A flock of Nitpickers<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1985|title=''Donkey Kong Jr.'' NES instruction booklet|page=5|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref><ref>Instruction manual for Atari 8-bit port{{page needed}}</ref><ref>Instruction manual for Atari 7800 port{{page needed}}</ref> (also known as '''Stookybirds''')<ref>Instruction manuals for ColecoVision, Intellivision, and Coleco Adam ports{{page needed}}</ref> is released by [[Mario]] to impede [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] from progressing in the [[Jump Board Scene]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]''. The birds are depicted yellow, having a distinct magenta coloration on their wings and beaks; likewise, they are slender and bear an unflinching attitude. They proceed in flying in a straight line after being sent by Mario, traveling along a wide platform. They then descend into the small opening in the platform, continuing their flight thereafter in the opposite direction, under the platform. Occasionally, Nitpickers drop [[egg]]s when turning the other direction. The eggs, as well as the birds themselves, are harmful to Donkey Kong Jr. and can drain one of his lives upon coming into contact. On the other hand, Nitpickers can be defeated by having [[fruit]] dropped on them.

Along with [[Snapjaw]]s, Mario employs another flock of Nitpickers (also known as [[Bird (Donkey Kong series)|Bird]]s) in the [[Chain Scene]]. In the Atari 8-bit, ColecoVision, and Coleco Adam ports, the two types share the same sprite. A Nitpicker also appears on the {{file link|DKJ Instruction Banner.jpg|arcade cabinet instructions}}.
