John's flock

**John's flock** is a group of black-headed seagulls that consists of John, Paul, Ringo, and George. With the sole exception of John, his fellow seagull members are enemies of Ricky, Ella, and their friends, as well as the recurring antagonists of *Sammy & Co*.

As of "Yoko", a female black-headed seagull named Yoko joins the flock.

## Members

* John — A male winter plumage black-headed seagull who serves as the leader of the flock.
* Paul — A male summer plumage black-headed seagull who serves as the second-in-command of the flock. Though, whenever John isn't around, Paul would serve as the de-facto leader of himself, Ringo, and George to try to capture Ricky and Ella. He can be recognized by his eight black feathers on both sides of his head.
* Ringo — A male summer plumage black-headed seagull who serves as the second-in-command to Paul. Ringo can be recognized by his black feathers being flat and "combed" back.
* George — A male summer plumage black-headed seagull. George can be recognized by his black feathers being upright.
* Yoko — A female winter plumage black-headed seagull who joins the flock in her titular episode. She is also John's love interest.

## Trivia

* When *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise* was first released, none of the male seagulls have their name mentioned. It wasn't until "Trapped" when both Paul and Ringo's names are revealed, as well as "The Walk of the Butterfly Fish" when John and George's names are revealed.
* The entire seagull flock is a homage to the Beatles.
	+ Each of the seagulls speaks in a noticeable British accent which is a reference to the Beatles being originated in Liverpool, England.
	+ With the exception of Yoko, each of the seagulls is named after a member of the Beatles: John is named after John Lennon, Paul is named after Paul McCartney, George is named after George Harrison, Ringo is named after Ringo Starr. Though to further fitting the theme, Yoko is named after Yoko Ono who is Lennon's wife despite Ono is never a member of the Beatles in real life.
	+ The way John temporarily got kicked out of his flock in "John the Terrible" is a parallel to when Lennon departs from the band because of infighting between his bandmates. He even mentioned about probably starting a "solo career", which is again a reference to Lennon starting a solo career in the 1970s after the band broke up.
	+ Because of John being a friend with the reef inhabitants, Paul would usually serve as a de-facto leader of the flock whenever John isn't around. This is a parallel to when McCartney becoming more dominant within the Beatles and challenged Lennon's leadership.
	+ John's crush on Yoko is a reference to Lennon's relationship with Ono.
	+ While the members of the flock are all friends, they tend to argue with one another ever since John is friends with the reef inhabitants. This is parallel to the infighting that happened within the Beatles prior to the band breaking up.
* In "John the Terrible", John got temporarily kicked out of his flock because of his friendship with Ricky and Ella, though he later returns to the flock at the end of the episode.
* Despite Paul, Ringo, and George all look similar to each other, the only way to distinguish the three is by their "feather hairstyle" on their head.
* Paul is the only male seagull to never being seen cooperating with Ricky, Ella, and/or their friends.
* John and Yoko are both the only members of the flock who're not a summer plumage black-headed gull. This is a way to emphasize them as friends with the reef inhabitants and being the "black sheep" of the group.
* Each of the four male seagulls is an enemy of Ricky, Ella, and their friends. However, after the events of *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*, John is the only member who manages to befriend them after Sammy and Ray saved his life in the film.
