The boomerang bird, also known as Greeney, was born in Thailand and had a difficult childhood as an orphan. He was bullied in primary school for his large beak but found that he could defend himself by throwing himself at bullies like a boomerang. Though the bullying continued in high school through phone calls, he graduated college and became a marine biologist. After six months, he realized that was not his passion and quit to get married and have five eggs with his wife Brianna. He later became known for his role in the Angry Birds films where the birds and pigs are actually good friends despite the films' names.
