'''Birdon''' is a flying bird [[enemy]] found in a handful of ''Kirby'' games. He is a small multicolored bird with an aviator's cap and goggles on his head. While he can come in many colors, he is most often seen with a magenta body, green and yellow fringes on the wings, and an orange tuft of hair with orange feet. His eyes are very large and round, and his beak is bright yellow. | '''Birdon''' is a flying bird [[enemy]] found in a handful of ''Kirby'' games.
