Talking Parrot?

Hey guys,
I'm looking to build another Windows 3.1 system (hobby of mine) like the one my grandfather had a long time ago. I'm trying to find a software program, in which there was a talking parrot. If you talked into the mic, he'd mimic what you say, and you could also "tickle" him by pressing certain keys on the keyboard. I may be mistaken, but I think it might've been part of the Soundblaster soundcard package back then. Anyone know where I can download/find info on it? Thanks.

That talking Parrot is known as Peedy. He is a Microsoft Agent...

I'm not sure about the program that you had but this might be somewhat similar....

Prody Parrot.

Real cute if you ask me. I did love him too. It came with my SoundBlaster Live! X-Gamer. It was included in the 5.1 versions of the Live! also.

The Audigys don't come with it any longer.

You want it? You can PM me.

Talking Parrot

You might want to check out this web site. This is an excellent and fun program. And Peedy, the Parrot, is one of the most favorite characters.
