Tweeter
From the Super Mario Wiki
A Tweeter is a strange, winged bird-like creature that wears a mask and appears in Super Mario Bros. 2. Although they have wings, Tweeters cannot fly; however they are very good at hopping across the ground. Tweeters (like Shy Guys and Ninjis) are easy to pick up and throw at other enemies.
