Woodstock from Snoopy in the Peanuts comics is a small yellow bird of unknown species. Officially, it is never clearly identified what kind of bird Woodstock is. He is often speculated to be a canary due to his yellow feathers, or sometimes a dove as an homage to the symbol of peace associated with the Woodstock music festival, after which he was named. Snoopy himself has tried to identify Woodstock’s species with various bird guesses, eventually giving up with the humorous conclusion that Woodstock might just be a duck. Woodstock is a poor flyer and exhibits erratic flight patterns, which is a recurring theme in the comics. Despite the mystery around his species, Woodstock is famously known as Snoopy’s loyal best friend and sidekick.
