Fire birds[1] are enemies found in Fire Mountain and Fire Mountain Plus of Mario vs. Donkey Kong. They spawn from Fire Bird Nests and perform four complete flights across a level, much like birds do, before disappearing. Another fire bird spawns from the same nest shortly afterwards.
As soon as they appear from a nest, fire birds will drop an egg covered in flames. They will occasionally try to drop more flaming eggs onto Mario when they spot him underneath. Mario cannot deflect a fire bird's eggs with a handstand like he could do with a bird's eggs, getting burnt if he does so. Mario will also lose a life if he touches a fire bird or a nest. It is impossible to defeat a fire bird.
