Though official sources said [[Birdo]]s were birds, they're still not birds - take what they say with a grain of salt and make judgement calls when necessary; this needs a judgement call. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck (that's an old proverb, btw). Anyway I'm not saying we should go writing about how they're birds in the article, but I think they should be put back on the Template for navigation's sake. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:40, 27 August 2008 (EDT) |

Is it just me, or do these guys look like a single segment of a Wiggler with added bill and tail? --Someone Else 11:03, 23 November 2007 (EST)
They do, but why are you asking? Mr. Guy the Guy Talk!
Eh, I don't know... It was just an observation. --Someone Else
Is there any proof that Cataquacks are birds? Other than a duck-like bill, they have no other bird-like features. 1337Yoshi
- Whoever said they were bir... *sees Bird template* What's this doing here? *removes* Marcelagus (T • C • E)
- The name implies they're meant to be birds, and unlike Birdos they have beaks... First-impressions-wise, they seem like freakish ducks, and I think it would be more appropritate to include them in the Bird Template than to totally exclude that possibility. - Walkazo 00:25, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
- Hmm... now that I think of it, they do have "quack" in their names, but it's just a possiblity/assumption nontheless. Nothing official yet. Are mutant bird-looking creatures still birds? Marcelagus (T • C • E)
- True, but are giant, fire-breathing demons whith spiked shelles still turtles? If Nintendo's willing to make that sorta stretch for Bowser (and all the other "turtles"), they probably view Cataquaks in the same light. - Walkazo 17:13, 27 August 2008 (EDT)
