==Name Controversy==
====''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''====
The true English name of Quawks went unknown for over a decade; however, popular fanon created by the website [http://www.dkvine.com/ Donkey Kong Universe] stated the character's name is "Squeaks". This name was derived from [[Swanky Kong]]'s trivia game. One question asked "What is the name of your parrot buddy?"and the possible answers were "Squawks", "[[Flapper]]", and "Squeaks". Since then, "Squeaks" was attributed to the unnamed purple parrot, while "Flapper" is used to designate the unnamed blue parrot from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. However, in ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'', he is named Quawks, as he was previously named in Japan.
In '''Donkey Kong 64''', purple parrots similar in appearance to Quawks appear as background characters in some of the game's cutscenes, along with green parrots.
