A quartet of goslings that go and do everything together. They each have their own personality, but are almost never seen alone. When they talk, they tend to do it all at once: one girl will start a sentence, and each other girl will complete part of the sentence until they finish. Their names are Amber Gibble (Hannah Endicott-Douglas) Coral Gibble (Isabel de Carteret), Jade Gibble (Nissae Isen) and Pearl Gibble (Camden Angelis).
Double-length episodes feature the whole of two normal episodes. As of 2011, one double-length episode has aired so far, and it was titled " Ladybug Day".
