Mascot Intermittently since 1992, Pirate FM have employed a mascot that accompanies the broadcast team to events. From launch until the early 2000s, the character was known as "Jasper Parrot". Recent years have seen Pirate FM revisit the concept with a new parrot character, named "Dreckly" after an audience vote.
