Conrad Birdie is a fictional character from the play Bye, Bye Birdie (later made into a film). In the story, Birdie is about to leave his act because he has been drafted. The play is a satire on the rock 'n roll craze of the late 1950's, including the near hysteria when Elvis Presley was drafted. The character pokes fun at more than just Presley, however -- his name is a satire on another star, Conway Twitty.
