A Mini-Necky.

Mini-Neckies are small, black, hostile birds encountered throughout the Donkey Kong series. As the name suggests, they are miniature versions of Neckies. The first appearance of Mini-Neckies was in Donkey Kong Country; here they would attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong by spitting coconuts at them.

Mini-Neckies next appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, where they were semi-common enemies encountered in various levels. In this game, Mini-Neckies would attack Diddy and Dixie Kong by swooping down at them, and could be defeated by being jumped upon. Unlike the vultures from Donkey Kong Country, these Mini-Neckies wear red polka-dotted bandanas on their heads. Donkey Kong Country 2 also introduced a giant Mini-Necky boss named Krow; and in the Kong's battle with the ghost of Krow ("Kreepy Krow") in Gloomy Gulch, several ghostly Mini-Neckies would occasionally appear and attack the Kongs. During the battle against Kreepy Krow the Kongs would have to jump on a regular Mini-Necky to make a barrel appear, which they could then use to hit Kreepy Krow. Mini-Neckies, along with Krow, reprised their roles in the Game Boy sequel, Donkey Kong Land 2.

After a long absence, Mini-Neckies reappeared in DK: King of Swing and its sequel DK Jungle Climber, where they either swoop at the Kongs or shoot coconuts. Mini-Neckies also appear inside green balloons as items in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast.
