Kessie as an adult.
Kessie is a kestrel with a white belly who lives in The Hundred Acre Wood. She is the second talking bird besides Owl to appear in the series.
History
Kessie first appeared as a chick in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh episode "Find Her, Keep Her". Kessie is cheerful, brave and eager to prove herself. Rabbit saved her from a snowstorm and she came to live with him. As a baby, she nicknamed him "Rabbie". Rabbit was very protective of her and initially did want her flying. After she finally learned to fly, she migrated south for the winter, despite a reluctant Rabbit.
After she flew south, Kessie returned in the episode "A Bird in the Hand" as an adult. In her adult appearance, everyone keeps an eye on her from being captured by Stan and Heff.
In later appearances, she has reverted to being a young bird. After appearing in Seasons of Giving, Kessie was relaunched as a main character in The Book of Pooh, her first regular role. In the series, she is depicted as a puppet.
Voiced by Laura Mooney (adult), Stephanie D'Abruzzo (as a chick) and most recently Amanda Maddock (as a puppet).
