| | '''Parry the Parallel Bird''' is one of the [[Kong]]'s many Animal Buddies. He only appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. He perfectly parallels Kiddy and Dixie Kong's moves and grabs any item he hits, making him a wonderful tool. Also, if he gets to the [[No Animal Sign]], the Kongs will usually get a large reward such as a [[Bonus Barrel]]. |

| '''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]]. | |

| ==Profiles==
| | Getting Parry to the No Animal Sign can be difficult as contact with any enemy (mostly [[Buzz (species)|Buzzes]]) will instantly defeat poor Parry. Of course, Parry can easily defeat any [[Booty Bird]]s in his path without getting hurt. Parry is also the only non-rideable Animal Buddy to appear in more than two levels. |
