (though his art skills are not to her liking). He later becomes friends with Willow.
