Background[]

Bird is described as a small nervous-looking man wearing a food-stained suit.[2] Vice President Bird volunteered as a test subject for an experimental antidote for FEV Curling-13.[3] The antidote had negative side effects on Bird's mental state, and he now spends most of his time standing idly around in his office mumbling to himself. According to President Richardson, the failed antidote may possibly have had the positive side effect of improving Bird's spelling.[3]

Behind the scenes[]

  • Bird is a direct parody of Dan Quayle, a former U.S. Vice President who served during the term of President George H.W. Bush (1989–93). Nearly all of Bird's dialogue comes from absurd but real Quayle quotes, or slight variations thereof (such as substituting words like "Enclave" into the quotes). President Richardson's comment that Bird's spelling has improved in the time since the experiment that left him otherwise mentally impaired is another reference to Quayle, who famously misspelled "potato" as "potatoe" while in attendance at an elementary school spelling bee in 1992. Also, one can connect his name, as Daniel can be shortened to Dan, and Quayle is a type of bird.
  • Bird also mentions NASA in-game, referencing a real-life Quayle quote, stating that "space is still a high priority" for NASA.[4] Other parts of the series suggest that in the fictional Fallout world, NASA does not exist, with its equivalent being the United States Space Administration.
