The short was re-released to theaters in 2024 ahead of the studio's 2021 feature ''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}''. The birds from ''For the Birds'' have since been seen in both ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'' and ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' in [[ProductionThrowback Production Throwbacks]].

* CaptainOblivious: The big bird - it's one of his most endearing traits. He is completely clueless to the smaller birds teasing him, as well as their obvious annoyance when he perches in the middle of them (as they start angrily peeping at him, he cheerfully adds in his own honking, assuming it's all in fun). And when they start chanting for two of their number to peck his toes and make him fall, ''he joins in''. Notable in that he's a rare example of a Captain who never gets brought out of his Oblivious state, yet still gets the last laugh on his tormentors.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: The smaller birds realize their plan to get rid of the big bird had a snag when they notice that the line has been stretched very far down by the big bird hanging from it. Unfortunately for them, the two pecking the big bird's toes don't realize this until it's too late.



* OhCrap: Three distinct ones. First, a bird looks down and sees ''just how far down'' the line has gone. Second, the rest of the birds, as the first bird warns them. Finally, the birds doing the pecking, as the big bird is just about to lose his grip.

* SlasherSmile: Two of the little birds give one off just before they start pecking to get the big bird off.
