* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Greenie becomes the guard duck of his flock and is able to set out and see the world while Leafie lets herself be eaten by One-Eye so the weasel babies can survive.]]

* LifeMeter: When Leafie escapes the farm, she places a flower in her tail feathers. [[spoiler:As she becomes sickly over time, more and more petals fall from it. By the end of the film, it has withered away and died. Leafie’s own death occurs shortly afterwards.]]

* NamedAfterTheInjury: One-Eye the weasel gets her name from the fact that she's missing an eye, and she has a scar where it should be. However, in the English dub, this is averted, as [[NoNameGiven she is nameless]].

* SecretlyDying: Since the marsh is not a good environment for a domestic hen, Leafie gets sicker as time passes on, and it’s strongly implied that she wouldn’t survive the winter. And yet, she hides it from her adoptive son. At the end of the movie, [[spoiler: she doesn’t die because of her illness, but because of a HeroicSacrifice.]]

* CarnivoreConfusion: Brutally subverted. The film makes it abundantly clear that predator animals will hunt and kill the others, despite both groups being sapient.

* MamaBear: Leafie. Or as one may call her, a Mama Hen. [[spoiler:Even to the extent of a HeroicSacrifice.]] [[spoiler:One-Eye is also revealed to be one]], making them NotSoDifferent.

* BlatantLies: [[spoiler:Leafie's reassurance that she will wait for Greenie, (though its strongly implied that both mother and son knew that this was the final time they'd see each other) She sacrifices herself to One-Eye instead so that another mother won't have to watch her children die.]]

* BlatantLies: [[spoiler:Leafie's reassurance that she will wait for Greenie. She sacrifices herself to One-Eye instead so that another mother won't have to watch her children die.]]

* DubInducedPlotHole: The dubs that omit [[spoiler: Leafie's death]] don't offer an answer to the question of whether or not [[spoiler: One-Eye's children ever received any nourishment]].

* ScavengersAreScum: Eventually subverted. The one-eyed weasel is depicted both scavenging and hunting, and in fact [[spoiler:kills both of Greenie's biological parents]]. She's the closest thing to the BigBad the film has. It's later averted when it's shown [[spoiler:she is not any worse than the birds are. She is just trying to eat.]] In fact the film ends with [[spoiler:Leafie [[HeroicSacrifice allowing the weasel]] [[TheHeroDies to eat her]] in order for her to produce milk for her newborns]].
