| Birds appearing in ''Wario Land II'' have slim, torpedo-like bodies, and are light-blue with a reddish-orange beak in the Game Boy Color-enhanced version. When Wario approaches them, they charge at him in a straight line. When they hit Wario, he will lose some of his [[coin]]s and be thrown back. Birds can be defeated by jumping on their heads and sometimes Wario has to take advantage of this, using them as stepping stones to reach higher locations. Unlike other enemies, birds respawn when the screen is not focused on their original spot. | | Birds appear in ''[[Wario Land II]]'' that are light-blue coloured. They have slim, torpedo-like bodies.

| |
| Birds with a different appearance can be found in ''Wario Land 3'' as well. They are more pudgy in this installment and they come in blue and orange. Like in the previous game, they charge at Wario if he is in front or behind them, turning around if he is behind. If hit, blue birds cause Wario to be stunned and knocked backwards, while orange ones cause Wario to be [[Crazy Wario]]. If Wario is hit by a bird, it will fly back to its original position, but if he dodges a rushing bird, it will keep going without stopping, though it will return to position if their original position is off-screen. With the exception of the beak, the bird is vulnerable to most forms of attack. The orange birds only appear in [[The Grasslands]], where there are six of them in the level, while the blue birds appear in more levels.

| | Birds with a different appearance can be found in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' as well. They are more pudgy in this installment and they come in two colours, namely blue and orange. Their behaviour is similar to that of the previous Birds, meaning that they will attack in a straight line when they spot Wario. What will happen upon impact depends on the colour of the attacking Bird. Blue Birds will cause Wario to be propelled backwards while the orange ones will transform him into [[Crazy Wario]], so he has to be healed with water before the player can proceed. |
