Back when Katie's Bird (1003) was first handled, he was temporarily given a tag with an exclamation point as his lineage was not yet known and he was a little difficult to handle. Back in July 2020, biologists decided to give Katie's Bird (1003), a juvenile at the time, a temporary tag pending his official biological test results to come in. Lo and behold, his results arrived in October 2020 and Katie's Bird (1003) was officially identified as the chick of Kodama (646) and Amigo (204). He was then given his official tag with the number 3 on it which is short for 1003.

Katie's Bird (1003) is named in honor of Katie Lannon, a longtime and beloved VWS employee who lost her battle with cancer at the young age of 34. Learn more about Katie Lannon.
