Vilja is the antagonist of the Pixar short For the Birds.
For the Birds
She is a tall thin bird who one day lands on the telephone wire Bully and his flock of birds (including Chipper, Snob, and Neurotic) were already perching on. When Bully and his flock notice how different Vilja was, the smaller birds immediately start making fun of her. Vilja then lands between the smaller birds, but her weight causes the wire to sag and bend downwards, causing the smaller birds to slide toward her and therefore making her very annoyed. Bully then bites Vilja's leg, causing her to fall off, but she still manages to hold onto the wire. Bully, still trying to get rid of her immediately, has all of the smaller birds peck at Vilja's toes causing her to lose grip one by one, but when there was only one of Vilja's toes still grabbing onto the wire, Neurotic immediately tries to tell them to stop, but the other birds won't listen, and as a result, Vilja falls off the wire and causes it to bounce back up, knocking all of the smaller birds upwards. Vilja lands safely on the ground, while Bully and the other smaller birds all end up losing their feathers and running behind him out of embarrassment, to which Vilja laughs at.
Trivia
- Vilja appears to resemble either a shoebill or a hamerkop (both tall, stork-like birds native to eastern Africa whose beaks resemble a wooden clog and a hammer, respectively), as well as the Muppet character Big Bird from the children's puppet show Sesame Street, although colored blue instead of yellow.
