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:
“Alas for the cripple Practice when it seeks to come up with the bird Theory, which flies before it. Try your design on the best school. The scholars are of all ages and temperaments and capacities. It is difficult to class them, some are too young, some are slow, some perverse. Each requires so much consideration, that the morning hope of the teacher, of a day of love and progress, is often closed at evening by despair.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Whenever a man’s friends begin to compliment him about looking young, he may be sure that they think he is growing old.”
—Washington Irving (1783–1859)
