Wilbur is adodo inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons who works at theAirport. He flies the plane to other people'sislands, as well as to themystery tours (which requireNook Miles Tickets),Harv's Island, andParadise Planning. Notably, he uses thephonetic alphabet when speaking—with the exception of "whiskey" for "W," replaced with "whisker." His name, along withOrville's, is likely a reference to theWright brothers, the inventors of the airplane.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Like Orville, Wilbur is a dodo with blue feathers, a yellow face, slightly oval-shaped white eyes with black irises, a large beak with a large brown upper tip and a brown lower lip, a nose being a part of his beak's upper part, a brown inner-mouth with a light-brown tongue, white fingers, a tail with three white and bluish-cyan feathers, and yellow feet with stripes (colors being orange and brownish-orange) and dark-brown nails.

Clothing[edit]

Like Orville, Wilbur wears a pilot's uniform, which consists of a white shirt, a red tie, and a black belt with a small pouch. Unlike Orville, he also wears a headset with a pair of light-green earmuffs, and a pair of sunglasses.

Personality[edit]

Like Orville, Wilbur is a hard-working flight worker.

Appearances[edit]

InNew Horizons[edit]

Wilbur telling theplayer to watch out forbogeys inNew Horizons.

While Wilbur primarily flies the plane to and from numerous islands, Wilbur is only available outside if the player had landed on amystery island,Harv's Island, or if the player has theHappy Home Paradise DLC, thearchipelago. When the player lands on a mystery island, Wilbur waits at the dock until the player is ready to head home or needs tools. The following tools he can give are:flimsy axe,flimsy shovel,flimsy fishing rod, andflimsy net for 100Nook Miles each. If the player gets knocked out after being attacked by aTarantula or aScorpion, or stung twice byWasps, he will take the player back to the dock; as soon as they recover, he will cancel the red alert that he sends a word to Orville and then allow the player to continue exploring afterwards.

Since the1.2.0 April Free Update, Wilbur will allow the player to mail to their own house or sell items when on Harv's Island on or after June 1, 2020. The items that are delivered arrive the next day. Since2.0 Free Update, Wilbur will refuse travel to and from Harv's Island or the archipelago if they're not back on the main island when anew day rolls around; Wilbur will only return the player to their main island. Additionally, ifDJ KK is performing on the archipelago, the player can invite him to dance; doing so puts Wilbur at the center with the player character and other villagers surrounding him and Wilbur is given the honorary title of "DAL's Ace Pilot" for his credits.

When the player wants to return to their island, Wilbur will refer to it by saying the players native fruit alongside the word 'town'. For example, if the players native fruit are pears, he will say 'Peartown' and so on.
