The title of this article is official, but it comes from development data such as an internal filename. If an acceptable public source is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.

This article is about a bird enemy in Mario vs. Donkey Kong. For information about one of Falco's special moves in the Super Smash Bros. series, see List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee § Falco.

Fire Birds are enemies found in Fire Mountain and Fire Mountain Plus of Mario vs. Donkey Kong. They spawn from Fire Bird Nests and perform four complete flights across a level, much like Birds do, before disappearing. Another Fire Bird spawns from the same nest shortly afterwards.

As soon as they appear from a nest, Fire Birds will drop an egg covered in flames. They will occasionally try to drop more flaming eggs onto Mario when they spot him underneath. Mario cannot deflect a Fire Bird's eggs with a handstand like he could do with a Bird's eggs, getting burnt if he does so. Mario will also lose a life if he touches a Fire Bird or a nest. It is impossible to defeat a Fire Bird.
