Taking it’s place in the TV Mascot Hall of Lame, the QBird. Not as cartoonish as the Kraken Buoy, the QBird never gained the same fame as the KING 5 Mighty Mike. There is no audible noise from the QBird in this video, so it is not known what, if any, sound the QBird ever made. I don’t recall the rich history of the QBird, but if there wasn’t more to the bird costume, then this mascot was really, really lame!

MJ–that’s what I thought. It remains a mystery.
I remember the bird with Laurie Hamel. Wonder what happened to her..
KCPQ 13 had its own Kids Club. Commercial breaks during kid shows were with Laurie Hamel (Nelson), https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriernelson, and Q Bird. Club members received a newsletter and membership card allowing discounts and freebies at local businesses.
