Frank the Flamingo is a supporting character in the Disney Channel series Hailey's On It! He is Hailey Banks' adopted pet flamingo.
Background[]
Personality[]
Frank is a very friendly and adaptable flamingo. While he comes off as unclean, he is very loyal to Hailey and her friend Scott. When he feels that his family is threatened, he will become wild and attack those that he deems a danger, though he does not aim to actually hurt anyone. Frank might slightly be unaware of the fact that he is disgusting, but is not at all bothered by his own habits.
Physical appearance[]
Frank resembles a typical flamingo with pink feathers, a white and black beak, and long pink legs. What slightly sets him apart is that he has a small featherless patch on his back, implying that he is a much older bird.
Role in the Series[]
Frank was originally under the ownership of Chuck, but was put into an animal shelter as he kept distracting Petey, a peacock he was in a relationship ship with. After an unknown amount of time, Frank was adopted by Hailey Banks who tried to get him to behave so that her mother would let them adopt him. However, it failed and Patricia wanted to return him to the shelter. However, after Frank stood up for her against the Swag Brothers, she decided to let him stay.
Eventually, after revealing his dancing skills, Frank reunited with Petey Chuck at a bird show and his former owner criticized him. Hailey tried to make adjustments to Frank to increase their chances of winning a medal. However, she quickly changed her mind and let Frank dance and they were soon joined by Petey. Frank and Petey then won an award for best couples dance. In a rage, Chuck disowned Petey, but the peacock was quickly adopted by Scott Denoga. Frank and Petey were overjoyed to be reunited again.
Trivia[]
- Frank is the first non-anthropomorphic and non-speaking animal character in a Disney production to be LGBTQ. His mate being a peacock is most likely a nod to how flamingos and peacocks are usually characterized as "gay" birds.
