Catbird

Catbird is the callsign of a Viper pilot assigned to the battlestar Pegasus.

Catbird leads Green Squadron in defense of Pegasus after she is ambushed by three Cylon basestars during a haphazardly conceived rescue mission performed against Admiral Adama's orders by Pegasus commander Barry Garner (The Captain's Hand).

The fate of Catbird after the attack is unknown.

Notes

• A catbird is a bird of the family Ptilonorhynchidae or Mimidae.

• "The catbird seat" is an idiomatic phrase used to describe an enviable position, often one of great advantage.
