Kaibādo (generically referred to by Nintendo Power as birds[1]) are enemies in the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong. They appear as chubby birds and bear a strong resemblance to real world jays. Kaibādo are encountered in the Jungle, Stage 4-1 in specific. Each of these stages contains a Bird Nest that spawns an indefinite amount of Kaibādo, one at a time. After prevailing from within their nests, Kaibādo birds fly in a horizontal path across the screen, descending a short distance and sharply steering in the opposite direction after they encounter one of the screen's limits. Before they make their way outside the stage's boundaries and despawn, Kaibādo perform three complete flights across the screen. Sometimes, they briefly stop mid-air and attempt to drop an egg on Mario below. Should the egg hit Mario, he loses a life; on the other hand, it can be deflected and neutralized with a handstand. Kaibādo are also dangerous when coming in contact with Mario, but can be downed with falling fruit or an improvised, carriable projectile, such as a key.

Kaibādo are identical in behavior to Hawks and Birds, which are other successors of Nitpickers.

They often target and attack.

At first glance, it looks like a cute sparrow, but upon closer inspection, it has a rather scary face. They fly around from side to side and drop their eggs on Mario, so you must be careful. If it stops right above you, move to the left or right to avoid it.
