Congratulations to Wave the Swallow for taking home the gold in the main bracket!!!

Round 6 - FINALS

Propaganda under the cut

Wave the Swallow

Jerk birds in video games are common, but Wave is the rare GIRL jerk Bird! Support women's wrongs

(With Jet and Storm, on if iconic or not) (I'd say yes. At least in the Riders trilogy. They're Team Sonic's main foils in those games (aside from Eggman, of course).)

(With Jet and Storm) Since most of the birds we have on this list are arrogant peacocks (pun intended), here's a whole trio of them! But at least these three have the abilities to back up their preening.

she blew up a 15 year old after her 14 year old boss told her not to. also, in the sequel game, she gets concussed and then immediately chooses to hop on her flying skateboard and zoom right into a black hole. oh and in sonic birds are canonically alien-genies

Bird That Carries You Over A Disproportionately Small Gap

(When asked if iconic or not)(Um idk, they got a whole song dedicated to them (bird that carries you over a disproportionately small gap))

The Small Bird tries it’s best every time while a killer song plays

THEY!!! CARRY YOU!!! OVER A DISPROPORTIONATELY SMALL GAP!!!! how kind and helpful of them amirite. one of my favourite minor undertale characters

(when asked if iconic or not) Only in my heart

They’ve got their own theme song

Gustav

he's soooo sillay ngl. ((THIS MAY CONTAIN SPIRITFARER SPOILERS!!!)) aristocrat art curator who just wants to make an epic exhibit. When he was alive, he was wheelchair-bound and often complained about how people pitied him for his disability. If anyone's wondering what he had, he had multiple sclerosis. This bitch (affectionate) loves exotic foods and HATES fried food n sugary shit. He prob hates the USA ngl - this might just be me projecting but, he hates fried food cuz the scent sticks to him- autism, anyone? hm? perchance. Throughout his time on your boat, he shares with you his life (or death) philosophy. I think it's pretty cool, soo ima dump it all here. <3. Pretty much it's like...life is meaningless and random and only has meaning based on what you decide for yourself. He considers art to be the ultimate expression of human's search for meaning and therefore he believes it should be thoroughly preserved. Neat, right? He shares some of this with you on his way to the Everdoor. His spirit flower is a red poppy, representing remembrance and hope. Inspiring, eh?

i dont know this guy but seeing his sprites, he looks very polite and cool (he plays violin and drinks tea? thats pretty neat)

Storm

I mean, someone needs to get knocked out in round one

(with Jet and Storm, when asked if iconic) (I'd say yes. At least in the Riders trilogy. They're Team Sonic's main foils in those games (aside from Eggman, of course).)

(with Jet and Storm) Since most of the birds we have on this list are arrogant peacocks (pun intended), here's a whole trio of them! But at least these three have the abilities to back up their preening.

Berdly

he's a smug lil shit and he sucks so much that it wraps around and almost becomes charming? kinda?

nerd. *shoves him in a locker*

He has good character development, where he comes to terms with his own flaws and moving forward as a better person and standing up against the Queen. I also think his theme is pretty cool and he shows some pretty heroic qualities in the Snowgrave route.

In the battle for third place, against 2 other Legend of Zelda birds, Revali wins, taking Third Place in the Iconic Bracket!

Kass

He is SO FLOOF and MY FRIEND and I miss him and his (not accordion) bandoneon playing and he's just a pretty blue birdie who is also A Dad of 5 girlies. Anyway, I MISS HIIM.

His theme is a banger and he gives you advice and helps Link out in the shrine quest and he plays really cool music. He's also a BBB, big beautiful bird. 🥰🥰

Revali

We love a cocky blue asshole bird

Smug tsundere bird who's not very good at masking his giant crush on Link who actually works really hard to get some recognition and is vastly misunderstood by the majority of the fandom. The fact that he has no living relatives but still fights to protect his home. Instead of requesting for a statue built in his honor or whatever after winning a tournament, he wanted a training ground (the Flight Range) for the Rito children or anyone to train so that they can become stronger. He’s only mean to Link because he thinks Link was handed his Champion title because he could wield the Master Sword, while Revali had to work his whole life just to get to where he is. Anyway, he will be missed, Hylian Pine Cones just aren't the same.

If you attack one a little too much. You'll get stormed by an army of cuccos. You know.
