Bill is Kilgore Trout's pet parakeet. At the beginning of the novel Kilgore offers to grant Bill three wishes. Bill first wants to leave his cage and then he wants the apartment window opened. Bill then apparently rethinks his future and flies back to the cage. Kilgore comments that Bill has wisely used his three wishes by making sure he still has something to wish for.
