Buzby was the mascot for British Telecommunications from 1976-1982. He was a yellow talking bird cartoon character who seemed to have a lot of friends and would usually talk to them on his telephone. The slogan for Buzby's commercials was 'Make someone happy with a phone call'.

Buzby was voiced by Bernard Cribbins.

Buzby's appearance changed throughout the years. In 1976 with the first commercial he starred in, he was brown instead of yellow. Then later in 1976 he was changed yellow. He soon acquired his T-shirt with BUZBY written on it.

Then in 1977 he was animated better, as he was now animated by Oscar Grillo.

The last Buzby commercial featured a pigeon.
