Bertie Birdbrain

Bertie Birdbrain is a music student in the 1953 animated shorts Melody and Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom. He is obviously not a very smart one as evidenced by the dunce cap he wears. He is often seated in the corner on a perch and a running gag involves Professor Owl inadvertently slamming his pointer stick out of excitement or anger on Bertie's dunce cap, covering his whole body. He also plays percussion, as he crashes the cymbals on the symphonic version of "The Bird and the Cricket and the Willow Tree" in Melody and strikes a triangle to signify the end of Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom.
