Maude and Flo

Maude and Flo are two minor non-playable-characters found in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They are two of the many crows sitting on the trees scattered across Twilight Town. Unlike the other crows however, Maude and Flo are the only ones with known names. Like all of the birds in Twilight Town, Maude and Flo pretend to be regular animals around other people, and like to gossip as soon as they are left alone. Maude and Flo especially like to talk about their families and the careers of their children. Maude is married to a crow named Bob and has a son named Billy, whereas Flo seems to have many children, the oldest one being a son named Ronnie.

''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Maude and Flo appear in chapter four of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, when Mario enters Twilight Town in search of the Ruby Star. Mario can try to talk to them, but they will just respond in bird noises, like all crows. Later on, after Doopliss stole Mario's name, Mario can use Vivian's abilities to eavesdrop on their conversations. While this is needed to get informations from one specific crow in the east of Twilight Town, using this strategy in front of Maude and Flo will not gain the player any advantages, but some casual information about their characters and families. As Mario progresses in the game, Maude's and Flo's relatives also evolve and live their lifes.
