Banana Birds are supporting characters in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]]. They were separated from the [[Banana Queen]] during the game's events, and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] try to reunite them with her. A Banana Bird can usually be obtained from completing a memory challenge in a [[secret cave]], releasing the Banana Bird gets from the crystal at the top of the ceiling. A few of the Banana Birds can be obtained from a [[Brothers Bear|Brother Bear]]. After the player characters rescue every Banana Bird, defeating [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] in the [[Knautilus]], and return to [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]] or [[Wrinkly's Retreat]] in the remake, every Banana Bird flies themselves and the Kongs over to the Banana Queen. It is revealed that K. Roolenstein had cursed them, causing the babies to be imprisoned in crystal and the mother behind an [[evil barrier]]. All of the Banana Birds sing, breaking the barrier.
Banana Birds have an essential role in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. A Banana Bird can usually be obtained from a [[secret cave]], where the player must play a memory game and copy the order in which the four crystals flash. If done correctly, a Banana Bird gets released from the crystal at the top of the ceiling. A few of the Banana Birds can be obtained from a [[Brothers Bear]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Dixie and Kiddy can earn a Banana Bird from [[Funky Kong]], [[Swanky Kong]] and [[Cranky Kong]] if the player completes their respective minigames.
 
Three of the Banana Birds can obtained with the [[Gyrocopter]], by flying to their respective secret caves. After rescuing every Banana Bird, the Kongs must visit [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]] (or [[Wrinkly's Retreat]] in the Game Boy Advance remake) to have the Banana Birds fly to the Banana Queen, taking the Kongs with them. It is revealed that [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] had cursed them, causing the babies to be imprisoned in crystal and the mother behind an [[evil barrier]]. All of the Banana Birds sing, which causes the barrier to break.

[[File:DKa Street Performance mode.png|thumb|Banana Birds appear in a "Street Performance" mode of ''Donkey Konga'']]
In ''[[Donkey Konga]]'', many Banana Birds hop around the lower part of the screen while Donkey Kong plays a song. They only act as scenery and have no in-game effect. Banana Birds appear in every musical performance mode ("Street Performance", "Challenge", and "Jam Session"). Only a few hop around the screen in "Jam Session".
 
Banana Birds are not featured in multiplayer mode, as the bottom portion is reserved for the second player ([[Diddy Kong]]).


Banana Birds appear in the following locations:
