Legends of the Guardians: Owls of Ga'Hoole movie, directed by Zack Snyder and based on the book series by Kathryn Lasky

Not Sandra Bullock's bird. Never was. We checked. It's named after a father-son duo who weirdly share the exact same name (no Junior's here). This Oriole also spent 22 years having a full identity crisis with the Baltimore Oriole before science sorted it out. Also: grape jelly feeders, cottonwood "socks," and a very serious debate about whether Nicole Kidman's hair counts as Bullock's Oriole orange.
