Bingo Heeler is one of the main characters of Bluey. Serving the role as a deuteragonist, she is the younger daughter of Bandit and Chilli, the younger sister of Bluey, and niece of Stripe, Trixie, Rad, and Brandy.

Bluey.tv Description[edit | edit source]

Bingo is a little ball of energy! She’s kind, curious, determined and loves to laugh. More than anything, she loves diving into pretend games with her big sister, Bluey, their friends, and family.

Whether she’s imagining herself as Snowdrop, Tap Girl, or a fluttering butterfly, her creativity knows no bounds.

While Bingo occasionally drifts into her own little world, she deeply treasures her moments playing with Bluey. At times, keeping up with her sister’s games can be a bit challenging, but Bingo finds her way through.

Bingo loves new discoveries in the world and often finds herself captivated by the small wonders of the world, like a blooming flower or a tiny insect making its way across a leaf. She might occasionally lose track of time, but she’s very good at living in the moment and being present with her family.

Bingo is Bluey's younger sister. She’s 4 years old, and a red heeler like her mum. Bingo also likes to play but she is a bit quieter than Bluey, so is more likely to be the customer than the shop owner. Sometimes though, when Bluey asks her to be the doctor, rather than the patient, she really enjoys it. When she’s not playing you can find her in the yard talking to tiny bugs or off lost in her own beautiful world.

Appearance[edit | edit source]

Bingo is a Red Heeler with light cream, orange and dark orange fur. She has cream feet, hands, tail tip, chest, muzzle and eyebrows, orange legs, arms, tail stem, torso and inner ears, and a dark orange tail spot, back spot, left and right head and outer ears. She also has a brown nose.

Personality[edit | edit source]

Bingo loves to play, but she is usually happy to let Bluey take the lead[1].

She is a sensitive child, and many episodes center around her feelings being hurt[2][3][4], and other characters' subsequent efforts to cheer her up[5][6][7][8]. She often has trouble expressing herself[5][9][10]. Like Bluey, she is very imaginative.[11] In other ways, she can be unusually mature - she enjoys vegetables[12][13], is able to stand up for herself[14][15], is able to organise her things[16], and plans ahead[17].

She likes bugs[18], and often takes a break from her game to observe one[19][20][21]. She also shows an interest in space[22][5], books[5][16], and ballet[23][24].

Biography[edit | edit source]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Her Bluey.tv description incorrectly labels her as four, rather than five (she has been this age as of Handstand).
  • It is currently shown that Bingo can only count to fourteen as seen in Hide and Seek and possibly Exercise.
  • Bingo was referred to as a male by a contact who worked on the 2016 pilot.
    • Some believe that it was a simple mistake, but others take this as proof that Bingo was originally male, and the change to make Bingo female occurred due to the team believing that Bingo being male would make the Heeler family too similar to Peppa Pig's family.
    • Bingo is sometimes confused for a boy, as Bingo is considered a male dog's name due to a very famous folk song. This is less common than for her sister, due to her resemblance to Chilli.
  • Bingo and Socks, Bluey and Muffin's respective little sisters, have so far not had their middle names revealed.
  • Bingo has her own dedicated episode of the same name in season 2, complete with special intro.
  • It is often shown that Lila is Bingo's best friend, which started through Lila's first day at Kindergarten in Daddy Dropoff. An older Bingo and Lila can also be seen at the end of the episode.
  • Conversely, she considers Cookie to be her rival.
  • Bingo speaks with a faint, but noticeable nasally voice.
  • In some episodes, whenever she interacts with an insect, her close-ups are in 3D animation instead of 2D.
  • She is the second character (after Chloe) who had their birthday and aged up in the series.
  • Her favourite colour is blue as mentioned in Easter.
  • In The Pool, Helicopter, and Duck Cake, it has been mentioned that Bingo is taking ballet, gymnastics and mini-hockey respectively.
  • She sleeps with Floppy, a stuffed bunny she had since she was a baby as shown in her baby picture from Smoochy Kiss.
  • Bingo sometimes finds some games too rough, as mentioned in the episode Yoga Ball. This episode also reveals that when she wants to opt out of something, she will bark, which is called her "big-girl bark". However, this seems to have improved through later episodes in the show, such as Pirates.
  • In season two, Bingo’s car seat has changed. In season one, she was in a lap-sash seat and the creators received feedback from fans saying she wasn’t big enough for that, so now she’s in a four-point harness seat.
  • Bingo is very similar in appearance to her aunt Brandy, as mentioned in Onesies.
  • Bingo is the first character to cry audibly. ("Sleepytime")
  • "Onesies" reveals that she likes to mimic the personality of whichever onesie she wears, and if she pretends to kill anyone, they have to pretend to be dead.
  • "Hotel" reveals that when the Heeler sisters make pretend hotels, she likes to be a "crazy pillow" (lying under the "guest's" head and poking at them).
  • "BBQ" reveals that she owns a small kids' chair which she sits in when she's feeling worn-out, which she refers to as her "relaxing chair".
  • When she is hungry, it can either make her indecisive (seen in "Bingo") or squirmy (seen in "Mum School").
