Tweety Bird:
The name "Tweety" is a play on words, as it originally meant "sweetie", along with "tweet". This animated yellow canary is known for his legendary quotes, such as "I tawt I taw a puddy tat", "I did! I did taw a puddy tat", "Oh, hewwo, Puddy Tat. What you doin' up there?", "Bad ol' puddy tat", "That ol' puddy tat never donna find me in here.", "I wonder what that puddy tat up to now?" and many more.
Tweety lives with Granny in his gilded cage; she is very protective of Tweety and is cautious to keep Sylvester from trying to eat him. Usually the little yellow bird can avoid him with ease.
A fun and easy way to introduce coin collecting to children, and a wonderful collectible for those with a passion for animation and its history.
