This looks a ton like Pidgin from SuperTuxKart! Definitely one of the best characters in the game too

Yes, it's the mascot of the instant messaging client Pidgin

Pidgin has been around since '99! https://pidgin.im/

Man, pidgin was the fucking best back in the late 00s - mid 10s. Everyone was spread across a handful of different chat programs and systems and you could use one program for all of them.

I think I had AIM, MSN (Windows Live Messenger? I remember they rebranded it like 4 times), Yahoo Messenger, Skype, and Facebook Messenger all set up. Iirc I even had multiple AIM accounts signed in on it at one point.

Unfortunately smart phones coralled everyone into whichever had support on them, which I remember to be Facebook Messenger. Then walled garden shenanigans closed down shit further.

Pidgin was the best! I will always love that purple bird
