The Comic:
The Bird Birds:
The Bird Birds is a semi-educational, funny webcomic about semi-anthropomorphized birds and their daily lives created for all ages. From crows singing rhymes to podcasting chickadees, from warbler witches to techno turkeys, The Bird Birds has it all. The first strip was created on May 25th, 2021, and was published to the web on February 22nd, 2023.
The Creator:
Devon:
Devon is a kid who lives in California and is the CEO and founder of Kingdom: Animalia Podcasts, a kid-and-chickadee-run podcast organization. KAP is home to Kingdom: Animalia - A Zoology Podcast for Kids, an educational animal podcast hosted by Devon and co-hosted by The Bird Birds' star chickadees, Chet and Cap, and Where Are the Chickadee Brothers?, an audio adventure starring Chet and Cap. Devon’s favorite birds are American Crows and Chestnut-backed Chickadees, and has been a birder since 2021. Devon first created the strip featuring our beloved birdy gang at ten-years-old during free time at school on May 25th, 2021, and has been at it ever since. While Devon has made several comic strips (not published), The Bird Birds is the longest running. (Devon doesn't actually have a Scarlet Macaw as depicted in the drawing—Devon actually has a dog [Bert] and two budgerigars [Budgly and Rex]. See the “Organa Breaks the Fourth Wall” story arc.)

The Cast:
Cap Chickadee:
Cap is a Black-capped Chickadee who is a frequently recurring character and has been here since almost the beginning. He’s Chet’s adoptive brother and co-host of The Chickadee Brothers Podcast (not real outside of the The-Bird-Birds–verse). He's obsessed with caps and is always wearing his trademark black cap with the letter ‘C’ on it. While it appears to be only one cap, if he lifts it up, it reveals a seemingly infinitely growing tower of caps (first shown in the “The Floridian Chickadees” story arc).
He debuted here.
Chet Chickadee:
Chet is a Chestnut-backed Chickadee who is a frequently recurring character and has been in The Bird Birds since the very first strip (the “Battle of The Bird Bands” story arc). He co-hosts The Chickadee Brothers Podcast (not real outside of the The-Bird-Birds–verse) with his adopted brother, Cap. He is the (relatively) calmer and more reserved half of the brother duo and has a hard time keeping his cap-obsessed counterpart in check.
Gully Gullsup:
Gully is a California Gull. He is obsessed with all food, but his favorite is hotdogs. He's always hungry, and whenever he sees food, he opens his mouth as wide as needed and activates his vacuum suction to suck it all up.
He first appeared in the Sunday strip “The Wonderful World of Trash.”
Chris Cronison:
Chris is an American Crow. He loves to write new songs, but they aren't all that original. He has a series of strips called “Chris the Singer” where he takes song requests from other birds. He always manages to come up with something that rhymes with "caw" whether it be singing "I once ate a burger raw! Raw! Raw!" as an adventure story or "Flaw! Flaw! Flaw!" as the blues. You can submit your own requests, too!
He first appeared in this strip.
Quin Quackerton:
Quin is a Mallard duck. He can only speak in Quackish and tends to be short-tempered. He first appeared in the “The Floridian Chickadees” arc. He was hatched in Florida, but he followed Chet and Cap home to California and has been stalking them ever since, In his free time, he is an active member of the Game Birds Protest Club, formerly the Meat Birds Protest Club.
Cheeto Columban:
Cheeto is a feral Rock Pigeon. He loves collecting trash—whether it be food waste to eat or inedibles to add to his collection—and he often competes with Gully. He is married to Nacho,
He was first featured here with Gully.
Nacho Coo:
Nacho is a feral Rock Pigeon. She loves her food crumbs and is Cheeto's wife. Her wedding "ring" was a glazed donut with sprinkles.
She first debuted in the arc of her and Cheeto's wedding.
Titerson Chickatit:
Titerson is an Oak Titmouse. She is a famous singer and an avid podcast listener—one of her favorites is Chet and Cap’s The Chickadee Brothers Podcast.
She first debuted in this daily strip.
Gobblington Gobbler:
Gobblington is a Wild Turkey who frequently shows up around November. He is a highly accomplished musician in many genres. He is also a member of the Game Birds Protest Club, formerly the Meat Birds Protest Club (not to be confused with the former Game Birds Protest Club turkey of 2021).
He was first featured here.
‘The Junco’:
‘The Junco' is a nameless Dark-eyed Junco. He is a lover of winter and avid hockey player, figure skater, skier, sledder, snowbird builder, and snowball fighter. He is also quick to brag about hanging out in the snow to a Canada Goose who flys south for the cold season.
He was first featured in the winter The Bird Birds arc of 2021.
