History WesternAnimation / Birdz

* SliceOfLife

* XtremeKoolLetterz

* AnAesop: Pretty much every episode, but not as heavy-handedly as most.

* MaliciousSlander: One episode revolves around Eddie spreading false rumors about a creepy old man, some of which he has conflated from a book his father is reading. In the end, the creepy old man gives Eddie AnAesop about how "you can't un-ring a bell".

The show follows the life of Eddie Storkowitz, an 11-year-old blue-feathered bird boy with a big imagination and dreams of becoming a famous moviemaker someday. His mother, Betty, is a professional artist; his father, Morty, is a psychiatrist; and he also has two sisters, his hippie older sister Steffy, and his baby sister Abby. Eddie also attends school, where he crushes on his teacher, Miss Finch, and hangs out with his classmates Sleepy Bat, Gregory Woodpecker, Tommy Turkey, Spring Robin, and Olivia Owl. Other characters include Eddie's principal, Mr. Pip; Morty's regular patient and Storkowitz family friend, Mr. Nuthatch; and the resident cop, Officer Pigeon. All in all, Eddie's world is one where birds live and act a lot like people do, even though they all still fly to get around, live in trees, eat bugs, and migrate south for the winter.

* AnAesop: Pretty much every episode, but not as heavy-handedly as most.

* HumanoidFemaleAnimal: Betty and Miss Finch both qualify.
* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: In "Dollars and Sense", Steffy laughs at a picture of Betty from the 70s.

* MaliciousSlander: One episode revolves around Eddie spreading false rumors about a creepy old man, some of which he has conflated from a book his father is reading. At the end, the creepy old man gives Eddie AnAesop about how "you can't un-ring a bell".

* SplitScreenPhoneCall: in "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". The screen pans so that a character starts out on the right, then moves to the left as they call the next person on down the line.
