Birdie is a layout similar to Kuntem for very small keyboards.

In addition to only using two keys on each pinky, Q and X can be moved to a layer or combo for additional space savings. This allows Birdie to be used on 23332 keyboards, which have two pinky keys and two inner column keys.

Birdie does not specify the positions of ;, :, /, ?, and -, though since Birdie is made for small keyboards, it is assumed that they will be on a separate layer. This particular arrangement of those characters is arbitrary and not from the original source.
