The Great Bird
The Great Bird of the Galaxy was the nickname of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. It was used in the original series as an inside joke. The "Great Bird of the Galaxy", according to Peter David, is actually a giant bird, and appears in the non-canon Star Trek: New Frontier novels.
An early Okudagram was later created during TNG Season 1 that depicted an image of the Great Bird – Gene's face placed on the body of a parrot wearing a Starfleet uniform.
