The problem with this bird is that it is an "out of context" character, who is bizzare for the sake of being bizzare. A wacky Dreamworks/Pixar comic relief shoved into a relaxing, laid back and normal slice of life world.
Most anime mascots are quirky and wacky in a way that makes sense to the logic of the universe.
The bird, however, is like that sloth from "Ice Age" and that stupid Zebra from "Madagascar"; cracking jokes whether or not it is appropriate or necessary to the narrative movement, and yes cracking jokes even if it stops the narrative to a grinding halt JUST to focus on his wackiness.
Heck' even Mr Sakamoto from "Nichijou" made more sense than this feathered fiend!
I'm staying for the lovable human cast; the bird? I'm giving it the bird right now.
