Carl always was a helpful heron, and the day he saw poor Willie struggling on the shore and helped him back into the pond, while earning him derision among the other herons, made him very happy.

When the Piranha attack of '18 took the lives of every Heron except Carl, it was simply Karma paying a visit.
