Birdie the Early Bird is the first identifiable female character used in McDonald's McDonaldland commercials introduced in 1980 to promote the company's new breakfast items. She is a yellow bird wearing a pink jumpsuit, flight cap and scarf. In the ads she is frequently portrayed as a poor flyer and somewhat clumsy in general.
Birdie was voiced by the late Russi Taylor (voice of Minnie Mouse) and portrayed by Patti Maloney in the McDonald's television commercials and is voiced by Christine Cavanaugh in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald.
