Parkta

Parkta is a fictional character and protagonist of the 2018 animated film *The Angry Birds Movie*, as well as its 2022 sequel, *The Angry Birds Movie 2*. Created by the Finnish game developer Rovio Entertainment, Parkta is a red, bird-like creature with a distinctive yellow beak and a calm, philosophical demeanor. Unlike the aggressive, hot-headed birds from the original *Angry Birds* mobile game, Parkta embodies a more introspective and wise personality, serving as a central figure in the narrative.

In the first film, Parkta is a young bird who lives in the peaceful, tree-covered world of Egg Island. He is known for his ability to fly and his deep connection to nature, often reflecting on life’s mysteries. His journey begins when he discovers a hidden cave containing ancient artifacts, including a mysterious egg that holds the key to a forgotten legend. This discovery sets off a chain of events that leads to a conflict with the villainous Terence, a tyrannical pig who seeks to exploit the island’s resources. Parkta’s role evolves from a passive observer to a leader, rallying the other birds to protect their home.

The character’s design and voice acting, provided by actor Jack White, contribute to his unique appeal. Parkta’s voice is soft-spoken and thoughtful, contrasting with the more animated and combative voices of the other birds. His growth throughout the story reflects themes of self-discovery, responsibility, and the importance of community. In *The Angry Birds Movie 2*, Parkta continues to play a pivotal role, this time navigating a new world filled with challenges and new allies.

Parkta’s popularity has extended beyond the films, appearing in merchandise, video games, and other promotional materials. His character has been praised for adding depth to the *Angry Birds* franchise, shifting the focus from destruction to storytelling and emotional development. While he remains a lesser-known figure compared to the original game’s characters, Parkta has become a beloved symbol of wisdom and resilience within the franchise.
