- Mbuni, Bunga the Wise

Mbuni is a female ostrich who lives in the Pride Lands. She debuted in the episode Bunga the Wise.

Appearance
Mbuni bears black and white feathers, a long, pale pinkish white neck, and dull grayish pink legs. She has large, round brown eyes (blue in some episodes) and a small fringe of white feathers atop her head, as well as a few speckles on her neck.

Personality
Little is revealed about Mbuni's personality. However, she is shown to be cheerful and calm. She is quick to take advice despite how poor it may seem, and has confessed to being afraid of hyenas.

Bunga the Wise
Mbuni seeks the council of Bunga, who tells her to stick her head in the ground to avoid seeing hyenas. She is later rescued by the Lion Guard after getting her head stuck in a hole, where she explains what she was doing to the Guard. She also mentions that she was following Bunga's advice.

Can't Wait to be Queen
Mbuni can be seen bowing to Simba during Duties of the King.

The Kupatana Celebration
Mbuni is seen rehearsing a song for Kupatana, though she is stopped by Zazu after accidentally mispronouncing her words. Later, she is seen grazing peacefully in the Pride Lands as Beshte and Bunga are on patrol and is later still seen at the Kupatana Celebration that evening.

Follow That Hippo!
Mbuni overhears Mtoto call out about a hyena attack, and rushes away. She and several other animals clamber onto a nearby rock, waiting for the Lion Guard to save them. Later, she is seen resting at the Watering Hole.
