Evidently, the favored bird is the black orbicular character. The graphic reads, "Like hunting bunny rabbits with a hydrogen bomb." As the birds get more mediocre, or disliked the accompanying comments become more and more hilarious. The red bird is pretty useless, described as a "fun bird to use if you enjoy the feeling of throwing ping pong balls at a navy destroyer." However, the ultimate in unlikable is the green bird. The Oatmeal says, "If this were a bird in real life, I'd stir-fry it all the way back to the endangered species list."
