-'''Swoopys''' are large, red, sharp-beaked birds encountered in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' Swoopys are the aerial equivalent of [[Bazza]]s and [[Lemguin]]s, possessing a similar attack pattern of flying in lines from one hole in their tree to another. Despite being enemies , some Swoopys can be unintentionally helpful, if a Swoopy misses a Kong it will sometimes get stuck in a wall and can be used as a platform.

+'''Swoopies''' are red birds with a long beak that appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Swoopies are named after their main trait of swooping, just like the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' enemy [[Swoop]]. Some Swoopies, upon noticing [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] nearby, quickly swoops into a tree trunk, where its beak to become stuck, allowing the [[Kong]]s to use it as a platform and reach higher areas. Swoopies with this behavior first appear in the level [[Springin' Spiders]]. During parts of the second half of [[Swoopy Salvo]], where Swoopies appear throughout, the Kongs must jump on some Swoopies to progress. Additionally, Swoopy Salvo features an unlimited number of Swoopies that can fly quickly through small holes within the hollow trees, a type of behavior similarly shown by [[Bazza]]s and [[Lemguin]]s. These Swoopies fly at a diagonal pattern, but can be defeated by either being [[jump]]ed on or from one of [[Squawks]]' [[egg]] projectile. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], there is a photography of Swoopy under the [[Flying Fiends]] category.

-In the mandatory worlds ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' a Swoopy is only encountered briefly in one of the levels in the area [[Kremwood Forest]], [[Springin' Spiders]]. However, in the optional world [[Krematoa]], the Swoopys have an entire level dedicated to them, called "[[Swoopy Salvo]]". Here [[Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] had to venture through a large petrified forest, all the while dodging barrages of Swoopys. Several Swoopys had to be used as steps to climb up trees.
