Zazu

Zazu is an adult male hornbill, and Simba's majordomo. As the king's royal adviser, he surveys the Pride Lands and delivers the Morning Report each day, bearing news and warning the king, queen, or Lion Guard of any possible trouble. He is voiced by Jeff Bennett.

Appearance
Zazu is a hornbill with blue and white feathers and a large golden and red beak. His tail feathers are long and straight, each one transitioning from his predominant color to dark blue near the tip. The lighter and darker shades of blue are divided by bands of white. His wings are the same way, starting out light blue before changing first into white and then to dark blue. On the back of his head, two small dark blue feathers curl upward, and a few white feathers on his chest protrude slightly. His underbelly and legs are white, and his feet are dark reddish-orange. He has sky blue eyelids, and his eyebrows are thick, black, and bushy.

Personality
Zazu is a punctual, intellectual hornbill who shows absolute loyalty to Simba. He is proud of his position, and only too happy to help Simba whenever he needs it. He is not afraid to correct or criticize, and always turns to the bright side of things when he can. He is also not afraid to state his opinions. Zazu can also be empathetic, especially towards Simba's doubts over his position as King. He is frequently looking at the positive side of things. In addition to this, Zazu shows signs of bravery, which even rival those of Bunga's at times. From endangering his own life to save Kion and Bunga from a float of crocodiles to remaining calm for long periods of time whilst surrounded by Janja's Clan, the major-domo uses his intelligence by working out his opponents, and using their own weaknesses against them whilst retaining a calm demeanor.

Trivia

 * Zazu can speak in elephant, gorilla, chimpanzee and several dialects of bushbuck.
