Turkeyjerk

Turkeyjerks are enemies from Wario Land: Shake It!. There are two varieties, brown and green. The green variety will hover in one place and swoop at Wario if he draws near. The brown Turkeyjerks have the same attack pattern, but they fly back and forth. Either variety may carry rocks that they will drop when Wario attempts to go past them. Turkeyjerks are useful for solving puzzles, as if the player shakes them, they will lose all their feathers and run forwards. They will destroy any stone blocks in their way, allowing Wario to access tunnels that may have been blocked. Turkeyjerks first appear in Just Plains.

Trivia

 * Their name is based on turkey, but the word jerk has been pasted after it. This gives the name a rhyming quality as well showcasing the bird's personality.
