If it's of any value, here's how Angry Birds: Hatching a Universe describes Red:

''In the backstory that was developed for the Angry Birds franchise, the overarching narrative focuses on a group of rare birds who live on the isolated Piggy Island. They are guarding three eggs, which they believe to be the only offspring of their species. Unfortunately, the egg hunting Bad Piggies also inhabit the island. The Angry Birds are protecting their precious eggs hoping that one day they will hatch and there could be peace on the island.''

''The Red Bird — a Desert Cardinal species — is the de facto leader of the flock and, more pertinently, he's the angriest bird of the lot! Having found the three eggs on Piggy Island, Red is vastly overprotective of them and typically over-reacts to the slightest threat to their safety, driving him in to a berserk rage. Despite his youth, Red is a kind of father figure to the other Angry Birds. Red knows that no one else will take responsibility, so he is forced to do so. When the eggs have hatched, Red will have done his duty and will be able to forget the burden of leadership and finally embrace the carefree nature of his age.''

This is the whole point of the episode, depicting the relationship between Red and the eggs, how no other bird is fit for looking after the eggs, and how deeply this effects Red.
