I confused about this!
Many people called this Birdo
but
If you beat a game, and watch a ending screen it says it is ostro!

They mixed up the names. It's Birdo.

Before I had found out Birdo was his/her real name, I always thought Ostro was a more suitable name for an egg-shooting dinosaur just as Birdo was for the running-bird creature.

In Japan.

In Japan, Birdo has always been known as Catherine so I guess it is NOA's fault as to the confusion about Birdo's gender.

I completley agree with ledzeplinrocks on not knowing what gender birdo is

my fat is better than yours

I think Catherine's a better name for her, if only to confirm gender and not cause confusion between Birdo and Ostro. In the manual for Wario's Woods, her name was Catherine.

I would like Birdo if Nintendo hadn't included that embarrassing voice in Mario Tennis (and any future game with her in it). But strangely, it does seem to fit that Yoshi and Birdo would be tennis partners. Maybe it's that they both have big beaks.

Beaks? That's the last thing I would call them. Yoshi has a snout, and Birdo has.. a egg-shooter suctionish type thing. Yeah. Suctionish IS a word. I swear.

I hope.

I pray.

Birdo was originally a girl in Japan, but for some reason they changed her to a boy in America. But later on they changed her back to a girl (and I'm glad, let me tell you).

I also think that Catherine would have been a good name for her in America.

I like to go by how Japan did it and consider that Birdo was always a girl...

I don't think I worded that correctly.

Toddathon · « **Reply #13 on:** March 19, 2005, 11:30:25 PM »

they originally posted the idea for Birdo to be a guy who "thinks its a girl and prefers to be called Birdetta", but with all the homophobia over here in North America, they scrapped that idea and turned her into a girl. tsk tsk.

Actually, because of the name mix-up, Birdo being a "guy" just can't be believed at all.

That was just a simple assumption back when she was a newbie anyways.

Bottom line: instruction manuals suck. For any game, they're often full of crap, weak, and incorrect on many things. Don't trust them.
