Phugoid Floyd, the founder of Loxia Labs (and its developer-in-residence), is an unusally gifted and ambitious parrot crossbill (Loxia pityopsittacus).

He periodically goes roaming on the coastal islands east of Stockholm (Sweden). Here he makes his living harvesting pine cones, although he wishes to emphasize now that he has many less mundane interests and fields of expertise too. And promising ideas -- "You just wait and see", he likes to chirp.

On several occasions he has very graciously (and possibly ill-advised) agreed to lend his good name -- as a nome de plume -- to one Martin Bergman, a secretive maker and bird fancier.
