KFC - Characters - Kentucky Fried Chicken?

I have a set of glasses that were purchased at KFC (before it was known as KFC) in Australia around the late 80’s (possibly early 90’s). They have pictures of 2 characters, one is a tuxedo wearing Fox with a top hat and the other is a Parrot like bird (although it’s possibly a chicken or rooster) with a large orange/yellow beak, wearing blue pants with yellow stripes up the sides and suspenders and a civil war cap (with the guns crossed over the front)

Does anyone remember what these characters were called and how they came to represent KFC?

I have searched the net quite a bit but without the names of the characters, I haven’t been able to locate anything.
Thanks to some totally random listing on ebay from the US, I have found out that the characters were apparently called “Freddie Fox and Charlie” I still have no info as to why they were KFC characters and probably never will. The names ring absolutely no bells with me at all, but that doesn’t surprise me since the 80’s were a long time ago.
