'''Parry''' is an [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]] appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' only. He is a small yellow bird with a blue head and a white neck-stripe; his blue wing-feathers are tipped with red, and he has two long, curved tail feathers, giving him a similar appearance to certain {{wp|bird-of-paradise|birds-of-paradise}}, such as the {{wp|red bird-of-paradise}}. Parry's name is a shortened form of the word "parallel" ("to be an equal distance apart"), and likely also plays off "paradise." Parry is the only Animal Friend from the game who does not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. He cannot be mounted, comparably to [[Squawks]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and his [[animal crate]] is smaller than the other Animal Friends, given his short size. Parry is also the only Animal Friend of the game without his own [[Animal Barrel]]. Parry flies above [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] and mimics their movements, hence his name. Parry can sometimes obtain otherwise unreachable items, such as in instances where if the Kongs jump, Parry mimics this behavior. Parry is the weakest of the Animal Friends since he is not only defeated from touching nearly every enemy, but also has no means of attack. [[Booty Bird]]s are the only enemy that Parry can defeat, simply by touching them. If Parry is taken beyond his [[No Animal Sign]], this spawns a valuable reward, such as a [[Blue Balloon]] or even an accessible [[Bonus Barrel]].

'''Parry the Parallel Bird''' is an [[Animal Friend]] who only appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. He is a small yellow bird with a blue head and a white neck-stripe; his blue wing-feathers are tipped with red, and his tail slightly resembles that of a real world {{wp|Quetzal}}. Parry's name is a shortened form of the word "parallel" ("to be an equal distance apart").

Similar to [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''{{'}}s [[Torchlight Trouble]], Parry is an unmountable Animal Friend in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble''. Parry's [[Animal Crate]] is smaller than the other Animal Friends, given his short size. Parry is only Animal Friend of the game to not have his own [[Animal Barrel]]. Parry flies above [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] and mimics their movements, hence his name.

The [[Kong]]s can primarily utilize Parry to get out-of-reach items, such as [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s, [[Banana]]s, or an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. In this way, the Kongs can use him to grab out-of-reach items, typically from mimicking their jump movement. Parry is the most vulnerable Animal Friend, as he cannot attack any enemy but can be defeated by most aerial enemies, in most instances, [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es. [[Booty Bird]]s are the inky exception, as Parry can easily defeat one by touching it.

The Kongs usually receive a large reward if they successfully navigate Parry past its [[No Animal Sign]], such as a blue [[Extra Life Balloon]], or even an accessible [[Bonus Barrel]].

Parry appears in five levels, most of which each have a different level theme: [[Squeals on Wheels]], [[Rocket Barrel Ride]], [[Barrel Drop Bounce]], [[Ropey Rumpus]], and [[Stampede Sprint]]. Nearly half of Parry's level appearances are in waterfall-themed stages.
|EngE=Parry will fly a certain height above Dixie/Kiddy and grab out of reach items. He will leave if he gets hit by an enemy.
|FreE=Parry vole juste au-dessus de Dixie/Kiddy, ce qui lui permet d'attraper des objets situés en hauteur. Il disparaît s'il est touché par un ennemi.
|Ger=Parry fliegt immer in einer bestimmten Höhe über Dixie/Kiddy und erreicht so Items in großer Höhe. Wenn er einen Gegner berührt, verschwindet Parry.
|Ita=Parry vola in alto rispetto a Dixie e Kiddy e raccoglie gli oggetti fuori dalla tua portata. Si ritira quando viene colpito da un nemico.
|SpaE=Parry irá volando sobre Dixie o Kiddy, y recogerá los objetos que ellos no alcancen. Se irá si toca un enemigo.
