The Beaks Optimistic Youth Droid, better known as B.O.Y.D., is a robot built to resemble a youthful anthropomorphic African Grey Parrot.

Description

Mark Beaks built B.O.Y.D. so he would have an excuse to attend Doofus Drake's birthday party and make off with the expensive gift bags (also, Beaks couldn't pass up the opportunity to publish numerous pictures of himself with his adorable "son" online). B.O.Y.D. is sweet, polite, and personable. He is considerably more square than Beaks (in spite of a forced attempt to talk like his "father"). B.O.Y.D. was initially under the impression that he was a real boy. After being disillusioned of this by Louie Duck, B.O.Y.D. briefly went haywire.

Louie later reprogrammed B.O.Y.D., reverting him to his original function of a loving son; B.O.Y.D. wasted no time in getting himself adopted by Mr and Mrs Drake, in the hopes that Doofus might reform if he had a peer to befriend. Now at ease with his true nature, B.O.Y.D. used his incredible computation abilities to complete a legal process within seconds which left him owner of half of the Drake fortune, ending Doofus's rule of terror over the household.

Behind the Scenes

B.O.Y.D. first appeared in Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake in 2019, after having appeared on the teaser poster revealing many future appearing characters.
