Fruit



In Metroid: Other M, little birdie is seen with a large pinecone object resembling some sort of fruit. Ridley's infantile form is seen smacking his face into the fruit, presumably in an attempt to eat it, although he cannot. Thus, little birdie attempts to stand on it, but slips and falls onto his back. After noticing that Samus Aran has seen him, he scurries off, only to later encounter her again.

Exactly what this sort of fruit is is unknown. The fruit is mostly pink with yellow accents. It is also unknown whether or not there are other kinds of fruit in the Biosphere. The fruit little birdie attempted to eat cannot be interacted with. More can be seen hanging off of trees, if Samus looks at them in Search View. The fruit is only present in the room where Samus first encounters little birdie.

Trivia

 * The fact that little birdie was seen attempting to eat fruit, and later used Samus to eat the honey of the Kihunter hive, suggests that Ridley is an omnivore, at least in his infant stage.
 * Adam Malkovich comments that the unfreezable Metroids and MB are the "fruit" of Project Metroid Warriors, although he is not referring to little birdie's fruit.
