"Bird Girl of Guantanamole" is the fourth episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law season three, and the twenty-fourth overall. It aired on August 14, 2005 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It was written by Michael Ouweleer and Erik Richter, and directed by Richard Ferguson-Hull. The Hanna-Barbera series ridiculed in this episode is both Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole and Birdman.
Harvey represents Morocco Mole in a trial to be released from a prison camp in the Middle East, while Birdgirl/Judy Sebben comes on a little thick as Harvey's wannabe sidekick.

Behind the scenes
- The episode title is a cross between the film Birdman of Alcatraz, and the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay.
- Secret's trial happened in "Blackwatch Plaid".
- Birdgirl's introduction turns the show into a parody of the live-action 1960's Batman TV series, which includes the Birdphone, Birdmobile, a secret button in a bust of Phil Ken Sebben to reveal the Birdpoles, Birdsignal, fights with the bad guys with colorful words to point it out like "Punch!" and "Pun!" along with reminiscent music.
- Following the previous episode where Harvey had a calendar with Victoria Principal's birthday marked for January 3rd (with a reminder on January 2nd), X now has the same calendar marking.
- Judy and Phil's relationship is not based on the original Birdman cartoon.
- When Reducto addresses Mr. Mole, Harvey's "mole" reappears from "SPF".
- When Fred Flintstone pops up and says, "You're dead to me can opener," it is a recreation of what happened in "The Dabba Don".
- Ouweleer, Richter, and Brewster provide audio commentary for this episode on DVD releases.
