Talk:Flapper the Parrot

Names

I'm starting to think that Flapper and Squeaks aren't the parrots official names and Swanky Kong's answer choices were used to confuse you. Plus he asked "who is your TRUE animal buddy?" meaning that Flapper and Squeaks were just false answers to trick you. Because if those are their real names then they would have been in some other sort of trivia question like "what is your blue parrot animal buddy's name?" or "what is your green parrot animal buddy's name?". So maybe we should put the other parrot articles under different names? --Taj The Genie 15:32, 1 February 2007 (EST)

Um... Of course they aren't the official names, they were just taken from Swanky's quiz by fans and applied to the parrots. They have no actual names, they aren't mentioned in manuals, guidebooks, the games or the game credits. -- Sir Grodus

Yeah. We use these names simply because many many fans associate those names with the parrots. They aren't official; they aren't canon; they are merely a way for us to identify these different parrots. -- Son of Suns

Is Flapper actually a different parrot from Quawks in DKC3? I always thought they were the same. --DavySprocket5

Flapper is blue, Quawks is purple; we must assume they are different birds based on this fact. That's all we really have to go on (to my knowledge), so saying anything more on the subject would be speculation, which is dissuaded on this Wiki. - Walkazo 19:29, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

Well that's a good point. I always assumed that they were the same, but that it was just a design inconsistency, such as Squawks suddenly becoming much larger in DKC2 than he was in DKC1, or how Bowser's size always changes, but I guess we can't know for certain unless it's been officially stated, which it hasn't. --DavySprocket5

Wait a minute... Flapper is blue? Unless I'm colorblind, Flapper is purple, just like Quawks. Fawfulfury65

While the screenshot on this article certainly looks purple, comparing the sprites to the right, there is a clear difference between the two birds, and saying Flapper (top) is blue in comparison to Quawk's purple plumage is a lot clearer than saying he's "indigo" or some other intermediate between the two colours. Although... the sprite could always have been altered... Maybe there's only one purple bird name Quawks, with no "Flapper" at all... - Walkazo 16:15, 14 February 2010 (EST)

That's what I think it is. And, both of them are very similar, as neither of them can spit pellets (or whatever it is) at enemies. Fawfulfury65
