I Am Putting Him In Charge

Even though he's a bird, Marcel acknowledges that Nigel is way more competent and intelligent than his two human henchmen, Armando and Tipa after he ends up seeing that they brought him back two chickens painted blue in a poor attempt to hide the fact that Blu and Jewel escaped. This is proven when Nigel captures the eponymous character and his love interest later on in the film. Armando and Tipa meanwhile are depicted as harmless morons, and of the two Tipa is especially a huge moron while Armando is the smarter of the two though still nevertheless a moron.
