- ―Birdie's catchphrase.[src]
Fowler Birdie is a retired Supreme Commander of S.P.D. and once Anubis "Doggie" Cruger's superior.
History[]
Fowler Birdie is first introduced when he comes to Earth to assess the efficiency of their branch of S.P.D.. Due to the B-Squad Rangers' (in his opinion) poor way of defeating Invador however, he relieves Commander Cruger of his duties when Cruger refuses to cater his strategy to Birdie's liking. He takes control of Earth's S.P.D. until he is challenged to personally fight Emperor Gruumm but is defeated though he is rescued by Cruger. Afterwards, Birdie admits that Earth is prepared for Gruumm's invasion and departs for S.P.D. headquarters. 
TV STORY-Dismissed
When Morgana, Shorty and Devastation attack Earth and decimate the Power Rangers, they make contact with Fowler Birdie via hologram transmission. However, as he fears depleting HQ forces will lead them into Gruumm's trap, he is unable to send backup. Fortunately for S.P.D., the Omega Ranger is able to arrive and save the Earth from complete conquering. TV STORY-Messenger
Fowler Birdie comes to the Delta Base offer Kat Manx a job at S.P.D. Headquarters as Chief of Technology. However, she refuses eventually due to S.P.D. on Earth needing her assistance so he gives her a special temporary Morpher to bring in Professor Mooney before leaving. TV STORY-Katastrophe
Birdie is among the S.P.D. reinforcements to assist in the final battle against the Troobian Empire, apparently having decided to go into battle himself. He is within the Delta Base's control room when the S.W.A.T. Megazord kills Omni and is outside to witness Doggie Cruger finally arrest Gruumm. TV STORY-Endings
As Bridge Carson is one of the Rangers recruited by the Sentinel Knight to join the Retro Rangers, Bridge reveals that Birdie was Supreme Commander for two additional years before he retired and moved to Miami to lead a solitary life. Cruger was chosen to succeed Birdie as Supreme Commander whilst Sky became the commander of Earth Base. TV STORY-Once a Ranger
Personality[]
Birdie has a very harsh and commanding personality and is quick to squawk orders without a second thought. He thought little of the B-Squad and would send them on separate missions. He even talked of having them replaced (for presumed incompetence) just as he replaced Cruger. Unfortunately, his strategies end up nearly getting the Rangers killed if it were not for Gruumm pulling out when he had the chance to kill them.
