A few of the Banana Birds can be obtained from a Brother Bear. After the player characters rescue every Banana Bird, defeating Baron K. Roolenstein in the Knautilus, and return to Wrinkly's Save Cave or Wrinkly's Retreat in the remake, every Banana Bird flies themselves and the Kongs over to the Banana Queen. It is revealed that K.
