====Birdie Lovers====
The '''Birdie Lovers''' is a bird-watching group mentioned in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' live-action-segment "[[Lost Dog]]," which [[Luigi]] is apparently a member of. At the beginning of the segment, when [[Mario]] calls Luigi's whistling ridiculous, Luigi responds that Mario's chipmunk imitations are ridiculous, and tells Mario that he is preparing for his Birdie Lovers meeting.
Later, as [[Pam Matteson]] cries after Mario says that none of the dogs he sees on [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing|Mario Brothers Plumbing]]'s periscope are her lost dog [[Ike]], Luigi picks up the phone and tells [[List of implied characters#Rowley|Rowley]] that he is not forgotten about the Birdie Lovers meeting this weekend, and that he will meet them.
