- This article is about the Studio C character. For the character on the Uncle Klunk stage, see Murray D. Bird.
The Bird is a green parrot with red wings who is Chuck E.'s sidekick as shown on the Studio C Alpha and on Studio C Alpha Beta Mix stages. On stage, he resides on a perch, and often announces for Chuck E. and Munch's Make Believe Band.
History[]
The Bird was originally designed to give Chuck E. someone to talk to on stage for Studio C Alpha. The plan originally was to phase out the other characters. However, this plan was scrapped. Originally, the Bird had a more prominent role on stage, but later disappeared into the background. In 1999, during the Fabulous World Adventure, the Bird had a major role in the showtape and was voiced by Earl Fisher. During the 2000s and until the end of Studio C Programming in 2022, the Bird did not talk, except for doing backup singing and occasional announcing. He still moved around and flapped his wings to the music, however. In 2015, he was programmed to provide a squawk sound effect during Costume Party.
As of June 2025, 2 locations still have the Bird on their Studio C Alpha stages, being in Redwood City, CA and Spokane, WA. A third Bird animatronic is on static display at the Legacy Location in Pineville, NC.
