Robbirds are enemies that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are blue kingfishers with goggles that swoop down at the player in an arc and take any coins that are in their path. They appear only in the level Robbird Cove in the Petal Isles.

Their English name comes from "rob" and "bird", sounding similar to "robber".[1]
