'''Squawks''' is a green-feathered parrot and an [[Animal Friend]] who first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. He frequently assists [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and the other [[Kong]]s on their journeys. Squawks also has a related purple variant named [[Quawks]], who appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' | '''Squawks''' is a green-feathered parrot and an [[Animal Friend]] who first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Squawks only appears in one level, [[Torchlight Trouble]]. His [[Animal Crate]] appears at the start, and when [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] break it open, Squawks begins to follow the [[Kong]]s through the dark cavern. Squawks is about half the size of the Kongs, and he carries a bright lantern with his talons and uses it to light up the surrounding area, which enables Donkey Kong and Diddy to see a bit of the path ahead. Squawks is the only Animal Friend who cannot be mounted and to not have an associated [[animal token]] and its own corresponding area. | |||
Early in | Early in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''{{'}}s development, Donkey Kong was meant to use a mining helmet in "dark levels", and is depicted wearing it in [[:File:Dkc scrapped helmet.jpeg|two]] [[:File:DK Krash Lost Mines DKC.png|pre-release]] promotional renders. The item was eventually scrapped and replaced with Squawks.<ref>{{cite|author=[[Mark Stevenson|playtonicalMark]]|date=July 5, 2015|url=twitter.com/playtonicalMark/status/617824941489160192|title=@playtonicalMark @wildvine47 @NujaviBardales @BringBackKRool @WinkySteve originally intended as the torch light for dark levels.

Squawks | Squawks makes his fourth appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', where he is unchanged from his previous appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. However, Squawks is less common because he only appears in five levels, and two of them are only within a [[Bonus Level]]: [[Springin' Spiders]], [[Low-G Labyrinth]]'s second Bonus Level, [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3)|Pot Hole Panic]], [[Stampede Sprint]]'s second Bonus Level, and lastly [[Swoopy Salvo]]. | ||

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS version]], Squawks is sold for 15 [[Banana Coin]]s (five Banana Coins in the Nintendo 3DS version's New Mode) at [[Cranky Kong's Shop]]. When purchased, Squawks appears at the bottom-left corner of the screen in a level. He assists the player in locating undiscovered [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Pieces]] throughout that level. Squawks yells whenever an undiscovered Puzzle Piece is nearby. Squawks can also find switches in the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] world, which are needed to open the path to [[Feather Fiend]]. The Kongs use Squawks an unlimited number of times if they can afford it. Additionally, while scrolling through the island map, the player can see Squawks circling around whatever world they are currently hovering over. Starting with this game, Squawks has two backwards-pointing toes just like a real parrot, whereas in previously-released games he was portrayed with only one. | ||

In "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", a comic published in the same magazine, Squawks is seen conducting an "automatic parrot wake-up service" to get the Kongs off their palms in the morning. He uses a microphone and speakers to tell a joke. Diddy calls Squawks a "dumb parrot" and claims that he is telling the same joke every morning. | In "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", a comic published in the same magazine, Squawks is seen conducting an "automatic parrot wake-up service" to get the Kongs off their palms in the morning.

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Squawks first appears in the opening cutscene, where he informs [[Donkey Kong]] that his [[Golden Banana]]s were stolen by [[King K. Rool]]. During the adventure, Squawks has various roles: he provides instructions to the Kongs at different parts of their journey. Squawks also carries a lantern in some subterranean locations, a role taken from ''Donkey Kong Country''. This is the first game where Squawks talks, and he opens most of his dialogue with "Squawk!" and ends them with "Bwark!". Some cutscenes show more than one Squawks. In [[DK Isles]], if the Kongs play on some [[Music Pad]]s, Squawks rewards them a Golden Banana. At [[Angry Aztec]], when [[Tiny Kong]] shrinks to her [[Mini-Monkey]] size and plays on a Music Pad, Squawks shows up to carry her into a tower where she races the [[Beetle (character)|Beetle]]. In [[Fungi Forest]], there are two more opportunities for Tiny to ride Squawks: first inside of a tree to get a seed and secondly to reach the top of a giant beanstalk. Unlike the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, Squawks cannot carry any of the Kongs while they are at regular size. | |||
