Tweety was created by Bob Clampett and is voiced by Joe Alaskey. Tweety is a yellow canary bird; he is the eternel target of the felonious feline Sylvester the Cat.

Bob Clampett had a fascination with baby birds he fondly remembered from nature films. While WB had had similar birds before (the Avery/Clampett 1941 cartoon The Cagey Canary), Clampett gave Tweety a lisping baby voice, a head proportioned like a baby, and a temperment borrowed perhaps from the Red Skelton character of Junior, the Mean Widdle Kid. In his debut in A Tale of Two Kitties (Clampett, 1942) and in the followups Birdy and the Beast and A Gruesome Twosome ( both Clampett, 1944 and 1945), Tweety (first named in the credits for Birdy and the Beast ) shows that he is no helpless little orphan, as he uses gasoline, hand grenades, dynamite and clubs to protect himself.

Originally pink, Tweety was changed to yellow, after censors complained. Clampett did some of the early preliminary work on "Tweetie Pie" before turning the project over to Friz Freleng, who steered it to an Oscar-winning cartoon. The cartoon has caused some confusion in the name of the character. Sometimes the character is referred to as Tweety, but other times the character is referred to as Tweetie Pie, muddying the situation. In "Tree Cornered Tweety", Tweety appears in an Automat window labeled Tweety Pie, right next to the Lemon Pie. Tweety makes a cameo in "No Barking," saying his catch-phrase "I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat." Putty Tat has also been spelled Puddy Tat, which is now the officially endorsed spelling
