A | A [[Bird Nest]] can be seen in the Game Boy ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'', in [[Stage 9-4]] of the [[Tower (world)|Tower]], a boss stage that resembles the Chain Scene from ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' It spawns two Birds on-screen at a time. After rising slowly from their nest, Birds fly horizontally across the room, moving down a short distance and turning back upon meeting the room's limits. They perform three complete flights, and flee outside the map of the stage afterwards. Birds can not be practically defeated, as the stage they appear in presents no means of combat against them. They now attempt to drop eggs on [[Mario]] if they fly above him. Unless they are avoided, or deflected with a [[handstand]], these eggs can plummet down on the character and cause him to lose a life. | ||
Birds are identical in behavior to [[Hawks]] and [[Kaibādo]], which are other successors of [[Nitpicker]]s. | Birds are identical in behavior to [[Hawks]] and [[Kaibādo]], which are other successors of [[Nitpicker]]s. | ||

In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', two Birds have to be avoided by Donkey Kong Jr. as he climbs two ropes in the third difficulty of the [[Donkey Kong Jr. (microgame)|Donkey Kong Jr.]] microgame.
