Please read above, but to summarize: both designs of the ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' bird are sometimes referred to as "Nitpickers" in home ports (many of which remove one of the designs), while Japanese material for Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' contains a direct reference to Stage 4 of said game but gives a different name to the bird, which otherwise resembles the raven-like design of Nitpicker. It's clear that an effort was made to distinguish them for the Game Boy game, though both designs have yet to reappear in the same game together outside of emulation. The proposal will handle the situation in one of several ways. The first option will partially merge the information for the raven-like version of Nitpicker with the Kuro article. The remaining actions will fully merge the Kuro article with Nitpicker, but the details differ: the first method will still refer to the raven-like variant as Kuro in all appearances (including before they receive their unique name), the second method will refer to the raven-like variant as Kuro in the Game Boy game only, and the third method will refer to the Game Boy appearance as Nitpicker in general. The last option will simply leave the Nitpicker and Kuro articles alone, which I don't recommend since it's essentially [[MarioWiki:Once and only once|two articles for the same enemy]]. See also: [[Talk:Fire#Decide how to handle this enemy|Fire]].
