Go To

Bertie makes an effort to impress her mother when she flies in for Fledging Day.


Tropes

  • Alternative Calendar: It's revealed that in this universe, April is "Eggpril", and June is "Jam". According to one of Lisa Hanawalt's Instagram stories, the months in Bird Town go as follows: Birduary, Featherary, Jam, Eggpril, May, Bird June, July, Kakawgust, Septembird, Squawktober, Novembird, and Birdcember.
  • Beard of Sorrow: Tuca draws stubble on Speckle with a marker as he's depressed over being fired.
  • Big Ball of Violence: When a bunch of shoppers fight over the stock of Fledging Day flowers.
  • Call-Back: One of the creepy foot obsessed guys from the season 3 premiere is still leaving foot related comments on Winter Garcia's website.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: There's a paragraph of text about the regurgitation cake that's only on screen for about a second.
    Easily digestible chocolate strawberry ganache cake, baked with a special, airy, lightweight formula that upchucks smoothly and feels like vomiting sugary clouds. You'll be pleased with the consistency as well!
    Want your Regurgitation Cake to go? No problem. Just ask us and we will supply a bucket.
  • Furry Reminder: A traditional ritual for Fledging Day is to regurgitate a prepared meal into the mother's mouths in gratitude for them doing the same with their children.
  • Inflating Body Gag: When Tuca eats a bunch of Fledging Day balloons in a fit of rage, she ends up floating in the air for a short while.
  • Innocently Insensitive: When a cashier playfully asks Tuca if she's called her mother yet, Tuca fires back at her by yelling that her mother is dead.
  • Parental Sexuality Squick: Bertie is creeped out from hearing about her mother's sex life and witnessing her mother reunite with a man she knew who begs her for anal sex.
  • Vomit Indiscretion Shot: A lot of the birds do it for Fledging day, including Bertie. Granted, she does it to try and get her mother out of a situation with a pervert.
