Plot
Red lives on Bird Island and is infamous for having severe anger issues. He has an outburst after he runs late to a child's birthday party and is later sentenced to anger management class in court. There, he meets Matilda, Chuck, Terence, and Bomb. Red avoids spending time with them.
The next day, a boat arrives on the shore of Bird Island and destroys Red's house with its anchor. Leonard, a pig, steps off the ship with his first officer Ross and gains the birds' friendship, except for Red. After getting kicked out of a party held by the pigs, Red invites Chuck and Bomb to sneak onto the pigs' boat; Red is suspicious that they're hiding something. They accidentally find a bunch of pigs hiding inside the ship. Red returns to the party to expose the pigs, which fails due to the birds' lack of trust in Red.
As the pigs introduce more of their culture to Bird Island, Red unwillingly asks Chuck and Bomb to help him climb the tallest mountain in the middle of the island to recruit Mighty Eagle. Upon reaching the top, they find that Mighty Eagle is retired and has become lazy. While the trio was gone, the pigs had built a disco to distract the birds and steal their eggs. The three birds rush back down to the village but fail to stop the pigs from getting away with all of the eggs.
The next morning, the islanders apologise to Red and ask him to be their leader. Red rallies them to built a boat, sail to Piggy Island and use a slingshot to break into their castle whilst attacking the city. Red, Chuck, and Bomb make it in before Terence accidentally breaks the slingshot.
Before the pigs can cook the eggs for a feast, the birds almost manage to steal back the eggs with the help of Mighty Eagle before they are stopped by Leonard. An egg falls out of the net carrying all of the eggs, which Red sacrifices himself to go back for. After a lengthy fight, Red and Leonard end up in the castle's TNT storage basement and continue brawling for the egg. Red uses his anger to regain the egg and is shielded from the exploding TNT under a fallen cauldron. With the city destroyed, Red returns to the flock with the egg, which has hatched into The Blues, and gives the hatchlings to their parents.
Upon returning home, the islanders thank Red by rebuilding his house in the village, which Red invites his new friends Chuck and Bomb into. In a mid-credits scene, Leonard tells Ross that he is "hatching a new plan".
