Daniel Bird

Daniel BirdWord list is the Vice President of the Enclave under President Dick Richardson in 2241.
==Background==
Bird is described as a small nervous-looking man wearing a food-stained suit.Daniel Bird's dialogue: "{102}{}{You see a small nervous-looking man, wearing a food-stained suit.}" Vice President Bird volunteered as a test subject for an experimental antidote for FEV Curling-13. The antidote had negative side effects on Bird's mental state, and he now spends most of his time standing idly around in his office mumbling to himself. According to President Richardson, the failed antidote may possibly have had the positive side effect of improving Bird's spelling.Dick Richardson's dialogue: "{160}{prs15}{I am the President of the United States of America. The Vice-President is in the office outside. If you belonged here you'd know that. Who are you and what are you doing here?}""{163}{}{Vice-President? You mean that drooling idiot next door?}" (Chosen One)"{199}{prs26}{Vice-President Bird may look like a drooling idiot, but I'll have you know that man's a national hero.}""{200}{}{To you, probably.}" (Chosen One)"{201}{prs27}{He's one of the bravest men I know. He volunteered to try one of the early versions of the F.E.V. toxin antidote. (sigh) Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out the way we'd hoped.}""{202}{}{You mean that wasn't what you'd hoped for?}" (Chosen One)"{203}{prs28}{It's tiny mocking minds like yours that prove the superiority of real humans over mutants.}""{204}{}{He's still a gibbering idiot.}" (Chosen One)"{206}{prs29}{He may yet come around. In fact, there may even be some unforeseen benefits. His spelling ability has actually improved.}"

==Behind the scenes==
* Bird is a direct parody of Dan Quayle, a former U.S. Vice President who served during the term of President George H.W. Bush (1989–93). Nearly all of Bird's dialogue comes from absurd but real Quayle quotes, or slight variations thereof (such as substituting words like "Enclave" into the quotes). President Richardson's comment that Bird's spelling has improved in the time since the experiment that left him otherwise mentally impaired is another reference to Quayle, who famously misspelled "potato" as "potatoe" while in attendance at an elementary school spelling bee in 1992. Also, one can connect his name, as Daniel can be shortened to Dan, and Quayle is a type of bird.
* Bird also mentions NASA in-game, referencing a real-life Quayle quote, stating that "space is still a high priority" for NASA.Daniel Bird: "{171}{}{For NASA, space is still a high priority.}"(QCBIRD.MSG) Other parts of the series suggest that in the fictional Fallout world, NASA does not exist, with its equivalent being the United States Space Administration.
