- Anytime Tulip is sad or upset, mainly when Junior admits that he was supposed to fire her, and she nearly starts crying before leaving with Jasper.
- Especially when realization kicks in on the fact that no one (except Junior and some of the flightless birds) wants her around and tries to get rid of her.
- Junior's reacting badly to Tulip being able to go see her "real family".Junior: No no no,I can take care of the baby. You should go now.Tulip: No no no, we have to finish the delivery.Junior: I'm sorry to cut you off. You know what's so funny that just then when you said “real family” that (odd voice) "weirdly hurt my feelings” but I realized how stupid that is. I mean, I'm a bird and you're like a sloppy human and that's not our baby, its just some baby.Tulip: Well, we're not like a family but are like a family.
- The cut between both Junior and Nate as both their hopes and duties are crushed.
- For Nate, his family's given a cease and desist order to stop his "stork signal", and his parents admit they knew storks don't deliver anymore. While still appreciative of getting to spend time, Nate's still crushed, unplugging the primary lights and dumping them in the trash, finally hanging despondently off his mother's legs.
- For Junior, he discovers the location he's been lead to was a trap set by Hunter. And he loses everything. The baby, his job. He's tied up and gagged with a baby sucker, and despite his pleading and sad looks, Hunter decides to send Diamond Destiny to live with Penguins, the little baby reaching for him as she's lead away.
- It's heartwarming, but Junior saying goodbye to the baby when they deliver her to the Gardners, followed by Junior imagining the kid growing from a baby, to a young child, all the way to a young woman getting married.
- Some slight Alternative Character Interpretation comes into play here, but on the short film on the Blu-ray ("Pigeon Toady's Guide to Baby's"), Pigeon Toady calls Tulip and Junior his best friends. Junior politely tries to correct him, saying that they're "work friends," but Pigeon Toady laughs it off as a joke, and calls him "best friend" again. Make of that what you will.
- The variety of parents shown in the ending while heartwarming also shows that how many people wanted children but couldn't for some reason that could be infertility, unlucky with adoption, health issues or some other reasons. The storks were there last hope in getting a child but when the storks stopped delivering babies, that hope is dashed until they decide to deliver babies again in the ending. Notice that quite a few of them also appear to be single parents, including an easy to miss single father.
- While hilarious, seeing the wolf pack form into a broken heart is also kinda sad considering how much they genuinely loved the baby.
