Woodstock's Bird Friends
Woodstock is sometimes accompanied by as many as seven other yellow birds. Their names have been given as Bill, Harriet, Olivier, Raymond, Fred, Roy, Wilson and Conrad, though often only a few of them appear, and it is impossible to tell which ones, since they all look identical (with the exception of Raymond, who is darker, and Harriet, who was shown in 1990 to have a full head of "hair"). Despite this, Snoopy seems to be able to tell the difference. In a 1983 strip, while the beagle scouts have a photo hike, Bill and Harriet get married. Oliver is depicted as the scaredy cat, and Conrad is depicted as the inept one.

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or friends:
“My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
—Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)
“All earthly things is but vanity:
Beauty, Strength, and Discretion do man forsake,
Foolish friends and kinsmen, that fair spake—
All fleeth save Good Deeds, and that am I.”
—Unknown. Everyman (l. 870–873)
