The Long Beach Flightless Birds
(The Birds) are a Golly team from Long Beach, California. The Flightless Birds are most famous for being the first ever Hellmouth Cup champions. They have a long-standing rivalry with their California neighbors, the San Diego Balloon Animals (the Pacific Crown), and developed a rivalry with the Tucson Butchers in Season 10 after two Championship Series matchups (the Salton Sea Crown).
Team Character
More so than any other Golly team, the Long Beach Flightless Birds are truly an embodiment of their team motto: "Wild. Dumb. Free."

Salton Sea Crown and Rivalry with Tucson Butchers
Main: Salton Sea Crown
During Season 10, when the Birds met the Tucson Butchers in the Cold League championship for the third time, the two teams agreed to start a rivalry, which they named the Salton Sea Crown. The two teams meet annually at the Salton Sea, which is the most significant landmark between Long Beach and Tucson that could be agreed upon, for an awards ceremony and festivities.
