Milwaukie: {{wp|Dark Horse Comics|Dark Horse}}, 2019. page 069. ISBN: 978-1-50671-375-5.</ref> are white birds with distinctive crests that are recurring ambient species in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise ever since their debut in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Occasionally, they even serve a gameplay purpose. Their appearance seems to be based on {{wp|tit (bird)|Paridae}}, a family of tits, chickadees, and other with similar body shapes, with some species such as the crested tit sporting crests, though the colors of their feathers and beaks coincide more with those of the albino {{wp|house sparrow}}. They are similar in behavior to other birds throughout the series, such as the [[Bird (Super Mario Sunshine)|Birds]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', as well as the blue birds outside [[Peach's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. | |||
