Color your cartoon of Woodstock. He is bright yellow in color.

Along with Big Bird and Tweety Bird, Woodstock is among the most recognizable cartoon canaries.

Did you know? While Woodstock is assumed to be a canary due to his yellow color, his species is never identified.

Even Snoopy once tried to determine what type of bird Woodstock is using a field guide. Some readers purport that he must be a dove since the dove was the symbol of the Woodstock music festival.

Would you like to learn how to draw Woodstock from Peanuts? This easy, step-by-cartoon character drawing tutorial can show you how.

Woodstock is a small bird who first appeared in the Peanuts comic strips in 1966.

When a mother bird made a nest on Snoopy's stomach, the faithful beagle ended up raising the chicks. One had trouble flying and never left.

That small bird would later be named Woodstock in 1970, after the famous New York music festival of 1969. Since then, he and Snoopy have been best friends.

Here's what creator Charles M. Schulz had to say about Woodstock:

"Woodstock knows that he is very small and inconsequential indeed. It’s a problem we all have. The universe boggles us... Woodstock is a lighthearted expression of that idea."

Is Woodstock male or female? Though sometimes depicted as a female secretary during 1960s comics, the bird has definitely been referred to as male since being named in 1970.

However, in some international translations, Woodstock is given feminine names and referred to as "she."
