| '''Turkeyjerks''' are avian enemies from ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. There are two varieties: brown and green. The green variety hover in one place and swoop at [[Wario]] if he draws near. The brown Turkeyjerks have the same attack pattern, but they fly back and forth. Either variety may carry rocks that they drop when Wario attempts to go past them. Turkeyjerks are useful for solving puzzles, as if the player shakes them, they lose all their feathers and run forwards. They destroy any stone blocks in their way, allowing Wario to access tunnels that may have been blocked. Turkeyjerks first appear in [[Disturbing Tomb]]. | | '''Turkeyjerks''' are enemies from ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', and their name is a portmanteau of ''turkey'' and ''jerk''.

| **''These high-flying fowl are a lot tougher to handle than they look. They hover on high, waiting for Wario to draw near before swooping down to attack. This dive-bomb assault is so fast that it's usually tough to see a Turkeyjerk coming until it's too late! Jump to dodge a diving Turkeyjerk, then quickly bounce off its head to stun it before it takes to the sky again. Once it's stunned, Wario can dash into a Turkeyjerk to dispatch it, or grab and shake the bird to send it running off!''<ref name=Prima>{{cite|isbn=978-0-7615-6113-2|author=Stratton, Steve|title=''Wario Land: Shake It!''
