| ==History==
| |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
| |
| Banana Birds are supporting characters in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]]. They were separated from the [[Banana Queen]] during the game's events, and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] try to reunite them with her. A Banana Bird can usually be obtained from completing a memory challenge in a [[secret cave]], releasing the Banana Bird gets from the crystal at the top of the ceiling. A few of the Banana Birds can be obtained from a [[Brothers Bear|Brother Bear]]. After the player characters rescue every Banana Bird, defeating [[King K. Rool|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. Roolenstein had cursed them, causing the babies to be imprisoned in crystal and the mother behind an [[evil barrier]]. All of the Banana Birds sing, breaking the barrier.

| Banana Birds appear in the following locations:
| | They play a very important part in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', where they were bought from a few of the [[Brothers Bear]] and won from [[Swanky Kong]] and [[Funky Kong]], among others. They were principally found, though, in [[Banana Bird Cave|secret caves]] in the [[Northern Kremisphere]], where a memory game with four colored crystals was played to obtain a bird and free it from its crystal prison. |

| | All except four could be found using Funky's ordinary rental vehicles, but to get the last four and to get the final score of 103%, Kiddy and Dixie Kong had to obtain ''all'' the [[DK Coin]]s from the Kremling enemies [[Koin]] in each level, give them to Funky, and obtain the [[Gyrocopter]]. With this new vehicle, they were able to access the last three caves and give all the Banana Birds to [[Wrinkly Kong]]. When Kiddy and Dixie visited Wrinkly after collecting all the Birds, the little creatures grabbed the two and carried them to their mother, an extra [[Banana Bird Queen|big Banana Bird]] living in the clouds. It turns out that [[Baron K. Roolenstein]] had cursed them, causing the babies to be imprisioned in crystal and the mother in a huge stone contraption. But when they were all reunited, their singing broke the spell. The mother then chased K. Rool down as he tried to escape on his [[Hover Craft (DKC3)|Hover Craft]], but she soon overtook him and dropped a huge egg opon him, fulfilling the game's true ending. |
| [[File:DKa Street Performance mode.png|thumb|Banana Birds appear in a "Street Performance" mode of ''Donkey Konga'']] | |
| Banana Birds are non-playable characters in ''[[Donkey Konga]]''. In single-player mode only, Banana Birds hop around the lower part of the screen while Donkey Kong plays a song. They only act as scenery and have no in-game effect. Banana Birds appear in every musical performance mode ("Street Performance", "Challenge", and "Jam Session"). Only a few hop around the screen in "Jam Session." | |
