The original Bird Brain is far from stupid. Thoth was ancient Egypt's god of wisdom, who invented writing and worked as Ra's secretary. He's also a creator god who helped the eight gods of Hermopolis to set up the whole universe with his mad hacker skills. Usually he's associated with the ibis (a water bird, like a stork), and sometimes he's shown as a baboon. But no matter what form he's in, he's always carrying around a pen and papyrus to write down his latest invention.
