Animals given human characteristics are common in cartoons and comics, especially cats and dogs. On the other hand, birds are a prominent and memorable set of characters we enjoy following in these tales. Birds are recurring characters in many cartoons because of their unique ability to both talk and be quite specific.
Each type of bird, from penguins and parrots to macaws and seagulls, has its own unique set of characteristics that make it stand out. There are a plethora of great bird characters in comics and cartoons, but we’ve narrowed it down our favorites.

2. Road runner
The roar runner is another well-known bird. In every episode, the coyote Will E. Coyote tries to catch the roar runner but is always unsuccessful. Coyote is cunning and cruel, and he will not give up on his goal of devouring it. Sometimes he gets it, but he never gets it in his mouth.
