'''Birds''' are [[Nitpicker]]-like toys that debut in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. They fly around an area, dropping harmful eggs onto characters.

In [[Donkey Kong Jungle (world)|Donkey Kong Jungle]], they routinely spawn from [[Bird Nest|nests]] and perform three complete flights across the level before disappearing off-screen. Once they spot [[Mario]] underneath, they drop an [[egg]]; getting hit by the egg or the Bird itself results in Mario losing a life. The eggs laid by Birds can be deflected with a [[handstand]], while the Birds themselves are impervious to any attacks. In [[Fire Mountain (world)|Fire Mountain]], regular Birds are replaced by [[Firebird]]s.

In the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake for the Nintendo Switch]], birds pause above Mario before dropping their eggs. They can also be [[stomp]]ed on. In addition, they appear to be organic, unlike other games.

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', a single Bird appears in [[Jungle Hijinks]], during the battle against [[Donkey Kong]] in [[Boss Game 8]]. It is more clearly depicted as a toy, with metallic-looking joints under its wings. It serves as an obstacle to the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Marios]], swooping down on them if they are underneath it. Each time Donkey Kong is damaged, the Bird briefly increases in speed and drops eggs towards the Mini Marios. A Mini Mario can drop a [[Banana Bunch]] on the Bird to temporarily destroy it. The Bird reappears shortly after being destroyed.
