What Makes Birdie, Birdie

When Birdie joined our family last October, we could tell right away she was something special. But we were still curious—what exactly was in this little bundle of muscle and mischief?

We also had to figure out her birthday—because in our house, birthdays mean steak dinners, and we didn’t want to miss celebrating any more of hers. 🥩

So we ordered an Embark DNA and Age Test. A few swabs later, the results were in: Birdie is 3 years old and 100% American Bully. Her estimated birthday is February 23, 2023, which means she really is Bluey’s little sister after all!

American Bullies were bred with one main goal in mind: to be incredible family dogs. Loyal, people-loving, and built for companionship—which honestly tracks perfectly with our Birdie.

Birdie’s mornings start like a tiny tornado—zooming across the yard at top speed, flinging herself into imaginary battles, then suddenly flopping on the couch like, “I’m done, humans. Admire my greatness.” She steals your spot, demands belly rubs, and somehow makes every silly quirk completely lovable.

She’s laid-back at home, energetic outside, and just unathletic enough to run a few zoomies before collapsing dramatically for nap time. Every snuggle, every silly zoom, every stubborn little quirk now makes perfect sense.

American Bullies really are the perfect mix: easygoing, happy-go-lucky, energetic, but not demanding hours of exercise like other breeds. Honestly, that’s perfect for us right now, because we’re all about a lazy pup who’s happy to snuggle after a few zoomies. Birdie fits right in—part mischief-maker, part snuggle expert, and 100% ours.
