Zazu/Relationships

==Friends, Allies & Acquaintances==

Simba
When Simba was a cub, he did not care for the bird at all, but once Simba returned to the Pride Lands and defeated Scar, he accepted Zazu as a loyal friend to where he becomes concerned about him when he is not on time for the Morning Report. He also went with him and Nala to a funeral in "Can't Wait to be Queen" where helped Simba with speaking in elephantese for his speech and helps him with the Savannah Summits.

Nala
As Zazu does work for the queen as her Royal Advisor, who reports everything to her and Simba. He and Nala both helped encourage Simba to give his speech at Aminifu's funeral, showing how well the two work together.

In general, the two are good friends.

Kion
When Kion and Bunga ran away from Zazu a bunch of times when they were young cubs. Such as one day when the kids ran away from him when he told Fuli to slow down. The kids ran into Pua's Float and Pua and Makuu were about to eat them until Zazu came in and hopped inside Makuu's mouth. Saying that he will be eaten instead of Kion, showing his bravery and that he truly cares for Kion and his safety. Pua lets the three of them go and Kion says that he will never forget about that day according to him. When Zazu got captured by the hyenas, Kion and the Guard came to save him, showing how much he cares for the hornbill.

Pua
ua first met Zazu when the hornbill was taking care of a much younger Kion and Bunga. Although the cubs had broken the rules by entering uninvited, Zazu offered himself as a meal in their place. Not wishing to anger King Simba and seeing the bravery displayed by Zazu after he entered Makuu's mouth willingly, Pua respected Zazu, allowing him to collect the children and leave alive and unharmed.

Ono
The two are on good terms seeing as they both help their leaders in their own way. Though Zazu was annoyed when Ono wasn't doing his job at one point because Ono lost his crest feathers much to Zazu's shock when he soon found out.

Janja
In "The Morning Report", Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu kidnap Zazu and bring him into the Outlands. When he questions Scar on what to do next, the lion orders him to interrogate the bird until he reveals everything he knows to him. When Zazu refuses to tells him information that is useful (according to him), he threatens to eat him until the Lion Guard shows up to save him from the hyena and his clan.
