Actually I always thought birds are written as arrogant cause of the term "Cocky". Cause cocks are usually big show off to hens. lol

That's typically how it is. That's also what makes it easier for the viewer to laugh when abuse or misfortune happens to them. It would be the opposite case if they were written more sympathetically, but that's not often the case with birds.

See I know what you mean. Because people tend to make Weasel Characters these cowardly lil wimps. When in reality Weasels are a gutsy group of apex predators. Just lil tubes of crazy. XD

I was actually going to comment on that last one, then I fell asleep XD
In your opinion what are some good bird characters out there in the media?
rn I can only think of Falco from startfox and Kazooie from Banjo&Kazooie that I like, rude birds are apparently my favorite kind of bird character XD

I can appreciate rude bird characters on their own, but I feel they also set an unfavorable precedent for other bird characters. They're kind of expected to be rude, and that leaves less room for them to be other things.

I see Kazooie being used as a blunt object in Smash Bros. because she "deserves" it. She's a mean character. There's not much room for us to admire her for reasons beyond sardonic ones. She's a fun nostalgic character with a cute design... but she's also the object of abuse for the other characters because she's written as abusive herself. That's why you're suppose to laugh when Banjo strangles her or slams her into the ground. It's a precedent set for pretty much most well-known bird characters, even the ones that are given really cute designs.

To answer your question, I'd say Mordecai from Regular Show is a great example of a bird character who's written in a way the viewer can resonate with on a deeper level. He's J.G. Quintel's self-insert, so naturally Mordecai was written in a way that made him relatable to anyone watching the show. He had flaws, but he also had a lot of emotional depth. I'd like to see that in more bird characters, rather than "SQUAWK, I'm loud and mean! Now to get my comeuppance from the characters the audience is suppose to love more!"

I know Kass has kind of taken the internet by storm. I don't really know much about him, but judging by the art I've seen, he's depicted as rather friendly and nice, while still being birdlike in the fact that he plays music.

He was a breath a fresh air. I remember feeling happy with how he was received. It's not very often we get a bird character the internet can consider "wife" or "husband" material, but Kass ended up being one of those rare exceptions. All it took was giving him a good design and an affable personality.
