Now Viewing: birdieTag type: Character Birdie (バーディー, Bādī) first appears in the original Street Fighter as the first of two opponents the player faces in England. In this game, Birdie is depicted as a tall white punk rocker with a beak shaped mohawk. He and Eagle are named after the golfing terms Birdie and Eagle. The character would reappear in Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams in 1995 and its subsequent sequels, Street Fighter Alpha 2 in 1996 and Alpha 3 in 1998. In this game, Birdie was depicted as a hulking black punk rocker with a blonde blade-shaped mohawk. The character jokes about this inconsistency in Alpha 3 by stating he "looked pale because (he) was sick". Birdie fights in the Alpha series with a grappling style similar to Zangief's, using his chains to slam opponents and a dashing headbutt similar to Balrog's punch rush. In the first two Alpha games, Birdie is characterized as a former pub bouncer who seeks to gain fame for himself by joining M. Bison's organization, Shadaloo. In the endings of both games, he defeats Bison in combat and is allowed to join his organization. In Alpha 3, Birdie is already a member of Shadaloo, but seeks to take over the organization by rebelling against Bison. Birdie also appears in the Street Fighter cartoon series in two episodes. He is first shown as an unknown fighter in the episode "The Medium is the Message" and later appears in "Cammy and the Bachelor", teaming up with Final Fight's Sodom as the two fighters cause a crime wave in England under orders from Bison and Shadaloo.
