** Though it should be noted the grasshoppers have a huge amount of food at their base, to the point Hopper himself said they didn't need to take any more food from the ants, [[ForTheEvulz he just wanted to torment them for the sake of feeling powerful]]. So rather than the ants' fault, it's [[BadBoss Hopper]] who probably starved Thumper with as little offerings as possible to drive him feral and aggressive in order to be the best attack dog he could probably have at hand.

* When certain species of grasshoppers face a food shortage, they begin their transformation into ''locusts'': a more gregarious, aggressive and ravenous morph that devours everything in their path. This probably explains Thumper's feral behavior: the meager offerings of the ants might be triggering the hungry grasshoppers to go into their "locust" phase, and either a.) Thumper was the only one affected, or b.) [[FridgeHorror Thumper is the FIRST one to be affected.]]

* The colony seemed to be more shocked at the fact that the giant bird was not the "warriors'" idea, but Flik's, rather than the revelation that their heroes were only mere circus freak. It's been established before that no one likes his ideas because they would always go wrong. His seed extractor thingy got them into this mess in the first place, so they wouldn't be confident in his ideas getting them out, so that's why Flik never spoke about the bird being his idea (And if the "liar revealed" thing is any indication, he probably said it was the troupe's idea).
** Another Fridge-Awesome moment for you: when the fake bird eventually DOES go wrong (Though with P.T.'s interference rather than its own malfunctions) and Hopper questions who thought up of it, Flik comes out heroically and states that it was his own, being 100% truthful and completing his character arc.

* Hopper didn't realize that the real bird was not a fake until it screeched in his face and gave him a good glimpse at the inside of its mouth. When you recall Molt telling the story of how a blue jay nearly killed him, he mentions that the jay had him at the back of its throat. So, Hopper would know real well firsthand what the inside of a bird's mouth would look like.

* Fridge-Awesome: One grasshopper is just that, a grasshopper. But if it's a swarm of grasshoppers, they're called "''locusts''". Locusts are often the cypher of pestilence, hardship and famine. Regardless what they were up against, Flik and the colony fought against ''a swarm of locusts''!
