Attack of the mutant parakeets!

I think Whipper's adorable, kind of like the fluffy lap-dog of birds. When I was a kid we had a normal parakeet named Mr Peepers (who turned out to be female), which is funny because that was also the name of a cat in the game who is now an undead burnt familiar of a necromancer, and the cat is also female, and is now re-named Cinders.

I must ask the game master, who remembers just about everything, if he drew that from my parakeet story or if it is merely a very odd coincidence. I had never thought about it until now.
