'''Helibirds''' are [[Animal Friends|Jungle Buddies]] found in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. They are a group of birds that work like helicopters, carrying [[Donkey Kong]] to higher places. They appear frequently throughout the game, mostly in tree areas. Donkey Kong first meets Helibirds in their nest.
'''Helibirds''' are [[Animal Friends|Jungle Buddies]] found in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. They are a group of birds who can carry [[Donkey Kong]] to higher places, similarly to what [[Squawks]] can do in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Helibirds make frequent appearances, mostly in tree areas. Their name appears to be a portmanteau of "helicopter" and "bird". They come in various colors, such as blue, purple, green, red, yellow, and black.


Helibirds are also noted for their ability to race. In [[Chopperbird Race]], [[Donkey Kong]] and some Helibirds have to race [[Chopperbird]]. In [[Helibird Dash]], Donkey Kong has an air race with a group of [[Ninjape]]s, each of whom has its own Helibird of a unique color. A Helibird delivers Donkey Kong to his battle with the [[Cactus King]] and [[Ghastly King]].  
Donkey Kong first meets Helibirds in their nest. On two occasions, Helibirds are shown with the ability to race. In [[Chopperbird Race]], [[Donkey Kong]] and some Helibirds have to race [[Chopperbird]]. In [[Helibird Dash]], Donkey Kong has an air race with a group of [[Ninjape]]s, each of whom has its own Helibird of a different color. A Helibird delivers Donkey Kong to his battle with the [[Cactus King]] and [[Ghastly King]].  


Helibirds make additional appearances in ''[[Donkey Kong: Jungle Fever]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong: Banana Kingdom]]''. A Helibird [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] can be obtained in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
