The show's title characters are two anthropomorphic birds who are friends living in the same apartment complex, Tuca Toucan (voiced by Tiffany Haddish) and Roberta "Bertie" Songthrush (voiced by Ali Wong). Tuca is a toucan with an impulsive personality, while Bertie is a nervous and career-minded song thrush. At the start of the series, Tuca has just ceased drinking alcohol. To support herself, she often relies on various odd jobs for financial gain. At the same time, Bertie works at an office called Conde Nest while also holding an apprentice job at a bakery. The series' main plot lines focuses on the protagonists' friendship and their struggles in adulthood, touching on themes such as alcoholism and sexual abuse.
Many of Tuca's plot lines involve her wealthy aunt Tallulah (voiced by Jenifer Lewis). Other relationships of hers vary from episode to episode.
