Bert (bird)

Bert is a recurring character of the Puppet Pals franchise, as well as one of the former antagonists of the Bob the Builder spinoff series, Spud the Scarecrow. He is a bird who is Richard's best friend. He has an Australian accent just like his best friend, Richard.

He was one of Steve the Killcrow's former henchmen, along with Richard and Trevor until all three of them redeem themselves and betray Steve at the end of the Spud the Scarecrow series.

Bert and Richard both look similar to Pilchard and Bert except that they have different colours and Richard and Bert actually speak in human language while Pilchard and Bird speak in cat and bird language.

Appearance
Bert looks just like Bird except they both have different colours. Bird is blue, red and yellow and Bert is half blue and half purple. Bert has black eyes just like Bird.

Personality
Bert started off as antagonistic, homicidal and vicious as he was willing to help his boss, Steve commit crimes such as murder. In the last episode of the Spud the Scarecrow series, Richard, along with Bert and Trevor betray Steve because they have had enough of being abused by Steve. Richard, Bert and Trevor later apologize to everyone who lives at Bobsville for trying to kill them and for helping Steve commit crimes.

Despite being a villain, Bert and Richard are both nicer than Steve as he, along with his best friend, Richard both seem to be reluctant to kill Pilchard and Bird as Richard, Bert, Pilchard and Bird are all good friends. Bert and his best friend, Richard also act reasonable, caring and sympathetic and are both genuinely concerned for other people's safeties.
