bird and sugar are pretty much the same but i wouldn't know much because i haven't read much of the book. birds dad works at Burdells Auto Repairs and always has a grease mark on him, all of the time.

bird and sugars lives are really mainly about going down to the lake near their houses after school and just hang out or they sometimes spy on people if anyone is there. sugar is afraid of birds dad and always stares at his tattoo that says 'live to ride', he got it when bird was born, now he thinks motorbikes are dangerous and always fights with birds grandad about whether motorbikes are dangerous or not and how he always goes out on his motorbike with his friends and asks if birds dad wants to go with them and take bird and his answer is always 'no'.
