Zeta (originally known as Zelda in concept art) is a purple eagle who serves as the main antagonist of The Angry Birds Movie 2, who has redeemed herself.
Appearance[]
Zeta is a tall purple anthropomorphic Philippine Eagle with green eyes, black eyelashes, and a curved light purple beak with three sharp teeth (two on the left side of the beak, and one on the opposite side) sticking out of it. As was shown in the memoirs of the Mighty Eagle, in his youth Zeta wore braces and at that time her teeth were the same as those of the eagles. Her long body is mostly white in front and purple in back, and on the end of it, there are a lot of white and purple feathers above two legs with claws of the same color of the beak. She also has feathers that resemble a wedding dress.
Personality[]
Zeta is the frustrated ice queen of Eagle Island. This gangly leader of the eagles is tired of living (and shivering) on a frozen rock of snow and ice and dreams of one day sipping piña coladas on the warm, tropical beaches of Bird Island and Piggy Island. She's an avid swimmer, loves sunsets and walks on the beach, and desperately yearns for a long, hot shower.
Media appearance[]
The Angry Birds Movie 2[]
In the 90's, Mighty Eagle and Zeta met each other in high school at Eagle Island, and they both started dating. They enjoyed each other's company until one day, Zeta proposed to him. Mighty Eagle, was not ready for the next step. So, he fled and left her at the altar in cowardice.
Zeta then started to somehow managed to have amassed resources to construct a base there that's more technologically advanced than that of the Birds who lived at Bird Village. Despite the amenities that it promises, Zeta expressed frustration with the frozen environment and the never-ending problem of seals stealing her food and begins charting plans for conquest, striking nearby Bird Island with an ice ball cannon constructed at the center of the island.
Her plans of conquest were transforming Bird Island and Piggy Island into her resort islands, full of fun things and summer fun.
Eventually, Mighty Eagle arrives to make amends to Zeta, but she quarrels with him, revealing his name as Ethan and that he made her give birth to a hatchling he was unaware of named Debbie. While Zeta is distracted, Silver tells Chuck to tie up the weapon using a Super String, which catches and decelerates the lava balls when Zeta fires them. As the rope breaks, Zoe, Vi-Vi and Sam-Sam and the 3 piglets traveling above Eagle Island help grasp it. The lava balls slide back into the weapon, destroying the base.
Everyone escapes the exploding base, just as Zeta notices Debbie missing. Seeing her ice shoes under debris, Zeta believes her to be dead and begins to regret her actions just as Mighty Eagle appears under the debris, revealing that he protected Debbie from being crushed by a metal plate. After witnessing Mighty Eagle's heroic act, Zeta decides to settle her differences with him while showing gratitude and marries Mighty Eagle while Red performs their marriage. After the marriage, Zeta joined the others in dancing and even asks Debbie, who is about to drink punch, to join the dance. (The Angry Birds Movie 2)
