ABOUT THE SHOW
Watch here to meet the birds of Bird Call
Perched high atop the Nestling Mast, a towering wooden structure in the heart of a quiet neighborhood, sits an old vintage radio—its dials long forgotten by human hands. But this is no ordinary relic. To the untrained eye, it’s just another cluster of birdhouses blending seamlessly into the backyard scenery. Yet, behind its unassuming exterior lies W.I.N.G. Bird Call Radio, a fully operational broadcasting station, meticulously retrofitted by its feathery inhabitants.
Here, an eccentric flock of birds fills the airwaves with music, talk shows, and, of course, their signature bird calls—transmitting far beyond the reach of human ears. Below the mast, an intricate network of birdhouses serves as bustling studios, chaotic offices, and cozy living quarters for the station’s lively personalities. Meanwhile, the clueless humans of the neighborhood remain utterly baffled, left scratching their heads at the strange voices, mysterious jingles, and occasional bursts of squawking laughter echoing from the trees. Little do they know, the greatest radio show in the bird world is happening right above them.
The Birds of W.I.N.G.
At the heart of W.I.N.G. Bird Call Radio is a wildly eccentric flock, each bird bringing their own quirks, talents, and occasional chaos to keep the station alive—often by sheer luck. From smooth-talking DJs to overzealous announcers, sharp-witted producers, and one too many questionable ideas from their bumbling boss, this feathery crew navigates the highs and lows of radio broadcasting with plenty of squawks and surprises. Whether they’re airing the latest hit songs, debating the hottest topics, or scrambling to prevent total station meltdown, one thing is certain—no day at W.I.N.G. is ever just another day on the airwaves.
Mr. Chicker: The bumbling, ratings-obsessed station manager whose focus on quantity over quality often leads to chaos. Despite his questionable leadership, he has a knack for rallying the team when it matters most.
Francise Birdling: The sharp-tongued, no-nonsense Programming Director who frequently butts heads with Chicker. Francise is the glue that keeps W.I.N.G. from falling apart, even if it means juggling absurd challenges daily.
Luckl-Duckl Bird: A rare Dodoramius who writes and performs commercial jingles for the station. Luckl has big dreams of hosting his own show at W.I.N.G. Luckl’s enthusiasm and determination to prove himself makes him the heart of the show. He’s often joined by…
Speck: A pyromaniac canary and Luckl’s mischievous sidekick. Together, they handle sponsor spots and on-air antics, though their escapades often cause more problems than they solve. Speck serves as the station’s mascot.
Fowl Owl: The pompous and opinionated host of the hot-topic panel show Fowl Mouth. With his need to be right about everything, Fowl Owl will stop at nothing to prove he’s the smartest in the room—whether he is or not.
Kesmoe Peapod: The laid-back DJ of Flock’n’Rock, who lives for smooth tunes and a steady supply of catnip. Kesmoe’s chill demeanor balances the chaos around him.
Koo Foo Crane: The overly reserved news and weather anchor of The Early Bird Hour. His reports are thorough but delivered with an almost unsettling calm.
Dillon Quailstein: The short-tempered station intern who’s determined to prove his worth despite his small stature and even smaller patience.
A Rival Flock: K.L.A.W.
Just across the neighborhood in the yard of young artist Harriet Dinseldorf lies W.I.N.G.’s arch-nemesis, 89.4 K.L.A.W. This ever-failing station is helmed by the conniving Grizzle Ingrid, a manipulative bird with a vendetta against humans and a penchant for propaganda.
Grizzle’s ragtag crew includes:
Pinky the Worm: Her hapless assistant, caught in a constant state of reluctant servitude.
Poe Raven: A brooding reporter who thrives on dark and ominous news.
Buzzard Beak: A mercenary scavenger willing to turn any bird into roadkill for the right price.
Grizzle’s schemes often involve using Harriet’s cat Henry or her “crownies,” a terrifying flock of loyal henchbirds, to sabotage W.I.N.G. But no matter how elaborate her plans, the flock of W.I.N.G. finds a way to outsmart her bird brained schemes.
The Humans of the Neighborhood
While the birds carry out their secret broadcasts, the humans around the neighborhood remain oblivious to their activities.
The Nestling Mast in Wally’s backyard.
Wally Zutman: A quirky philosophy professor with an obsessive curiosity about the birds in his yard. He’s convinced they’re up to something but struggles to prove it.
Harriet Dinseldorf: Wally’s neighbor and an aspiring artist who thinks Wally’s theories are absurd. Despite his persistence, Harriet always misses the birds in action, leaving her to believe Wally might be losing his grip on reality.
Bird Call is more than a comedy; it’s a celebration of diversity, teamwork, and the power of friendship. Each member of the flock brings their unique personality and skills to the table, demonstrating that even the most unlikely group can come together to achieve greatness. In a world that often feels divided, Bird Call reminds us that we’re stronger when we work together—just like “birds of a feather.”
With a blend of humor, heart, and talon-tapping moments, Bird Call is a high-flying adventure that will leave audiences laughing, singing, and inspired to sing out loud and proud of their own ‘bird call’.
