  • Casting Gag: Peter Dinklage, an actor with dwarfism, plays Mighty Eagle, who is physically the biggest character in the film.
  • Celebrity Voice Actor:
    • In the Mexican Spanish dub, Red, Matilda and Chuck are voiced by Mexican actors Adrian Uribe, Luz María Zetina and Faisy Omar respectively. The Mighty Eagle is voiced by radio DJ and TV host Rafael Basaldúa aka "Bazooka Joe".

    • In the Brazilian dub, Red, Matilda and Chuck are voiced by Brazilian comedians Marcelo Adnet (who had previously done dub work for Zookeeper), Dani Calabresa (who previously voiced Disgust in the dub of Inside Out) and Fábio Porchat (who previously voiced Olaf in the dub for Frozen (2013)), while Stella, Hal and Bubbles are voiced by Brazilian internet celebrities, with Stella being voiced by Pathy do Reis and Hal & Bubbles being voiced by The Piologo Brothers
    • In the French dub, Red is voiced by Omar Sy.
    • In the Ukrainian dub, Red is voiced by comedian and future president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
    • In the Italian dub, Red is voiced by comedian Maccio Capatonda, Chuck by radio host Alessandro Cattelan and Matilda by actress Chiara Francini.
  • Children Voicing Children: With one notable exception (Ava Acres voicing Timothy at the start of the movie), most of the young, named birds are voiced by children of matching gender:
    • Bobby, the young purple bird who witnessed Red assaulting Billy the Sign, was voiced by Max Charles, known for portraying young Peter Parker in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' film duology, another Sony venture.
    • Dylan was voiced by Vincent Oswald.
    • Samantha Cohen voices a hatchling named after herself.
    • Young Red in a flashback to Red's past is voiced by Aidan McGraw.
    • The Blues are all voiced by boys, Pierce Gagnon, Noah Schnapp and Owen Wilder Vaccaro. Gagnon also starred in another animated bird film, Rio 2.
  • Cross-Dressing Voices: Ava Acres voicing Timothy, who's a boy.
  • Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: This video featuring comparisons between game and movie characters thinks that Cyrus appeared in the games and Leonard is King Pig.
  • Dawson Casting: Josh Gad and Kate Mckinnon probably had to sound like teenagers to voice Chuck and Stella, respectively.
  • Meta Casting: A Subversion of this trope. Sean Penn is (in)famously known for his Hair-Trigger Temper personality, so it's no surprise that he was cast as one of the titular birds. The catch is that the bird Penn voices is Terence, a.k.a the one bird who doesn't have a single line of dialogue and (aside from a couple of grunts) is almost always silent.
  • The Other Marty: Before the film's release Kallan Holley was reported to voice Young Red in the film, when the film actually released, Aidan McGraw voiced Red's younger self instead.
  • Missing Trailer Scene: A number of scenes that were in the trailers and TV spots did not make it into the film:
  • Playing Against Type: Bill Hader, who previously voiced good guys like Flint Lockwood and Fear, is voicing the Big Bad King Mudbeard.
  • Short Run in Peru: The movie premiered in the UK and Finland a week before it was shown in the US, whilst France was the first to premiere the film - nine days prior.
  • Time-Shifted Actor: Although Jason Sudeikis voices Red in the present, Aidan McGraw voices his younger self instead.
