Black or White?
When he first appeared in the original Street Fighter, Birdie was Caucasian. In the Alpha series, however, he's a black man. Also, one of his victory quotes in Street Fighter Alpha 3 mentions that he was pale because he was sick.

Mural of an Arcade Industry Legend
On Birdie's SF1 stage, a graffiti piece is seen in the background on the wall that says "Bill Cravens" and show's a guys head. Bill Cravens (b. 1942-d. 2007) was actually a coin-op legend and a former Capcom USA VP of Sales & Marketing (as well as former president of Vectorbeam) that helped out bring the industry back at its feet after 1983's arcade crash and Japan's 1990’s slump.
