Characters edit
- The Blues are the three triplets Jake, Jay, and Jim. They are mischievous and smart, and either succeed or hilariously fail on their plans but no matter what happens, they carry on. To distinguish the three in this series (and also earlier in The Angry Birds Movie), each triplet has different eye coloration: Jay has blue irises, Jake has teal irises, and Jim has brown irises. Jay is the confident, know-it-all oldest brother and the leader of the Blues, Jake is the laid-back middle-hatched brother and a mischief-schemer, and Jim is the kind-hearted, but a shy and wacky little brother. The Blues are voiced by Heljä Heikkinen, Vilppu Uusitalo and Vertti Uusitalo in this series. Jay is the leader of the blues and is voiced by JoJo Siwa in The Angry Birds Movie 2.
- Zoe is a pink hatchling which is very curious, especially when it comes to the Blues' interesting plans. She thinks that everything is fun. She was voiced by Brooklynn Prince in The Angry Birds Movie 2.
- Will is a purple hatchling who mostly helps the other Hatchlings if they are doing something.
- Vincent is a green hatchling who always interacts with his surroundings.
- Arianna is an orange hatchling who made her first appearance in "Flight Club".
- Samantha is a light yellow (or white)hatchling that made her first appearance in The Cutest Weapon. She had also starred in a short called "The Early Hatchling Gets the Worm" in which she forms an unlikely friendship with a worm that she adopts. She also met Red while crossing the village's main street, blowing a raspberry at him in the film.
- Olive Blue is the mother of the Blues who appeared in The Angry Birds Movie, and made her Angry Birds Blues debut in "The Cutest Weapon". In this series, Olive is voiced by Heljä Heikkinen, but in the film she is voiced by Danielle Brooks.
- Greg Blue is the father of the Blues who appeared in The Angry Birds Movie, and made his Angry Birds Blues debut in "Knights of the BBQ". In this series, Greg is voiced by Antti Pääkkönen, but in the film he is voiced by Kevin Bigley.
