Tuca & Bertie
Two odd birds. One real friendship.
Created by Lisa Hanawalt
On Adult Swim, Netflix
A surreal, visually inventive comedy about female friendship that balances whimsy and vulnerability through the lens of two anthropomorphic birds navigating life's absurdities.
Free-spirited toucan Tuca and self-doubting song thrush Bertie are best friends – and birds – who guide each other through life's ups and downs.
