Fictional character biography
Bird-Brain is one of a number of "Ani-Mates", creatures created by an insane geneticist named the
Cypher, because of how simplistic Bird-Brain's language is.[2] In his first conversation with Cypher, Bird-Brain explains that he has been trained with food by starving him and using food as a reward.[2]
Bird-Brain develops relatively close relationships with Cypher (who is fascinated by Bird-Brain's language) and
Limbo in retaliation.[4] Once freed from the Ani-Mator's tyranny, Bird-Brain decides to remain on the island with the other Ani-Mates.[5]
