'''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 flies around, shooting feathers at [[Kirby]] and occasionally trying to ram him. In his helper form, he has all the abilities of [[Wing]] Kirby. When Kirby swallows him or scans him with the [[Copy]] [[Copy Ability|ability]], he receives the Wing ability. It is very rare to see a Birdon attacking from the ground.
